i think it now time for the club to start offering free wifi we need to start trying to atract younger people to the club and they expect this as standard even if you pay for there wifi your only allowed one device even my local greasy spoon offers free wifi so come on club get with the times

I generally find the paid WiFi OK. However, I think that is probably because the charge puts off a lot using it. If it was included in the price "free" and made multi device I doubt this would be the case. Therefore my vote is to keep the charge and for those that want access to pay.

My view as well Steve. For me the wifi is generally fine. Like you, I suspect that if it was free it would be less useful. I find that for us the wifi makes economic sense. Not for everyone though

Free wi fi generally is not free but is paid for by an extra charge hidden in the fees paid. What we have now is a paid for service for those who want it and a slightly cheaper pitch fee for those who use there own provider or do not need it. Setting up this in remote areas where many sites are can cost upwards of £40,000 and fees are high enough as they are.

younger members are more likely to tether than use an unsecure low speed expensive wi-fi. the club should concentrate on sites with no mobile signal.

Thanks for publishing the précis of your, no doubt detailed and exhaustive, survey. 

I note however that said younger folk are happy to use free public wifi and so I presume this may be simply an economic issue?

I think if  that were possible, without high cost it has already been looked at wink

ok, should have said in my opinion. does not change the fact that public wifi (paid for or free) is not secure and you should never shop online or do banking or even use social media. mobile data is far more secure, faster, and more versatile.

But security has no bearing on whether the club should cease charging separately for its Wi-fi.
