50% OFF midweek discounts

Is this the first sign the club is short of bookings ?

The responses on CAMC FB are similar to here, it's like a game, thwarting the customers, I fear more will leave the club if this continues.

50% discount on touring pitch price (excluding tent pitches)

This from the terms and conditions suggests to me the discount will also fully apply to service pitches. Previously although a discount was applied to service pitches, you only received 50% off the standard pitch cost.

Prices go up, people complain.  Prices go down, people complain.

I don’t think folk are objecting to prices going down ET but the restrictive T&C’s. Particularly for the family saving, which requires a paying child (5 and over) to qualify. The only period covered by the applicable dates, not in school time for England, is October half term.

Only 23 sites from the whole of the network!  Poor show.

Maybe this is just another experiment by the Club before spreading it wider?

I've just had a look as I was getting excited. What an absolute con, or to be more precise the selling of a product via dubiously legal language or description. It is not 50% off as the discount refers to part of the goods and not the whole.

How many how many families are able to take children on holidays in term time? The answer taken from memory is quite a lot and many did so as it was cheaper to go in terms time even when taking the 'fine' into consideration. It was quite a problem to keep up the required attendance (if it went below a certain % then it was an Ofsted visit) during the summer term and around the skiing season too I recall.

Of course this was to more expensive holidays abroad usually just a month or so either side of a school holiday and it might not be worth it for a caravan holiday where the costs/savings won't be as great.

However while it is in term time the discount is available all days of the week and can start on any day and only a two night minimum is needed so it will be worth it for families at weekends and Hillhead would be a good saving? 

There was a thread recently where people complained about mid week discount being removed and there are still complaints now it's back on. But as always either use it or not.

But I'm wondering at what the club means by trying watersports at Troutbeck Head Club Campsite unless they mean paddling in the stream there? The nearest watersports are a good few miles away and mainly boating/sailing type. I don't know why they didn't use hiking and walking as a better example?

Sorry had to edit as I got the first bit wrong, the t&cs need some scrutiny here. The old mid-week discount was very different, based on the less popular seasons, it was a useful addition. I don't think encouraging families to take a child out of school is acceptable it's discouraging to read they might think it's ok. 

You mentioned "water sports" at Troutbeck, I noticed spending time on the beach at Hillhead....the beach is a very long distance from the site and requires a stout pair of walking boots too!
