The same Club, just better...

The same club, no better, no worse, except it now has a silly logo that looks like some used by car makers. and is totally meaningless.

It is a bit flowery and is probably best spelt out in simpler terms!

It seems like a phenomenal amount of money has been spent trying to entice young families and bright young outdoor types.

I wonder what will happen when they find out the WiFi doesn't work or they wake up at Clumber or Ferry Meadows to find someone's stolen all their mountain bikes 

There's something I'll spell out in simple terms very shortly.

In reply to Mr H:

Forgive me, but when I was a younger member, things like carrying a bit of water and emptying the loo were part of the caravanning adventure, and it added to keeping us fit! Even 35 years on, we can still manage to do this basic task. Whilst I appreciate that having some serviced pitches enables those who are less fit and able to carry on touring, turning every Club site into something akin to a touring care home, may not be the way forward to attract youthful new members! By all means have some serviced pitches, but please don't inflict them and the inflated price onto everyone! 

Well some do seem to have a problem understanding it and would like Rome to be built in a day.

1. If you believe ~"Government figures" you are very gullible.

2. How can a pension ever be better than a wage?  Since pensions are made up of an accumulation of payments over many years it is most illogical to suggest pensioners are "better off". Admittedly we have paid off our mortgages and might even have had a lump sum to compensate for the loss of earnings resulting from an imposed early retirement but just to give an example, my son and his wife who re only early thirties are earning far more than we did at their age and much, much more than we both receive in our "company" pensions and my state pension....and since the Govt have cheated my wife out of a state pension for another 6 years we don't even have that enviable source of largesse.  But we both served the public for all of our working lives, both incurring stress related or other illness/injuries and neither ever claimed unemployment benefits.  This stupid talk of pensioners being wealthy, maybe because they have downsized, is divisive at every level....and especially in THIS CLUB!

I think that club prices at peak time for families are reasonably competitive from what I can see. I often see folk leaving site on Sunday outside school hols later than 12 O'clock. Often 2pm and sometimes 4 pm. It depends how booked up a site is for the sunday.

When my wife and I had two children we would usually pay for the Sunday night (usually a pitch and one adult) and leave much later or often first thing Monday morning. I would not book the Sunday probably until Sunday morning having initially booked Friday/Saturday. We were able to pull off for 6pm on a Friday. 

I'm on the edge of my seat
