Electric Hook up

Yes there may be a reduction in consumption of 30% (though I can't see how this is arrived at?) but the club is not saving £1.8 million (or what it really is of course) at all as this 'savingl' is paid by those using the pitches and paying for that electricity?

Personally i think it's quite easy to understand their thinking, apart from what I and others have written before that the club will overestimate the usage and probably make some profit by doing it the way it is now, but more importantly the trial may show that people don't want metering, you might like it yet plenty of others may not. Additionally if only the club goes to metering and other non club sites don't where will people go? It could lead to a loss of income as people choose inclusive prices especially in winter. Is the CCC doing similar trials? As I've said before It's not done in hotels or holiday lets? If those who actually use club sites don't prefer it then surely the club should follow that?

At the moment there is a choice, for those like you that prefer metering go to those sites and non club sites that have metering but there's not that many as I see it from posts on CT, but many of the comparable large non club sites don't have it do they? As alway I go back to there are cheaper and better quality sites out there some with metering so why use club sites?

+1 and how have they (the club) realised this?

The Club in their mag.

Actually I think a better option to metering is to allow ehu or no ehu, as the club is doing in some places. From something I read, maybe on this forum, if you don’t want the hook up they block the bollard. Obviously it depends on pitch price reduction but I think that would be a very popular option for late spring to early autumn. It’s what we do on CCC sites. I can’t remember the price differential, however.

As (YT? ) said up thread, the Club ought to re calculate pitch prices from the bottom up, without ehu, and then see what the electric element really is.

It could lead to a loss of income as people choose inclusive prices especially in winter.

Possibly, but note some people didn't even bother hooking up when staying at WC. It may be as oft complained about on here they will go elsewhere when there is no choice and the price is too high. There will be risks either way. but for the savings the Club will make it may be one the Club is willing to take especially as sustainability is the watch word of the day.

Really? It can only be surmised at this stage, surely, so perhaps you can elaborate for the benefit of those of us who don’t see the mag. Also, as Corners said, if pitches are metered, there will be no monetary saving for camc.

I suspect that will not result in as much saving as meters and if that turns out to be allowed, did the Club really need to introduce inclusive pricing in the first place?

No, further elaboration is not necessary.

I disagree! However, I won’t press you when you’re clearly unwilling to back up your comments with a quote or explanation 😕. It means, of course, that I cannot accept your comment as fact.

Not a problem TW, it is something I have got quite used to on this forum.
