Is it not time that all members paid the same price for their membership? members with children at school pay a much higher figure for their membership compared to those of us who are retired - retires can take holidays can take holidays outside the school holiday season thus overall paying much less as a member. Members with school age children can only take holiday during school holidays and pay a high premium for using sites in "high" season so thereby paying more for their membership. Surely the time has come to charge a standard fee for a member using a site throughout the year so that costs are the same for all members.
As a "club" surely we can lead the tourism community by not charging more for site fees during the school holidays this penalising parents who do not take their children out of school during term time!
I am a pensioner, did many years of holidays only during school holidays, so have nothing to benefit from the change in pricing BUT I do think we have to put something back in to the community in some way and, to my mind, this is a superb way of doing it! We really need to encourage parents to keep putting heir children's education as a priority.
