Perennial Membership Fee Increase

The only way to get subs down is to vote with your feet,so let's have less talk and more action

Isn't the C&CC online membership £5 cheaper for the privildge of not receiving their magazine in paper form?

So I guess it would be reasonable to expect a similar reduction if the CC chose to go down the same route.

It's £6, online membership is £37, paper membership £43.  We opted for the online membership when we re-joined last year, as we never read the mag anyway.

Do you get the sites book with online membership?

No but they have a very useful App for use when out and about otherwise access their web site from home.

To be frank the £2 on the membership is not going to worry anyone. The big problem could be the increase in site fees which will add up over the year.

Do you get the sites book with online membership?

No, you don't get that either; that didn't bother us as we are happy to look at the sites online, where at the same time you can also read reviews.

Edited to say I replied to the post before reading the rest; I see peedee had already answered and made the other point about the app.

There is also the fact that inflation is so low due to large reductions in the cost of vehicle fuel and food costs brought about by supermarket competition. Other cost more applicable to running caravan sites such as labour are on the increase, certainly more than 0.1%.

Not sure labour costs are increasing as the switch to a living wage would appear - in some if not all cases - to being offset by a reduction in wardens contracted hours from 48 to 42 hours per week

Even 48 hours does not cover 9am to 8pm, when the last person can arrive. So I presume anything after the reception closes depends on goodwill. A reduction to 42 sounds like quite a lot of goodwill.

Sounds like a 4 day week paid 10.5 hrs per day ( 9.00am  - 8.00pm with 1/2 hr unpaid for lunch )

I understand that the Lovely employercc have in recent years employed wardens as individuals ,rather than couples as in the past and are now expected to be able to cover ie.42hrs per person,so 84 hrs to cover the site,of course that is how Grimstead see it
