In my recent renewal notice I see that my fee has gone up from £46 per year to £48 per year. This is a 4.35% increase. When inflation is running at 0.3% this makes for an increase that is 14 and a half times that of inflation. And yet there apparrently is no need for an explanation of this hike in the renewal premium. Can anyone give me an explanation before I put pen to paper with an official complaint.

According to an article I just read, a typical director's salary at CC is nearly £93k
Really! How much! Well if the CC can afford to pay that much in wages I wish they would spare some money for new chippings for the hard standings at Moreton in Marsh site. Just spent a week there and got a bit fed up with large patches of bare muddy earth. We even moved some of the chippings from the edge of the hard standing ourselves to cover a large very bare patch outside our door.

So; having been rightly reprimanded several posts ago I, as the original Op, now have another observation. Is it morally OK for an organisation that is run for profit to call themselves a “Club”. Whilst I am sure that it is all legally above board the word club to me implies that it is run for the benefit of its member; not its shareholders.

But is CC run for profit? Is it not costed to cover overheads and maybe feed a contingency fund for future development? Are there shareholders taking a nice divi? I don't think so.
The club is not specifically run for profit but long term cannot make a loss or it would go bust. It has to have reserves to cover contingencies and be able to fund future developments.
There are no shareholders or investors taking a profit though and it is run by a committee of volunteers.
