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

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.

Not necessarily, PD, and I think we would be urged to reduce consumption if that was the case. 

Whatever, it’s not going to bother you personally as you don’t use club sites much. I think that’s the option for us all - pay up or don’t use club sites.

Is that not the case already? Doesn't seem to be doing much good. With site increased winter use and a reduction of use in peak season (from the AGM minutes) consumption is only going to increase and force prices up.

I think I am right in saying that in the past the Club have just increased site prices with little in the way of explanation. This year, maybe because of the change in the booking system, they have tried to be a bit more transparent about it. Good to see that on 23 sites prices will not increase and some of those 23 are pretty popular. I have been critical of the Club in the past for not being very good at member communication but now they are making an effort they seem to be dammed if they do and dammed if they don't!!!

The club said  “… for example electricity costs have risen by over 25%”.  “Electricity costs” does not necessarily refer only to consumption as it can mean the price per unit and also the costs of installation, maintenance and testing.

That’s what I was suggesting when I said the increase did not necessarily reflect increased consumption. 

Still, let’s not be doom mongers, eh? On the positive side, there are EHU-free CLs, the other club and thousands of other choices if you don’t want to pay for lekky. Alternatively, some can continue to give Rocky and me the giggles. 👍🏻🤣

The only reduction in use of sites i noted was the estimated loss of pitch nights caused by site closures when being upgraded

Yes it is good to get more but perhaps there wasn't enough explanation David.

I am sure there are some of us that thrive on detail but I suspect we are considerably outnumbered by those that just want the minimum and I suspect it is those members that the Club are addressing?

While some of us just accept it for what it is on the basis of knowing alternatives exist and the choice is all ours.😀
