Reported your post Dawn. I doubt that anyone from HO will bother to explain the situation as they see it.

Seems to me the club are determined to recoup the lost revenue during the pandemic

The fact most of us continued to pay our yearly membership even when the sites were closed has meant nothing to the club

The other club extended the membership last year to say thanks but CMC nothing

This year all sites seem to have had dramatic price increases.  We were booked on Moreton in Marsh over Easter but having just returned today from a weekend I refuse to pay £38.00 per night for a standard pitch with two adults, 

The work they have done on site is very sub standard, yes they have improved some pitches but mostly to convert them to serviced pitches which they then charge more for.  The roads around the site are still very poor and flood easily.  Part of the site was very much a building site but they still sold pitches so people were arriving Friday with no option but to pitch in the area, then they have closed the toilet block so if you are that side come tonight you have to walk to the other end of the site to use the facilities.  

I think this is very poor planning from the club and surely a business as big as they are should be able to organise site improvements in a better way.

I have now booked a private site with equal amenities but at £25.00 per night so over four nights a saving of £52.00, enough to pay for another trip out

I do hope we'll get a response B2, it seems that the details haven't been updated and need attention. Either way it would be good to know what is open on the site and what isn't?!

It’s another symptom of what’s becoming a poorly run business from the point of view of Members, and I suspect ratching up the stress quotas for those working at the sharp end such as Site staff and those answering  the phones.

I wouldn’t be that bothered really, but the crux of the matter is that we pay for Membership, and at the moment, HQ are not delivering and managing to expectations in a number of ways.
