There have been a number of threads running about the cost of Club sites and the fact that they seem to struggle to offer prices as low as commercial sites, particularly out of season.
I would have thought that, being a 'member' would confer some sort of discount.....but it appears not.
So what does our membership fee actually cover?
Given that there are about 400,000 memberships the fee must bring in close to £20 million!
If we don't see a reduction in site fees compared to other, similar sites, what do we actually get?
(Yes, I know we don't have to pay a non-member fee on sites, but that's just extra to a allready high price and is just there to push non-members into joining).
I assume (hope!) that when the CC sets up a department to sell insurance, european holidays etc that they are required to cover their own costs and show a profit and not be subsidised by members' fees?
Are we paying for a bloated Head office set up, perhaps?
