2020 Club Accounts

Problem too often with the so-called ‘eco’ pitch is they are too often the less desirable pitches e.g. uneven ground, slopes, miles from the toilet etc. More so CMC than CCC in my experience. I assume ‘eco’ is a reference to economical (cheaper) than ecological (sustainabie), which would explain that policy.  

I can’t think of any occasion in the summer months when I’ve absolutely had to have electricity. I’d like to see all pitches having the option of electric or not with a price differentiation, but obviously there would be some cost issues. Those folks with a penchant for gravel and being umbilically connected to energy and drainage can continue as now, while others wouldn’t be forced into paying for a service they don’t want or need. 

perhaps C&CC might have its model wrong....offering the option of a non EHU pitch to members must be costing them dear and encouraging those that take it up to cause untold harm to the environment.

..and there was i thinking that generating my own, free, power, rather than using the club supply, i might be doing some little good in keeping that vast total of KWh down a fraction....obviously not.

oh well...ill just await the next round of CC price rises happy in the knowledge that by taking full advantage of the Clubs 16a supply, and despite paying ever more for the pivilege, ill be doing my bit to save the planet

im going to feel really bad now, telling the OH we wont be going to our next THS 'for environmental reasons' despite generating our own power....and we'll have to use Club sites instead...she's going to be well ****ed.

what an interesting world we live in...

ps Steve...a decent MPPT solar regulator can talk to your fridge and, when batteries are charged and solar energy is available, it will automatically switch it to 'battery/12v' 

Set your LV up properly and you need never hook up again. Off grid I use kettle, microwave, toaster and OH- hairdryer. That's why I have availed myself of the non EHU (cheaper) option on C&CC sites.

Burn me at the stake for heresy (hearsay  ) if you must.
