Just received a mail from the club detailing almost every uk site having availability in august.

in 40yrs of membership i have never seen this level of empty pitches

so i looked at booking 9 nights and was amazed that some days had low availability and therefore were £5 a night dearer than the next night, in all 4 different prices

how do they expect members to take up empty pitches when they are charging more than the normal nightly rate, they should be reducing the prices if they want sites full.

With the way the weather has been for the last month I am glad that we haven't got anything booked at all. I cant say I find camping of any sort pleasant in the wet.

 TG, the weather has not been so bad over the last collector weeks, at least where we have been, perhaps we are just fortunate.😁 We, like you, do not consider club sites and some CLs too VFM and have used alternatives that fit in with our site budget. Been away for over 200 nights a year there is no way we could afford to use club sites even  if we wanted to. And before anyone comes back and suggests that we could cut down on the number of nights away, that is not what we intend doing, at least for a while yet.
