Membership renewal premium

So tell me, Ian, why do you belong to CC if the sites are so dear you never use them?

As I've said before, we are using them less and less each year. Getting close now to it not being worth the 'membership' / booking premium.

Sorry! Are you really complaining about an increase of £2?

You pay less than £1 per week for the CC membership. I am not sure what else you can get for that sort of money; a chocolate bar perhaps!

As previously said, you have a choice of paying the increase or leaving the CC and paying a premium each night to use sites as a non member. 

Write your comments here...I think you may be missing the point.  You'll probably find that CC membership has gone up 14 and a half time more than a bar of chocolate in the last year.

Greetings from a rather wet Slovenia. Now "listen very carefully, I shall say this only once!" 

Nobody forces anyone to be a CC member - there is no law saying you must join the club! In fact I've heard it rumoured that some non CC sites are actually better than CC ones.

So, for heaven's sake, man up, people! If you don't like it the answer is in your own hands!

Apologies, must just nip back to the bar now for another blueberry brandy before closing time!

Funny you should say that, Dave. We were at Bled today and enjoyed a free Kreminstka - the local cream cake - delicious!

Thanks for your refreshing post.  And I hope that you are now enjoying your blueberry brandy.  I hope the weather cheers up in Slovenia (and England come to that) soon.

But I must say i don't warm to your "man up" comments.  By definetion CC is a club.  I can afford to pay the subscription increases but as a member of "the club" I want to told the administrators accountble.  If they want to hike the prices above the rate of inflation, no probelm, just tell me why.

Well I do have some sympathy with you on that. The problem is that you don't have to look very far afield on CT to find members arguing that the "club" should no longer behave like a "club" but seek to emulate various commercial holiday chains. Not a view I share, by the way!

..Yes but has the club got smaller as have the chocolate bars and still got more expensive

In the nearly 20 years that we have been CC members the fee has only increased from £35 to £48. I dont think thats at all bad. Yes we also use some non CC sites and yes some are slightly better and also slightly cheaper. But we also use a lot of their other services as well and on occasion their swift and excellent advice over the phone has been invaluable.

for someone who (say) has 50 nights away a year across a variety of suppliers, ans say 10 of these are with CCC, 30 with commercials and 10 with CC, the site nights for both the clubs (where an approx £50 membership sub is paid) it will add £5 to each night away.....thats quite a difference.

so, although one might describe the fee as a pound a week, it really tramslates into £x per site night where this varies with usage and low users pay quite heavily for the privelige...
