Email regarding price increases

I meant have the option to have EHU or not on the same pitch.

That is how it used to be until 2004. When it was change to be inclusive, the Club, amid all the complaints the Club, said it would not be legal to do so under the new law about third party charges for electriicity. I cannot see them saying they can now do so?????

peedee

So the Club has done nothing to lobby for a change in the regulations for 18 years.  Time they got off the back side and did something about it.  Perhaps (or more likely probably) they do not want people to see from the difference what they have been charging per pitch.  

It is perfectly legal to levy a flat fee for "use of the bollard" which is what C&CC does. What they cannot legally do is to resell metered electricity unless they have a secondary supplier agreement in place.

I have noticed over the last year how much the club has put prices up so this is no suprise

I think it is very poor customer service to not communicate it better

Surely if you choose to try to follow some of the cost saving options then a price reduction should be offered?  If we could have an option to not use the EHU on a pitch for a reduced rate this might help some

Also I agree how can the club justify varying price increases, the costing for each site is complicated enough

We are booked to go to Uttoxeter this weekend, first time visit and I have noticed some pitches have the standard 16amp EHU but some only have 10amp EHU no mention of reduced price for the lower ones and no option to pre book either.  This will not bother us but I can imagine if you are a family and staying on site for a week or longer the lower rate may cause you an issue.

Just seems one more thing the club have not really put much thought into

They have taken lots of new members on over the last couple of years so must have increased the revenue from membership, whilst I know prices are increasing for everyone for everything we buy at the moment I think we deserve better from suppliers who have enjoyed big profits over the years 

Still nothing on the club pages about this. Just had a glance at York Beechwood for period covering the changes.

Only thing that MAY have changed is it says view details and price guide. Link leads you to price the usual table. I cannot tell if the prices quoted there are correct.......

As we're without touring facilities at present I won't be booking, I'm just curious.......

I noticed that on another forum someone suggested £5 million to convert the whole network.

Also a lot of people think that these price prices from April are due to rising power usage but it's not being done retrospectively is it? These price rises are not based on the increasing usage last year are they? That would have been taen into account on setting prices this year?

I am pretty confident that the club knows quite well what it's electricity costs are, certainly globally and even by site. I also think that they know what was used in previous years and can project what will be used this coming year from April and they based their prices on that. But as stated in the email:

In fact the Club's electricity costs are forecast to increase by an unprecedented amount of around 50% this year. 

So no matter how much they thought it was going to cost it's gone up by 50% so of course that has to be passed on to keep the club viable I would think? 

People are appear to be posting that everyone else uses more than they do, that somehow they are below average (really the mean average) and the they are paying for the above average users. (Not true of course as you are simply paying the asking price as Steve said) But no one really knows what the average is or, even more importantly when looking at averages, how consistent the data is or as it is called  - standard deviation, ie how far out are the highs and lows from the average. With a large sample like the club it might not be as large as one would think. 

One last point, the club need to be competitive, all inclusive (holidays) are very popular (I was booking/looking at some last week abroad and the travel agent it's mostly all they were selling for people like me) and if only the club went metered then people will choose other sites where it isn't. I've looked at a few of the lager sites/chains, and I couldn't spot any metered ones?

As always I believe in choice, if metering is to your liking then go to where you can find it. If club prices are now too high then go where you'll get a better price. 

I think you are incorrect and TW put it better than I could as to why, all the complaints? any evidence for that? No CT then so I'm wondering how you know?

It seems the site staff have only got the same email as some members and do not yet know what add cost for members at this site is going to be yet

I am not aware the C&CC do this. Perhaps you can convince the Club of this which if true why did they feel they needed to make the change when the new ruling came in?

peedee

Me? Nah, I’m not that interested so I’ll leave it to you but it is something that has been quoted on here again and again. Perhaps you’ve forgotten.
