Perennial Membership Fee Increase

Don't forget to factor in the value of your monthly magazine, peedee! 

I saw that they say the magazines value is £40 so I would like to be taken off the mailing list for the mag and have my membership for £8 please...

Yes please membership at £8. Dont really want the crappy mag.which should be self financing as most of it is adverts.

Quite agree, I would gladly forsake the rubbish magazine that takes about 5 mins to read from cover to cover for a reduced membership fee. I think both site fees and membership fee are getting to the upper end of reasonable.

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.

It's o.k. Peter, we taxpayers top up low wages through in-work benefits on behalf of companies so that their fat cats and shareholders can get fatter rather than pay decent wages.

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

Where are all these employees that will cost £800k more?

at the sharp end (sites) we only get two (sometimes four) lowly paid, staff per site.....

the big numbers must be at HQ running the 'soft' money making side of the business......insurance, ferries etc.....easily able to fund any increses from the profits quoted earlier in this thread....

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

Think that's just the bottled stuff isn't it, brewed at Burton on Trent now? But the draught stuff is still brewed down in Rock, Cornwall. 

Caravan Club always come in cheaper for 'tunnel' price than going direct, so a good saving there. CL network worth the remainder so I'm happy with the real cost of membershp being only a few quid.

The forum must be worth something

I think you have your answer in what you have written. If the mag is truely self financing the CC cannot afford to reduce your membership by £40, as they would then have to find that £40 from somewhere else.

the answer is that the club wants the advertising revenue AND our subscriptions....AND way above inflation pitch price rises..

My thoughts exactly. But, if the magazine could be read from a PC, the Club might save some money by not requiring it in print.
