Enquire about the availability on a CL in N.Yorkshire for next weekend. The site is listed as £13 in the 2015/16 Site Directory, so did expect to see a rise possibly up to £15. Got word back that a pitch was avilable at £18pn
.
no thank you very much, as I can get a club site pitch for a good bit less than that. Wonder how they can justify a 40% increase.

MichaelT Not sure where the relationship comes in. What gets up my nose is the Cls know when the book is printed and how long it lasts. Likewise many have web sites, but thyey do not show the latest prices. If like me you are perapatetic you turn up without booking and I grt stroppy when the prices are higher (much higher in some cases)than that shown. Where its possible I vote with my feet.
...Perapatetic lesson"call first"
I don't think that sarcasm is called for.....

Seems to be a trend inCLs.Forget the handbook but raise prices. I wonder how much business these high price Cls get outside the main holiday period? I still stick to the format of £5/6 for basic field. £10/12 for basic plus EHU. and no more than £15 for al singing all dancing ( dont use these). If more of us stuck to a pricing regime that was fair we may see the greedy Cls changing their way. Mind you the CC does not set a good example by their price hikes particularly the basic sites up from £12-50 to £14
Would you like to hazard a guess on how much a greedy CL earns? would love to know how much you think

...I do not think there are many if any cl/cs owners can be classed as greedy, when you consider in this "elf & safety" enviroment we live in, the costs of setting up and annual running costs ,its not just a matter cutting the grass and emptying a couple of dustbins

No and still the tid ar5ed wads won't pay a going rate expecting a great site in a good location for next to nothing and will still expect to pay the same in 10 years time but will probably moan about the price of diesel going up to get them to these sites.

Anyone else see the contradiction here?

I am a CL owner. I am certainly NOT greedy. I do not run the CL for the monetary reward. If it was to be carried out as a proper business the profit margins would be so low it would fail.
Like most CL owners we do it for the many lovely relationships that we make, the company and craic of our lovely custumers and I am humbled that so many allow us to share in the ups and downs of their lives.
We have made fantastic friends and that is 'our reward'...
In addition to this we always try and balance our increasing 'running costs' against 'value for money' .....what more can one ask for!
