Email regarding price increases

"The answer of course (as amply demonstrated by their more ardent supporters on here) is that they know they can take you for mugs. And that is exactly what they do."

I can't see how it can be fair to describe things that way actually, because folk who continue to use club sites, in spite of these increases, presumably are aware of them and make a conscious decision to accept them. Good to know, though, that like us in our final few years of membership, you've discovered the joys and benefits of using CLs, Ian

We are shortly off to take a couple of cottage breaks, booked and paid for way in advance of anything demanded by the club. Haven't been informed yet of any late increases but if there are any we will pay them because we've arranged to be free for those weeks and they are where we want to be - don't think that makes us mugs does it?

I quite agree in the days of real business that would have been the norm but it very rarely applies in todays climate when it comes to dealing with modern day accounting  policies

...because they honour the agreement made at the time of booking - another thing CAMC should think about.

I really can't see how the club isn't honouring the agreement, in short when one books the price is indeed displayed (or indiacted) and before a booking can be made one has to tick that the T&Cs have been read. 

If you open the T&C is states quite clearly:

By making a booking, the first named person on the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that:

he/she has read these Booking Conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them

Later on in these T&Cs:

Indicative prices are subject to change at our sole discretion. In the event that indicative prices change, the new published prices will apply to new bookings made and the old published prices will not apply to new bookings

and further on:

From time to time, we may need to make changes to the indicative prices. In such circumstances, the following may apply: (a) where the revised indicative price is less than the indicative price stated in the booking confirmation, we may charge the lower amount; (b) if the revised indicative price is higher than the indicative price stated in the booking confirmation, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this change and provide you the option of continuing your booking at the revised indicative price or cancelling your booking (if we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the booking process, we will treat the booking as cancelled and notify you in writing); or c) where the revised indicative price is higher or less than the price stated at the time of booking we may leave your booking unchanged. 

Has all this happened? I would say yes so I'd say the club is honouring it's agreement to the letter.

There is the same sort of clause in my package holiday T&Cs

Of course if that extra £2.70 a day maximum (about the cost of the a Costa coffee) is considered too much then anyone can freely cancel and as it's meant for bookings in the year ahead no deposit has been lost.

Post edit, I've just checked and there are no costa coffees for £2.70!

But I wonder how long the CL has held it's price for prior to this recent rise? I would guess that it has not increased it's fees above the level of inflation year on year.

Corners I've copied a part of your post. The club hasn't done anything yet. It has indicated that prices are rising, whether every CAMC member has received this information remains unknown. The new prices are due to appear on April 5th, until then none of us know any further details. See the original post from Jill.

I can categorically state that every CAMC member has NOT received information regarding the price increase.
