Excessive site fees

We are the opposite ,we have only used one cl and three music festivals.in the last 10yrs ,the rest in the uk on cc sites,and even now this year, we have found it difficult to book some pitches,we only got on one site which showed full,by ringing direct as we wanted 10days,and the site we used last week to "test" new van only had two nights midweek available,so whether a "few" think its expensive, the majority of both clubs members think otherwise

Agree, for once I have had trouble booking into certain sites at certain times and have now booked everything for the rest of the year in case the peak times also go.

Only use club sites when we have vouchers otherwise it's CLs.

Whilst some claim that "peakers" would subsidise the "off-peakers", I would suggest that the reverse could be the case as increasing off-peak income would aid the reduction/stabilisation of peak prices.

There is one point about "off peak" usage declining? the winters are getting warmer and wetter which when talking to people is deturing them useing their leisure vehicles,where they would go if it was cold but bright

irrespective of the number of vanners who 'off peak', isnt the issue whether CC is interested in attrarcting them to their sparsly filled midweek stes?

currently, their pricing suggests they arent and are happy for members to sample other suppliers wares....

We ,I  would have thought ,all sampled other suppliers wares but then reverted to the best for each persons own requirements, but find it more difficult to do so as the product  has become more difficult to access as it unable to keep up with demand

No matter how many think it's expensive it shows the clubs pricing structure is not working as stated in the price guide. 

Club site fees are set to be as fair as possible to ALL MEMBERS which clearly its not by the comments made in this thread. 

Whether club site fees are excessive or not is a matter of opinion. Where the sites are full it would appear they are not. Where sites have lots of room then there may be rom for some adjustment but the trick is to get the maximum revenue and recucing fees may not achieve this.

It might depend on how much they were reduced by. £5 and the effect might be minimal, resulting in a loss of income. Knock a tenner off and there could be a substantial increase in turnover.
