Membership Cards and Sites Directories

I had a quick look at the new site directory yesterday and I noticed the Club seem to have taken into account the complaints about only quoting for the site fee plus one adult. They still do that but underneath they also quote the starting price for pitch plus two adults and also give the starting price for a child. Perhaps CT played a small part in that decision?

I quite like that improvement. Although I’m not sure if the accuracy of some of the other information. I was looking at Richmond Hargill House for visiting Richmond. The booking site only  says the area offers transport links with a bus service into Richmond. However the site directory says  that a bus stop is adjacent. Street view and google maps do not show this, nor the bus company time table, although the bus does pass the site. Perhaps it stops if you flag it down.🤔 It is a fairly important consideration as the nearest bus stop is almost a mile away and 90 metres lower down a fairly steep hill on a road without pavement. I suppose the easiest thing is to ring the site when open and ask. 

I know you don’t like to move your MH when on site Steve, but there is a very good MH car park in Richmond (Yorks). It’s called Yorke Square, just up from bridge over River Swale, short steep stroll up to Castle and town, and then there’s all the river walks. Lovely town is Richmond. Sorry, not sure about buses. Hargill House is a noisy Site, adjacent to A66. 

Sorry to digress.

Thanks for that info TDA, it’s certainly an alternative. I noticed the proximity to the A66 but wouldn’t mind for 2 / 3 nights. However, if we were using the parking would probably go from Lower Wensleydale, which we have done in the past when we had a caravan.

Yes, that’s a nice run Steve, particularly if you go over the hills, quite doable in an MH. That car park might get busy in the peak season months by the way, but we have seen some big MHs in there, not just tiddlers  like ours, including a Winnebago. 👍😁

It's still retrograde though. I recall when "all" the pricing structure was available in the SD.

It will be out of date in no time.

At least they made the effort

I can’t see the point in publishing all the price bands. If you want that, plus up to date prices, much better to use the website. The site directory is already out of date as it gives October 22 prices. However, it does show the relative differences between sites at that time. Personally I think it provides sufficient guidance and anything else would be pointless in a directory that lasts 2 years.

Yes I too (and there were about seven) but at a time when prices were relatively stable, now they are not and cannot be forecast so well even over a year, look what happened over 2022.

In my view it would be a retrograde step to use paper copies like you say rather than a website, greener for one thing but it is far up to date and kept up to date

You said you were on a cruise and been abroad with your MH? Did the companies involved have paper copies like the holiday brochures of the past that were sent to you or picked up in the travel agencies? Did you have to go onto their website to either print them off, just like the club? Or perhaps didi you check the current up to date price online?

And even if you had a paper copy from somewhere as described did it have the up to date prices? Did you just go with them or pay the price on the day of booking or online? As soon as something is sent out it's probably out of date.

Your choice but I'm not sure why you need the prices tbh if you're not going to use club sites anyway?
