Membership Fee Increase

I believe the club does lobby on our behalf, we're not having to pay MOT costs on our caravans in one example in part due to the club and the club works with the NCC and others on major issues that affect us all, such as safety or approved workshops.

I do not believe it should lobby manufactures as to the state of their products. To buy or not is our choice

I join a pie eating club, I would expect this club to review and warn me of good or bad pies but not to talk to the local pie shop?

BTW have you asked the club to lobby manufactures?

Personally I have serious reservations about allowing untested trailers on our congested roads no matter what the financial savings might be.

I haven't asked the Club because I am not a member 

It’s actually impossible to test overrun brakes as the forces acting on them at any given time cannot be predicted and that makes a test somewhat pointless. In much the same way as a pie cannot be tested for taste without sampling it in a real life situation.

I think your generosity of your pound a week into a charity box is very admirable ,instead of continuing your membership,will of course also reduce your choice of areas in the uk,that you may wish to visit,unless of course you are willing to pay the add £12 per night  and no access to about an add 3000 places to stop

I think you have a very blinked idea when talking about the UK leisure vehicle industry why should any club/organisation name and shame for what is considering the size of and the amount of vehicles sold,a tiny amount of people with "problems?"

What a strange post, but then 

also what sort of an owner would not have their leisure vehicle serviced which covers the "trailer part

This thread actually prompted me to take a look at the Club's Leisure Vehicle user survey (boring I know, but it's raining heavily outside). All I can say is that the Club and its members have confirmed my suspicions, and we shall be sticking with older, quality models for the time being! See, although the Club is getting some stick for not actively coming out and shouting to all and sundry about how poor the reliability of some models are, (would you actively savage the hand that feeds you?), it does let its survey and members offer some guidance!

Almost, Pie in the Sky!

I use CC sites and Cls but I factor in my membership fee when comparing with other commercials to work out value for money. As for profit, you can see from the Audited accounts and reserves that they price until the pips squeak. like every other organisation. The  Ho function is now so removed from the members that they have no empathy for the "club structure".

Not sure I understand the problem. £51.00 isn't even a pound a week to be a member. What other leisure club can you be a member of for that price. Gym's, golf clubs, tennis clubs are all vastly more that that.

£22.00 off season and £26.00 peak ( pitch and 2 adults) or there abouts is also pretty fair considering the quality of facilities and sites on offer. Most camc sites and facilities are far better quality than c&cc sites.

Stop whinging or leave.
