Other companies manage it like eon electricity for example . You apply , send proof from benefit letters , they send you a discount . Lots of companies do it , and the key is sending that government letter as proof . So its not awarded to those who dont need it .
I would suggest that it is slightly different for a company providing an essential service, than the CAMC.

Posted on 13/12/2018 09:32 byIt would be very easy to sort through logistically ! Ie send proof of those who are genuinely struggling financially and therefore receive means tested benefits , to the club head office. It only needs a copy of the government letters we get . Means tested benefits are only awarded to those in genuine financial difficulties, but then you already know that. It is closely regulated !

As none of us are in charge of running this club , ( so glad you pointed that out , i actually thought i was 😂 ) , i suspect our conversation here is an utter waste of time , and for some reason , your attitude is making my heart sink . For that reason i have to inform you that i wont be reading any replies....but type away fella and put your world to right ! Good day 😊. Keep on with your good works , make sure you are kind tho . Its important .

Giza, you know nothing about me and I’m not going to enlighten you in the ways you are wrong about me but you are way off the mark as I intimated earlier. Your heart has no need to sink in regard to my realistic attitude for that is what it is.
You are entirely missing the points I have been making and I’m not going to bother struggling to make them again.
Oh, yes, you’ll read it. Have a good day, ‘Fella’. 👍🏻

The CC is not subject to government control. Energy providers are and WHD is a government initiative.
The WHD scheme has three different elements: the Core Group, Broader Group and Industry Initiatives. BEIS coordinates the Core Group, while we administer the Broader Group and Industry Initiatives.
Energy suppliers with over 250,000 domestic customers are required to participate in each element of the scheme. Voluntary suppliers meanwhile only take part in the Core Group.

Quite so, Steve. Aren’t energy companies bound by law to give such discounts?
The thought of staff time spent administering such a scheme in our club is mind blowing. Do you recall a while ago we had an ex-serviceman asking for a discount in view of his former occupation? Where would it end? Oh, yes, with increased fees all round which would be self defeating.
Edit: Thanks for the explanation, Easy. We cross posted.

I just noticed when looking at a site page the price from is now for a standard pitch and one adult, rather than the previous two. Was this introduced at the same time as the second price rise, to remove its impact? Or have I just missed the change?
Apart from trying to make the sites look less expensive, it seems a strange thing to do, as for the bulk of the year outfits with two adults seem to predominate.

Booked into Southport yesterday and I asked the staff member on reception if she could tell from the system when a booking had been made. She said that she could tell if made before or after 5th December as there was a marke5r showing 'on screen' for bookings made before 5th December

Yes I also noticed that this morning. The "price from" banner in my view, is not much use really, as all it does is highlight any sites cheapest price at it's cheapest time of year whereas what you need is to know what the price is at the time of year which you plan to visit. I always look at the price menu and work it out for the actual specific date required, I don't imagine I am alone.
