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

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 So in some ways this saves on the problems of prices going out of date but still shows a range of potential prices.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

But that is not the "cheapest headline" as yet on the Tinternet but we shall see,wink

I believe the polite term for such interesting communication is “ a right bloody shambles....”

But are the two different? If they are showing the same price then it could well be another way to disguise a extra increase.

I won't be booking soon! I don't use Club sites enough to be bothered about increases and I will always look at the alternatives in any area. It will be interesting to compare commercial increases with those of the Club

I note some of the increase is based on increased energy and utility costs and in particular a 25 percent rise in electricity costs! Surely this cannot be due to the supply company? My household cost have not increased by that much and the government is capping costs so is it down to increased consumption? If so it really is time the Club got to grips with controlling use.

While it is an inclusive cost rather than pay for what you use it will never be under control.

Where have you read of a 25% increase in the cost of electricity, PD?  Can you supply a link, please?

Doesn’t the capping of costs only apply to domestic users?

It was a link provided by the Club in their email which led me >here<. Even if it only applies to domestic rates, commercial rates have on average only increased 9.8. percent between Sept 2017 and Sept 2018.

Looks to me as its down to excessive consumption

Thanks. I couldn’t see a link in the email but see it’s in FAQs.

I note that it’s a 25% increase in costs of electricity, rather than usage. It is hoped the club is on the ball in negotiating the best deals.

Cost can also refer to increased consumption and given the Government is saying the average increase in commercial rates is 9.8 percent, a 25 percent rise in site electrictiy costs has to be down to consumption.
