But it is the location that matters not the site.

Yes but then second comes the choice of site.

And certainly for me that would depend on the standard of the site, not that it was acceptable in the manner I use the word as above.

To do what you are doing, dividing your subscription by only the nights used is just not logical and doesn't make sense - IMHO of course. You pay £54 whether you use any nights or not.

Just had one night away? Your CL cost is £13.45 + £54/1 = £67.45, would one really think that way?

It makes sense to me when comparing the cost of Club nights with commercial offerings. If I was only staying 1 niight on a Club site the membership would certainly not be worthwhile.

Well you should look at how much your membership is saving then?

But really if you're happy analysing each trip away to the last penny like you do, carry on, who am I to say otherwise but for me life is too short to worry about such things.

I choose a location and site and just enjoy.

The standard, ambience of a site, only concerns me for longer stays.

Agreed but your whole hypothesis is based around the choice between two, or more, sites. Therefore, those sites both need to be in the location of choice for your 'acceptable' vs £30 choice to come into play. 

Obviously, if only one of them is in the desired location, the other won't come into the equation.

Perfectly happy when spreadsheets make it so easy to keep records and do all the work otherwise probably not.

so where did you get £2.08?

 I used the cost of Club subscriptions proportioned over all types of Club sites used. (£52 divided by a total of 25 nights)  To proportion the subscription gives the true per night cost.

How much of the club subscription do you count against pitch  prices when the monthly magazine is includedsurprised

Nearly all our stays on sites are 5 nights and move. As far as choice of site goes you makes your choice, pay your money.

Well, for me the club magazine arrived today and, as usual, I cut address off and recycled between the gate and entering the back door and so that holds no value for me. More convenient with the paper envelope though.
