Membership fee

I get my money's worth out of van insurance, and great days out vouchers. 

This year I've saved more than my membership on ferries. 

If it didn't provide value I'd leave 

Access to the CL network. Red Pennent, expensive but complete. Mayday and vouchers. Small price to pay annually.

I do like Ian's expression. "The Braying Bunch" I will have to remember that for the future. A good alternative to the " Usual Suspects " or the "Little Clique"

As far as the membership fee is concerned, I would be happy to pay the eight pounds per annum after they have discounted the Forty pounds for me opting out of receiving the printed magazine

I had you down K as someone who could argue rationally rather than resort to insulting your fellow posters when you can't make your point?

Write your comments here...Corners, unlike the "usual suspects" , I would never single out a particular  poster for any kind of  insults. --- I never have had to ----It's not my style,  I leave that sort of thing to the honourable members of the "Little Clique" who seem to be adept at the personal insults style of discussion.

very rationally argued, a masterclass even. I liked it to help you on your way to double purple

Getting back to membership fees, I see the C&CC are holding theirs the same for 2016 as 2015. I also see that after 25 years membership for the over 65s the fee drops dramatically to about half of the normal fee.

so why is that do you think? I have no dealing with the dark of of the force, sorry CCC, are they doing that as their sites are not popluar? or they have a different client group? 

I don't think their sites are not popular, their availability of hardstandings over Easter is much less than the CC but that may be because they have less of these? Their profitability looks better than that of the CCs so my guess is with their membership growing, they do not feel they need to increase the subs. On the latter point for long serving members over 65, it is nice to see some loyalty rewarded.

We are 'fortunate' to be old enough and to have belonged to C&CC for long enough to qualify for both Age Related Discount, when applicable, on site fees and for Veteran Membership. The latter reduces the annual membership fee by 50%. Actually, it's the only reason we still renew. CC sites and booking arrangements are superior in our view and C&CC sites are usually no cheaper even with the discount applied.

Been a member for nigh on 32 years, might have had the odd break. Access to CL network, like the small no facility sites, save our membership fees with great days out vouchers. Some  aspects over recent months, such as fiasco with plans for Broadway etc.... Losing sites such as Much Wenlock, Bromyard Downs have given pause for thought, but as I say, it cost us nothing compared with what we save. We look at insurance offers, but shop around.

Have I missed something, tda....are you sure that Bromyard Downs is definitely going to be closed,  if so when? If it's to be at the end of this year we'll have to call in there this summer.
