Two tier membership

I would like to propose a two tier membership to the Club.

The first tier would be full membership has it is now.

The second tier would be the use of CL Sites only.

If you held CL membership only, you could still use other club sites, but you would need to pay a nominal fee. This level would be ideal for those of us that only use CL sites and do not wish to use the larger sites that are now becoming more like commercial site.

Please discuss.

Thanks Stuart

Back on topic, two tier membership? No.

Yes. However only insofar as a reduced price digital membership, as with the C&CC. 
Although given comments on CT of late it is possible they rather hope to achieve this for everyone without any form of reduction.☹️

Yes +1 there, although I don't see that as a two tier membership the only thing 'lost' is the magazine which is still available? 

And yes that option is there already, at no loss to the club, so if they weren't thinking about it already...

Actually I can see a time when having a card will be by request. I'm not sure about the CCC is the membership card still issued for digital membership? I mean that could certainly reduce costs, all that printing and postage?

Yes you still get a membership card but no magazine (although available online) or site directory. As our CAMC one sits on the bookshelf for two years, we don’t find that an obstacle.

And neither would I, and would certainly welcome a reduction for having a digital card.

There'll still be dinosaurs like me that want a card as some C.L. owners still ask to see them, although not as many as there should be.

I do wonder if people who want a two tier system think about what else could be two tiered. Size of unit? Dog only area? Adult only area? Motorhome only area? etc. Once you open that can of worms you'll never get it back in.

Many years ago we were put onto a pitch that was postage size because we had a smallish caravan. It was an AS site in Shropshire. There were more spacious pitches available but owners wouldn't budge (so we weren't able to either). Never been back and never will.

I wonder if people who want a two tier system would go in to a pub and demand cheaper beer on the basis that they never eat there, and don't see why they should contribute to the cost of the kitchen?

PS. Lots of posts removed. Did things get lively last night?

Good analogy. I’ll add - even though they know the kitchen subsidises the whole pub and therefore benefits every customer.

Perhaps the site owner/warden knew there were bigger outfits on the way & were setting the "more spacious pitches" aside for them.
