Anybody received this yet?

"We look forward to welcoming you shortly on our UK Club campsites.


Ahead of your arrival, we wanted to give you advance notice that we’ll be making a small increase to our UK Club campsite prices for stays between 5 April 2022 and 3 January 2023 inclusive.


The unfortunate and sad events which have engulfed the world in recent weeks have meant worldwide electricity costs have increased exponentially. In fact the Club's electricity costs are forecast to increase by an unprecedented amount of around 50% this year.


The fairest way for the Club to manage the rising cost of energy required to run our UK Club campsites is for all members to pay a little bit extra when staying with us this year. This small price increase will support the Club in the face of the rising cost of energy and also help ensure that we can continue to reinvest in improving the UK Club campsite network.


What this means for you:


The increase will be between 70p and £2.50 per night depending on the season and the campsite you are planning to stay on. These calculations are based on a standard touring pitch and two adults.
From 5 April 2022 you’ll be able to see the exact new price you’ll pay by logging into ‘My profile’ and clicking on the ‘My UK Sites Bookings’ section.


There’s no need for you to do anything, on arrival at the campsite you will be charged the appropriate amount.


We appreciate this price increase will not be welcomed, however we would like to share that members have saved over £12.5 million on stays at our UK Club campsite network since July 2020, as the Club passed on the full Government VAT rate saving to members.


We need your support to ensure our wonderful Club can continue to operate all of our amazing campsites at the same high standards during the busy summer season and into the winter, when we expect utility costs to rise further.


What can you do to help:


Below are a few hints and tips to help reduce the cost of electricity usage when you are staying on one of our campsites.


If you have a solar unit on your outfit please use it as much as possible
Make sure indoor and outside lights, any heating appliances and electrical equipment are all turned off when you go out for the day and overnight
We want members to enjoy many holidays with the Club this year, so thank you for your continued loyalty and support, and we wish you an enjoyable 2022 season of touring.


Best wishes
The Caravan and Motorhome Club"

Just for clarification, I'm not averse to trees in their totality merely a preference for a site that doesn't have an Amazonian forest canopy.

We are constantly amazed when talking to some neighbours on Sites (not just Club I hasten to add) about how many aspects of the natural World cause issues for some. Trees, birds, grass, sheep, cows, rural smells, rural noises, then there are those pesky church bells, a stiff sea breeze, cockerels crowing, rooks cawing, etc, etc……….

Funniest repeat performance whilst staying on a Cornish Site? Every evening, a diligent neighbour emerged with brush and pan in hand, and proceeded to sweep and hand pick all the rabbit droppings around his patch of paradise. Not in itself that amusing, however, the return of the bunnies some five minutes after certainly gave us a chuckle before bed time.

Some of the goings on to be witnessed occasionally, are priceless🤣Club Sites are a rich source it has to be said. 😁

Sorry - post edited by me in view of Rowena's comment which appeared after I had started to write. I was reacting to the comment about those who have aversions to natural world. But I accept it was off-topic so I had better withdraw it.

Just looking at Fairoaks and it is over £80 for 2 nights for 2 people now!  That is quite a rise.

Playing Devil's Advocate (I'm neither a member or a caravanner these days before anyone points that out! wink), that's not until the schools break up on Friday is it and I bet you can't find anywhere else in the Chester area for 20 quid a head next week!

Just checked my booking for next week at Uttoxeter, the increase is approx 6%.

Adult price up from £7.50 to £8

Pitch price up from £8.70 to £9.20

The site info page doesn't yet seem to reflect these increases?
