Dynamic pricing to be introduced

Could be correct but it doesn't alter my main point that that it's outfit on pitches and booking that the club will look at rather than any social media comments, responded to or not.

Well they won't be having mine this year I've booked alternatives for the rest of the year for a much lower cost

I never said they did not notice, in fact as I did say they to respond to them they must do.

I was replying to your comment about whether they were "bothered" or not, they probably are bothered more than it appears although they seem to be fire fighting things at the moment with their responses to the new booking system and pricing etc. 

Everything hinges on bookings, you are correct, but judging by many of the comments on FB, TP, CT etc many are disappointed with the way things are going. Which is why the TP ratings have collapsed from 5* to 3.4* !!

I am in hospital  and there are people  I would like to shout at but they have syringes and I have more sense.

I haven't followed CT for a few days, but I'm sorry to read you're still in hospital AD.  I hope it won't be long before you can go home and send you my best wishes.

Off topic, but wanted to to respond.

It's not acceptable that members are giving wardens a hard time on matters that the wardens have no control over but at least those matters are passed up.

But I find it it interesting that although they do this they are still coming along to club sites? 

I don't think the club is bothered at all by any social media comments whatsoever. They will respond but are those comments truly representative of what people using sites actually feel? It is outfits on pitches and/or bookings that they will look at and what was the latest number of booking given a while back on the 'new' booking system - 250,000? 

Yesterday I looked at a frequent flyer site and it's low for the next few months, and on some SPs full across some weeks. At Seacroft all pitches are low from now! SP for July and August are low and for half the months they are full. So what will the club think looking at all this?

For the last few years it's been sites will be empty, everyone will vote with their wheels, lets all 'protest' at the next AGM... and it never happens - so far of course.

The only thing the club will respond to is a lack of, or a significant decrease in, income, and again that doesn't appear to be happening to me, or even to the extent needed. Not going to club sites is really the only power 'we' have, yet even those that 'complain' to wardens are still turning up and paying their money.

Sadly, it’s nearly always front line staff of any organisation that bear the brunt of Mr and Mrs Angry, and I always think it’s hard, because they are seldom in a position to respond beyond toeing the official line. Anyone abusing such staff immediately shows their own weakness and inability to resolve their own issues. I sincerely hope that if things do get serious, then HQ defends those staff where appropriate, and deflects the flak away from those who caught up in unpopular policies and procedures.

I have watched two AGMs these past years, via Zoom like technology, and have to say have been totally underwhelmed in terms of content, responses and reports back. Perhaps the AGM isn’t the best place to raise anything really, as it seems totally stage managed prior to taking place.  Reports have to be delivered, the content is generally published prior to the meeting, beyond that nothing much else actually happens unless there is a bunch of flowers to be given out. I can only recall one question from the floor that was of any interest, and somewhat ironically, 18 months on, the Club are having to trial that suggestion of metered hook ups, but still showing a degree of reluctance to take such things on board. Any questions submitted via email aren’t discussed, and you only have to read through the responses to realise most are shoehorned into certain categories and given a generic Club response. Much like what is happening on TP. 

Regional meetings are possibly livelier, and need to be. There wasn’t a single response to any questions from the floor last October. Unbelievable given what was going on at the time with the implementation of the new booking system. The whole shebang, from the lowliest Committees right up to the AGM needs a review and some better input from away from the three main reports. A simple regional feedback would be a start, and perhaps get more folks interested. I question if central London is the best location as well, think it’s been there a couple of years running now. Expensive and not that easy for a lot of folks to get to if you are anywhere but SE based.
