Posted on 25/12/2018 00:03 by DavidKlyneIts nothing to do with semantics and all to do with the facts. The facts are that all pricing information is available on the Club website, nothing is hidden so no one is being ripped off.

I wonder how many use the phone for booking these days. We did the other day, as we were booking for that night on route. Otherwise I would use the internet, as I suspect would the majority. When you put your party size and dates in you get a price, which you either accept or decline. There is no pressure to buy. Unlike some other sites, thinking particularly of booking a ferry, it is quick to do. I honestly can't see the point of detailed prices in a 2 year handbook, when prices are being updated yearly, or even more frequently.

Quoting a one person and pitch fee is really a waste of time as the numbers of members it apples is probably minimal .
A much more honest pricing system would be to show the price for 2 adults and pitch quoting from ’X’ to ‘Y’ The “from” price being the lowest possible and the “to”price being the highest possible.

I wonder how far away we are from having no paper site directory? OK probably not in the next couple of years but within five years I am sure it will be being discussed. Perhaps initially the directory will be on a request only basis before being done away with completely. If or when that happens we will have no choice to use online.

Posted on 25/12/2018 00:00 by DavidKlyneWould I be right in thinking that when you book a site you do so online? If that is the case all the pricing information is there to see. The problem with the Site Directory is that it covers a two year period so the prices will be out of date anyway halfway through the life of the directory anyway if not before if there are further interim increases as there have been this year. There would be a good case for not having any price in the directory. There is also another issue if more prices are included in the directory as it becomes more labour intensive to edit the next directory rather than just changing one price per site.

David it would appear that you think that everyone uses the internet to look at and book site when that is certainly not the case. There are plenty of members who rely on the site directory for price information, opening dates and site directions. The web site is certainly not the be all and end all, as you seem to think that it is!!
