I've just read in the New CLs list in the club magazine, as they laughingly call the junk mail self advertising masquerading as a magazine, that there is a new CL at a garden centre in Northwich, Cheshire. The price is an eye watering £20 a night. Approaching club site price for a CL. Hope no one gives, pricing like this will destroy the whole ethos of the wonderful CL network.

I agree with Ocsid real world occupancy might shock some that only visit summer weekends.

If you really have to put in expensive infrastructure, personally, I would just forget it as the return on investment isn't worth it.

Unless of course the CL is incorporated into another business such as a farm, or B&B then all kinds of interesting accountancy possibilites open up. Innocent

Too much to hope that post Brexit we will see the repeal of VAT I suppose?

What is unfair is some CLs have to charge VAT others don't, so the farmer's odd field CL is going to be 20% more expensive, like for like, than the domestic garden, small holder CL.

A business has to turn over £18k to be vat registered (that might be a bit out of date) so usually its the ones with an associated business that have to charge the end users.

I must be well out of date. Retired now.

Thats not going to bother most CL's then.

Thanks for the update.

No worries it was probably 18k when CL's were five pounds a night!!!!!Laughing
