Looks like we need to book before 5 December to avoid price increases.

We have just got the email about price increases from Dec 5th. Makes our choice to cancel Club Site booking and take a cottage instead an even better decision!

I wouldn’t half like to be a fly on the wall at some of the Club marketing meetings and decision making. That’s earlier price increases to add onto early closing of a few sites this year, the picture is starting to look as though some belt tightening is going on. Which means less choice and more expense for members. 

As the Club has some sites on a lease basis, I wonder if this is having an impact at all?

Anyone know what the actual price rises are, or have I missed something? Nothing added to What's On/News either.

What???

We use the book to choose and price, what happens if you have limited or no Wi-Fi or 4g when away? This general assuming that everyone has access to internet is appalling if you're printing a directory it needs to be comprehensive! Is that because price structure is now so complex it needs too much room in print?

If the site prices are available via a download or from a booklet that is available with a call to EGH each year (in Jan i think) then the sites directory will not become out of date for prices,?surprised

they say it's because of utilities etc going up. Have they ever heard of switching, I pay less now than 5 years ago for my gas and elec and water since meter fitted is half the price. I think they need to do some renegotiating with there suppliers.

JVB, on page 14 of the latest magazine, there are details about the new sites directory out in January. There is an example of the Minehead page and a start price is clearly visible.

But that is the only price a "from" price for a pitch and one adult at the cheapest band no other prices,wink

JVB. All site details have a price "from" as a lead in for each adult and a pitch. The club indicates that this will help those seeking to compare prices, no doubt there will be the usual "fixed" prices too. It also says that members without internet access can ask for a paper price list. So in some ways this saves on the problems of prices going out of date but still shows a range of potential prices.

Strangely the web site gives "price from" details for two members plus a pitch and the directory is for one member. If only the club employed joined up thinking..wink
