Singles Penalised

I can't get insured by the club as they not insure you if you commute to work ,the reason I have small camper is being on my own I can't afford to run a car and a bigger camper ,not sure I can Tow a van ,I do use the club sites I was merely agreeing with th OP ,off away to tommorw I go as often as I can come rain hail or shine so when you see a litttle Romahome on site come and say Hi 

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!

But I was born in Kent.

Does anyone else feel that singles are penalised when it comes to deals?  The Club keeps saying that £14 per night is a grand deal for 2 adults and up to 4 children.  True - it is  But for singles it is NOT.  There are over 60,000 of us who do not get the same benefits as families or couples.  Despite my efforts nobody seems to care.  If there are good deals on offer then they should be open to ALL members even if they are lone travellers.  Does anyone else feel the same?

We are a couple so arnt we penalised as well?

Normal cc price is per pitch then pay per person as has been said, don't see how that's unfair

As I see it and posted on the other thread it is generally not the singles who are prejudiced but the rest of us. They pay one pitch fee and one member fee. We pay that plus far more than the cost to the club for the additional occupants so the more of you in the caravan or motorhome the more you subsidise those with less.

I am afraid I don't really understand this OP. Special offers are just what they say,  and as with all special offers come with T&C's, which are more advantageous to some groups than others. In my opinion singles already get a fair deal from the CC  due to its pricing policy. A lot of commercial sites charge per pitch, which would mean a single would pay the same as a family. At all but a few, the CC charges for pitch then each occupant. This would mean a single paying £6.80 to £10.20 less than a couple for the same pitch at Chatsworth. I would call that a fair deal.

Write your comments here...it might be a fair deal but under the clubs idea of making more money to reinvest what excuse would they make when they see a family of 4 wanted a pitch because it would seem as I've already pointed out a single may be bumped in favour of a family. That fact has come direct from the club via Rochelle.

The idea that a single was bumped for a family is simply not a fact but a possibility based on possible criteria for dealing with weather damage to pitches. You will not lose your pitch for a larger family in normal circumstances if indeed it happened at all.

Well Vivien certainly lost her booking and the club reply certainly implied that they had bumped her for a more lucrative opportunity.  Of course the club could clarify officially on here, but I doubt they will, too busy cleaning the egg off their faces.

families are penalised more. they can only go at weekends and school holidays when the prices are sky high. then you add in the extra costs on site but you are still only alloed to use the same amount of pitch area. even if you put up a pup tent you are still on one pitch so why should you pay more if you have children on the pitch with you.  very unfair if they are bumping bookings for longer ones though

Isn't having a family a lifestyle choice? With acceptance of everything our society provides and expects as part of the deal? 

Every sector of the holiday industry now jumps on the bandwagon of peak charging during school holiday periods, but the CC does offer at least a few deals, such as kids for £1 and fixed price pitches regardless of how many are crammed into a caravan/MH/awning/pup tent, albeit not across the board.

Single travellers do get a somewhat rough deal from holiday providers, single supplements are notorious across a lot of holidays. Again, CC don't seem as bad as most when providing for most category of touring unit, but you have to shop around for deals.
