Perennial Membership Fee Increase

Know what you mean Peedee. Personally, we don't hardly use Club Sites, too expensive and regimented. We prefer CL's in the UK, but mainly keep our membership to access ferry crossings. We go to France twice a year, health permitting, and pay an average of £12/night for excellent sites in top locations.

The NLW which is to increase year on year is expected ,if i read the AGM report correctly? to put £800,000 on the wage bill across the club this year alone,plus as already mentioned the latest investments to cater for the ever increasing requirements of the modern membership,

Which is not just effecting the cc but right across the leisure industry,gone are the days of do things for ourselves,it now seems that its not for me, its i want ,i want as long as someone else does it for me

Even if you forget about the magazine and the other advantages such as access to CC Green Flag recovery, or the CL network, it depends on how many nights you spend on CC sites. In our case it works out at just 44p extra per night.

I don't suppose anyone will cheer the increase. But there are significant costs to be borne, labour for one and continuing improvements to sites. If you make frequent use of CC sites and CLs it's not bad - less than half a pint of Doom Bar a week. If you don't make use of these ( or other benefits) the answer is simple - walk away!

Write your comments here...M ,did you know that Doom Bar is no longer brewed in Cornwall? and no longer with UK ingredients

I’d like to think that site costs were funded from site fees, and that membership fees pay for the central admin. I’d also like to think that fringe activities, such as insurance, are self-funding.

If the accounts were presented with greater clarity, there might be more understanding and sympathy.

The membership fee still represents good value IMO but if i,m paying someones wages i,de be interested too know what salary they paying themselves.

Very good point 

As a general question, what do people think of companies that only pay many of their staff the National Minimum Wage?

Speaking for myself it would depend on the business or company involved but what i do think is that anyone who cant or wont pay the minimum wage should not be allowed too employ anyone.
