Good deal for you then PD as well. We shall be there probably late Jan, early Feb, after Xmas, pre half term, mid week. Like it as quiet as possible.
Don’t know if you know it, but top of Winnats Pass, turn right, then right again, (Blue John Mine) some great MH parking underneath Mam Tor, looking right down Hope Valley and Lose Hill. There’s an old bus turning circle, so no nasty manoeuvring to do. Best eatery in the area is back towards Hathersage, The Bird Cafe. Best pub in Castleton is The George, nice food in there.

The email seems to assume you will pay in advance of arrival or pay in full on booking, if I have read it correctly? Now if you are only staying one night there might not be an option to do anything else. However if staying more than one night surely you could untick the box which agrees to paying in advance? That way the voucher could be used as part payment which might be less work for site staff? Although I am sure the Free Night scheme will be very popular I imagine a fair slice of the membership don't normally start their touring season until later than the end of March? So it will be interesting to see what the take up is like. Once I have sorted my service and MOT, which is usually the beginning of March I might be tempted at a few days at Morton in Marsh or Ferry Meadows.

That's how I read the email; payment in advance, then getting the 1st night refunded on arrival. I haven't made any bookings on the new system, so am not familiar with the process; although I have of course read a lot of posts on the subject, and am aware that you can untick a box, so that you only pay on arrival. However, I've also read that people thought they had unticked the box, only to find that payment had been taken before arrival anyway......
I agree that a considerable number of the membership don't start their touring season until April, or Easter, the offer is available until the 27th of March, and Good Friday is on the 29th, so Easter is excluded. It will indeed be interesting to see what the uptake will be.
We go away all year round, so we will make use of it.

Posted on 11/11/2023 13:06 by DavidKlyneWhat do they say "Don't look a gift horse in the face" The offer is there so why not take it. Not much point seeking motivation for the offer in my view. If it proves popular it's just possible it will be repeated. If we book three nights at one of the sites I previously mentioned they are about £31 a night in early March so rather than £93 it would cost me £62, about the same as it would cost per night on an all facility CL? Just for ref, Moreton in Marsh was £24 a night at that time of year in 2019 so even a saving on prices five years ago!

It’s time limited to two months, 1st Jan to 27th February, so that eliminates those that either don’t tour in Winter, or might not have a Club Site open without travelling a long way. (There aren’t as many sites open after Xmas in some geographical areas)
Tda, the offer is open until the 27th March, so it takes in the February Half Term school holidays in England, Wales and Scotland, and finishes just before the schools' Easter holiday periods in England and Scotland, but includes the first week of the Welsh Schools holiday period.
We will certainly take advantage of it, either on our homeward journey after our Xmas trip or on our early spring one.

Posted on 11/11/2023 16:18 by eurortravellerI get offers as e mails everyday . Some I accept, some I delete.
The latest is Nivea Happy Days Skincare Gift Set for £5.50 instead of £11.00 . Half price, what a bargain. How can anyone look such a gift horse in the face?
I just did.

School hols up here , in the Glasgow area, are from 28th March , so outside the offer.
School hols up here these days are fixed to the first 2 weeks in April, with a long weekend for Easter if it falls outside that period.
CCC do not consider that holiday period to be a peak period in Scotland (so far) ( must think it is too cold!) so age offers are still valid, which is useful.
Puzzled as to why CAMC start to increase prices the week before.
