Pricing in the directory and online

Then they need to get the pricing leaflet. Yes it should be sent out with the sites book and map.

A call to EGH will get a hard copy sent to your address with next years prices the same as it it has been for the 2018 prices,that were not in the directory

I'm sorry Nellie but I fear you are part of a decreasing minority. However, I feel the club cater fairly for this minority, as it states clearly in the pricing section of the handbook that a copy of the pricing can be requested, and will then be sent out. Personally I think it would be very wasteful to send it to everyone, as the majority will not require it. 

For myself, I have saved a copy of the PDF to iBooks, this is then available to use offline if required.

Its interesting to see how others plan their trips...... book v. internet etc.

Sites for all our trips away are done in advance on a PC at home. We pick an area or region, then choose sites from all providers within that area to pick the most suitable sites for us depending on facilities, price,reviews and location..

The club maps live in the van but I can't remember ever using either of them, and the only time we ever look at either handbook ( also in the van ) is for the last leg of the journey if we happen to be going to a club site.

We work a little like you Justus. We plan a route at home. Our route typically covers 600 miles and for planning I use the CC map as a base. The map stays at home and the Sites Book is to hand for final approach. CC bookings are done on line as are any C&CC bookings. Commercials are usually by phone.

Whilst I accept that a few might not use the internet they will be outnumbered many,many times by those that do. I think we also have to accept that the future will be the internet for such things not paper books. As far as inclusion of full price information in the sites directory would be complete folly to me as it could be out of date in six months. Better that people that require that off line pricing information send for the separate pricing information booklet and not have any pricing in the directory. I appreciate that you spend a lot more time away in your caravan than many of us,  so access to the internet will not always be available but unfortunately in life things are designed for the benefit of the many and it becomes more difficult to satisfy the few that want to stay with more traditional ways of doing things.

unfortunately in life things are designed for the benefit of the many and it becomes more difficult to satisfy the few that want to stay with more traditional ways of doing things.

It depends how large a minority the 'few' are David.

I suspect it’s not only those who ‘want’ to stay with more traditional ways but, by necessity, some do not always have an alternative. 

The mobile data network in this country has improved tremendously in recent years but there are still rural black spots where it is impossible to get a 3G/4G signal. People touring and deciding only a couple of days ahead on their next destination can be severely hindered by having neither full paper records, nor an internet connection. 

Publish the prices separately if it makes sense to do so but please send every member a copy as a matter of course. 

Btw, I’ve not yet received my sites directory.

There have been several threads about waste lately TW. Personally I feel sending these out to every member would be a complete waste of resources, as many would never be used. I am quite happy with the electronic copy, which is available to download and therefore used offline. 

Perhaps an opt in could be added to the profile, they would then only be sent to those who want them.

Edit. Just to add it could require sending out two a year, if we keep getting these top up price corrections in future. So even more reason to only send out to those that require them.

Brilliantly said BVM,

Prices should be in the book, so all can see what they are about to pay for, why try to hide it?.

Members ignored again.

After 18 years membership, we will be reviewing the situation in 2019.
