10% OFF Autumn Getaways

Won't be using it Ro as we can't stop 3 or 4 nights minimum.

I suspect quite a few members with M/homes or Campervans will also find the minimum period for qualifying off-putting. If the club is suffering from a lack of "bums on seats" then they should be more dynamic in their basic day-to-day prices.

This offer will suit some members but its not an inclusive one.

As far as I know there is no rule preventing motorcaravaners from staying more than three/four nights on a site. That is surely a personal choice. So how is this latest offer unfair to non caravaners. I will certainly take up this offer

It’s a minimum stay, not a maximum.

I think WN means it’s unfair because a lot of motorhomers have no wish to stay as long as 3-4 nights.

I have a question a little off the subject of the post.

Is Rowena the only employee of the club, as any announcements seem to come via her. 

Rowena is the designated Community Manager for CT. You occasionally get some interaction with Maddie on the C.L. section, particularly when updating us on new and leaving C.Ls each month.

TW explains my "not inclusive" comment perfectly.

As with other offers, IMHO, somewhat restrictive. Minimum stay is 3 or 4 nights, depending on site. Not available on every site, only on 50.

Booking at least 14 days in advance?? What happened to spontaneity when touring? 

No doubt it will appeal to some people, but when you are not in a position to book at least 14 days in advance, for whatever reason, it's no use. Can't understand that, why not apply the discount without that condition, again IMHO that would benefit more people.

I am not sure the stay requirements are unreasonable. Even the free night earlier in the year was dependant on you staying 3 nights. Pointless me complaining to Waitrose that I only want 5 bottles of wine when the T&C's say I have to buy 6 to get a 25% discount?

It's an offer, and like all offers,  it benefits the club not anyone personally. We can't know the reasons but I suspect it's aimed at a certain purpose, to get more people staying longer perhaps. If the fits in with your plans then use them and if not don't. 

As for not being inclusive I just can't see that. Firstly, no matter what some say about MHs I see some staying just as long or longer than caravans. Secondly it's bit like saying Sainsburys is not inclusive as there are offers on wine but I don't drink wine.

but I suspect it's aimed at a certain purpose, to get more people staying longer perhaps

Just to quote myself, and I should add at certain sites at certain dates, obviously ones that are picked for a reason.

There's no point in offers on the other sites that are doing well in whatever respect, that will just lead to a loss of income at those sites?

And I could say this offer is not inclusive to me as I can't use it at a weekend as for many others whatever the outfit, is it non inclusive for those that work full time and only get two consultative days off? To me the answer is no.

Agree with WN. Why are the Club offering such discriminatory offers. Anyone who is caring for others, and might only be able to manage at most a couple of nights is totally missing out, regardless of what kind of outfit they use. Nearly all the Club’s offers are coming with a minimum night stay policy now, and frankly, it stinks😡

Its another symptom of how removed some decision makers are from the Membership they serve. I’m pleased for the folks that can benefit, but there are thousands out there, like us, like some of our friends, who cannot. Why this minimum has to be applied I don’t know, surely it’s all about filling pitches, no matter how🤷‍♀️
