We have been members for many years on and of since the 1970's and this is the first time I have had to write.

I don't like the new pricing in the 2019 handbook. We went to a site in Wales this June 2019

and it said in the handbook (I quote) 2019 prices from £8.90 per night for pitch and one adult.

However we paid over £23.00 for the night. That was for two adults. That means one second adult was £15.00. This was called a booking fee. The pricing is not clear. We looked

in the handbook and you now have to download the correct price guide.

Sorry CMC this is a bit misleading.

Please bring back the old way of pricing.

Every advert you see for a new car comes up as a “prices from” nowadays. You have to be quick enough to catch the small print that flashes onto the screen for a couple of seconds to realise that the super flash paint finish, air con, adaptive technology, spare wheel (🤣), Etc.....comes at extra price. It’s why there are such boring coloured cars around in the main. Black, white, grey or goldy-beige Sir? Ah, you fancy something a tad more bold, that comes at an extra £1000 and a three month wait Sir......😂😂😂

Its the same with pitches. Patch of grass? A tenner. Two people? Another tenner. Hook Up? A fiver. Much like those super cheap rail tickets, there is a bargain out there, but it’s usually because no one else wants it.😁

We dont pay on trains either because like you we have retired staff travel.

There are some top bargains, but you have to want to do the right journey, at the right time, on the right day. I needed to be in Berwick upon Tweed one Wednesday morning by 9am, bingo! Ticket in quiet coach on the 6.05am from Doncaster cost me £8. Another time, another day it would cost £200 plus. Mind I did complain to taxi driver that it was costing me twice as much from home to Donny station than all the way to Berwick🤣

AD, I so wish that I had that particular retirement perk, I love train travel.

I have had visits to sites that I had booked before the November (was it?) increase and have several to go. In all cases when arriving the wardens didn't get out a paper with the old prices on and use a calculator to work out what the price I should be paying. They just looked it up on the screen in front of them. No fiddling (in the MM definition), no extended period of time, it was just there and they just asked for the price I had expected. It is not a big problem.

As long as it's the saddle you're flogging and not the horse!

Errrrr. .... what just happened? I thought I'd read a post from TtDA about flogging a worn in and much loved old saddle - where did that go? Has age caught up with me at last?

Relax, it’s nothing to do with age.😊

Whoa there old lad! You did read a post about a saddle. 😂😁 The horse passed away a good few years ago, but we have a few bits of memorabilia around. Keeping his bridle, but the saddle is going, too much money to have laid about up in attic.

I am on a roll at the moment selling stuff, good job the pooch is now gender neutral or he might have been earning his vet bills! 😲
