Dynamic pricing to be introduced

But think of all those deposits sat in the club bank account earning up to 12 months interest on our money 

It's logical as the demand for CLs could be high. 

As peedee said the other club went down this road awhile back. I don't have a problem with it I prefer to keep my money in the bank until I need to spend it so rarely book a year in advance, a month in advance would be early. 

I wonder what they will now do if someone books a year in advance to get a good price, then decides to add additional days to that booking.

a, will they get the additional days at the original price.

b, will the additional days be calculated at the newer probably inflated price or

c, the whole booking gets cancelled and a new booking is made at the inflated price of course.

If you have to change pitch type will that be taken at the new inflated price or just the difference between the 2. 

The other club has been known to cancel the whole booking and re-book at the inflated price. So many questions to be answered.

Might not re-new this year to see how its all going 

It will be your option "c" with the addition of a penalty for doing it.

The access to the ever decreasing number of cl type sites will be the only reason for me to renew my 49 year membership this year,I will be moving my caravan insurance to another provider,I will refuse to use "club" sites even if it is inconvenient and I will encourage members of my family and their friends to go elsewhere!When I was employed in the leisure industry selling caravans and the lifestyle I would very often recommend the customer to join a club and we used to sell the membership packs....maybe I should be taken to court for mis selling!

Just had a look in the Booking Experience section and there is further updated information about booking and pricing on there if you expand the FAQs, the club responses are in line with the FB comments made by the OP and others.

They are very much going to make later bookings less attractive price wise.

As a paid up member I find this is just becoming some sort of silly game. And as part of the 50% who book later rather than earlier (with occasional exceptions) this is poor customer service.

I have never seen so much "information" regarding what should be a simple booking process. Is someone at CAMC hoping to win a prize for literature!!

Thank you DK, I had missed this. It won’t impact us whatever they do, if they aren’t happy to take our short notice custom, at a decent price, we shall simply walk away. 

Cls, thankfully are mini businesses and are generally happy to be a lot more fluid. 

I'm not sure about the ever decreasing number of CL type sites.  There are now more operators in the field so more CLs not certified by the two big clubs.

I think more of us will be using websites like Search For Sites to find our sites instead of just relying on the Club directory.

One might think for normal circumstances but this club is by no means "normal"

there are presumably differing levels of moderation ....🤷‍♂️

(just guessing cos I don't do FaceAche)
