Singles Penalised

I never said I wanted half prcie mebership but as corner steady said a discount would be ok and how the hell do my 2 dogs use the site facilities ???? if I took them in the shower there would be an uproar ,or to you all of you that don't think its fair solos getting a reduction ,how about opt out of getting the magazine every month if you not want it benefits everyone then 

As a solo motorhomer I feel that the club site fees in general are better than commercial sites as they assume unit +2 adults.

GC - you can opt out of receiving the magazine if you go to communication preferences on your profile. But you won't get a discounted membership! The C&CC have tried this with, I think, a discount of £5. Not sure what percentage of the membership have taken it up. As I said earlier, and biggermac has just confirmed I do think you get a pretty good deal from the club's pitch + person fee structure. The main thing is to get out there and enjoy yourself with the dogs. Caravanning wouldn't be the same without them, would it? 

you may have a point with the membership fee

Why? GC has the same access to all the same facilities such as insurance etc as any other member.

Write your comments here...actually I dont as the caravan club wont insure me ,discount on a new car is worthless to me and there isn;t a cotswold clothing company in my area 

However you still have those options, just like all other members. As far as insurance is concerned is it all aspects of their insurance that you can't access, or just for your M/H?

If you give a discount to singles, it is unfair to couples. If you give a discount to singles, it is unfair to couples. Everything in life is unfair to some individuals or groups. Get used to it, quit moaning, enjoy the bargains when you can and just enjoy caravanning.

Spoken like a true yorkshireman!

well when a couple join the other half gets free membership, so the cost is halved, sort of. I know it all comes from the same pot. I am not saying the membership fee should be half for a single person but some reduction perhaps? The same as the reduction for single occupancy for coucil tax. Pitch and person fee should stay the same.

So by that arguement a family of 5 should pay more than one of 4 for membership, and 4 more than one of 3 etc. CC & C&CC membership doesn't work that way.

sorry trying my best but I can't follow that at all, at the moment familes of 10 pay the same membership fee as a couple, I am not saying that is fair or otherwise, I merely suggested that GC had a point with the membership fee, which was that a single person joining may/should/perhaps get a discount.I am not a single member so it doesn't bother at all and the current fee works in my favour. I do know how the membership fee works but thanks for your reply

im not sure about the site pricing affecting singles (person, pitch fee etc) ill mull that over....

but ISTM that the membership fee could be half of what it is, with singles paying just the half, couples paying twice this (ie the current fee) and dependents also going free.

this would give single members a bonus without impacting the couples or family costs.

i certainly dont have an issue with a single member paying a half rate fee....it would mean all adults paid the same and all family dependents were included...

Write your comments here...You have a point about membership rates. I would be happy to see the membership rates based on a "Per Person" basis, with a couple paying the current rate and singles paying half.  Larger family groups paying more, obviously that would not apply to young children.
