Membership Fee Increase

as I haven't seen this post just added a comment to the 2018 pitch price thread I'm not renewing my membership in March due to the increases I don't use CLS so time for me to go 

I thought the club we pleased with increasing membership numbers. Will they remain? We will have to wait until the club disclose, if they do in easy to gague figures, movement in membership numbers 😉

The increase will make no difference to me, but at a smidgen over 4% I can imagine it is but another increase in addition to the many that people are enduring in this economical climate.

A bit greedy of the Club I think for no apparent good reason.

Squeeze them until the pips squeak.

 That's quite a big difference between the 2 clubs 

It is. CC costs about 17% more and has about 70% more sites. Not sure how the CL/CS networks compare

If you want to add family members (is that children?) another £8 no increase for 4th year running.

A family is normally a child over 18 at the same address and means that they can stay in the caravan (with friends perhaps) as a member when the parents are not present and without a non-member addition to pitch prides. Useful for some. 

Similarly, I have just had my M/H insurance renewal from the Club.

No claims in the year or convictions etc, and presumably the van has depreciated a bit as well but the requested premium was a 6.9% increase over last year......

I got a 1% pay rise this year...

Luckily a quote from Saga was 33% cheaper...........

The Club is definitely aiming for a wealthy client base......

I didn't renew last year as our planned touring areas were better supported by other and better located sites. The jury is out whether I will pay for the CMC discount card this year.----- Depends on our touring plans.

Oh, is it that much ,I wouldn't know ,I renew by DD ,but how do you quantify value for money ???????

Most sites bearing the label C&CC say you must be a Member to use their sites.

A few weeks ago I rang a C&CC site, told them I wasn't a Member, but was cordially allowed to book a couple of nights with them.

I've no idea whether I paid more than a C&CC Member or not but if we are allowed on sites without being a Member what is the point of joining ?

I used a couple of CL sites for the other nights we were away and those three sites were the only sites we have used in the UK this year.

 Many nights abroad - but not in the UK.

I won't be renewing my C&CC Membership whatever the cost.

But the thread is about this club.....
