Email regarding price increases

Don’t know about 20 zones, but cruising at 60 / 64 uses significantly less than tearing along at 70 mph. Plus our MH would be in 6th gear at either speed.  I’m sure pushing all that air aside as speed increases comes into the equation somewhere.🤔

I'm in France now but have been in Spain for six weeks...on a site with metered electric (€0.40 per kWh).

total electric bill was €25 and I also used two full Repsol gas bottles at €22 each. So total fuel cost of €69. On site for 42 days so €1.64 a day.

this included OH using hairdryer, use of electric kettle, all cooking and occasional heating and electric blankets (it's been cold at times...).

im happy to use my own fuel and equipment but not if the club won't allow me a sensible discount for doing so...not only that, they want to charge me more AND ask me to 'do my bit'.

when you use your own services you tend to become more thrifty, and we (as a now natural habit) use far less water than most, we also turn off any lights when not directly using them etc...

perhaps service costs overall would come down if less resources were used?

perhaps if there were sufficient overall reduction, some of this proposed (imminent) increase could be avoided..

as it is, the club have a blooming cheek asking folk to be careful with resources yet at the same time tell them they will be charged the increase whether they adopt that thrift or not...

time for a rethink CAMC.

The CMC heavily reliant on  LPG gas to heat it toilet/shower blocks, the price of LPG gas has gone through the roof

 As has probably most of the heat!   Or at least out the rows of open toilet windows.

Windows open due to Covid precautions at the moment. Maybe CAMC should try the C&Cc method and operate without heating and with press button showers? There are ways to make the experience less pleasant. 

Is this price increase exclusively for this club.?
people plan ahead for holidays they budget for what they can afford.

If you have planned your holiday budget and have already booked it’s not ideal to have a price increase.

I am also a member of The Caravan and camping club and as far as I am aware they have no price increase 

I agree a price increase for new bookings but not if you have planned and booked already.😭😭😭😭

The Club has previous form for upping its prices from those originally given. It happened two years in a row in the past. Bookings made at the old price (the first given) were honoured though, as we had booked for an event six months into a new year, and got the old price in the September when we arrived on Site, the staff knew all about it, and it was quickly re calculated for us. Not sure if this is the case this time around, not that clear from Email. Substantially greater increase as well.

Is this price increase exclusively for this club.?

If the C&CC increase their prices it will not be so visible because they operate a bit like the airlines, prices vary according to demand.

A commercial site I use regularly (2/3 times a year) which opened on the 1st March has not so far increased its prices. However a CL I use has but I was advised at the time of booking what the new price would be.

I don't see many sites not taking the opportunity to raise prices. With the rise in energy costs, most of us expect it.

peedee

As the email says important changes to your upcoming booking and that you will be to view the change to prices in my bookings from 5th April, I think it applies to  all existing and any future bookings.

The e-mail does say " for stays between 5 April 2022 and 3 January 2023 inclusive." So presumably that means all bookings
