Posted on 28/12/2018 08:32 by brueI've just had a look at the opposition, theirs is just three pages long, clearly marked out in price bands and seasons. CAMC operates a very complicated pricing system that could be streamlined and condensed. The photos might look pretty but they aren't needed at all and they'll use up a lot of printing ink!

Probably cost the Club more to print out as well for all those who cannot possibly manage without a hard copy.
When I am booking with the C&CC I just look at the bottom line!

we a
l know that these lists are quickly out of date, however, irrespective of what the book/PDF says, if you've booked prior to 5th December and your stay is for later than that, the warden will have to fiddle about at the till to ensure you get the price you booked at, as the invoice will be for the latest prices not the ones active when you booked...
the club has known about this (to my mind, serious) issue since the 'book early' cock up on Dec 5th but appears to have done nothing about it....they even released the Dec 19 availability and therefore sailed gaily onward into another year of incorrect prices.
this means we are already stuck with the till 'correction' process upto Dec 4th '19, if they didn't make the correction before those Dec '19 prices mentioned above were released a week or so back, then (unless they find some way of correcting booking historically....) that issue going to be still around until Dec 4th '20....
JVB said recently that he had already made a booking for Jan '20, this will show the correct price today, but (as with last time) the My Bookings page will 'magically' increase the price when they change on Dec 5th '19 and JVB's invoice will show the increased prices meaning the wardens will,then have to do their retrospective adjustment....
this will apply to all bookings right upto dec5th '20 booked prior to Dec 5th '19.
...and if it's not addressed (correctly) before the Dec '20 availability is released, that will be yet another year of revised price lists at the till....upto the end of '21
the club doesn't seem to have grasped the disconnect they now have between a rolling 12 month booking system and a single point annual price change....
perhaps they are happy to have indefinite retrospective till adjustments....?

Congratulations to the wondrous committee who have devised the pricing system for the new sites directory. Where can one find the actual price for any particular site on any particular night for TWO people without going on line or sending away for a pricing guide .Why has the system been altered after being used successfully since my membership began in 1988. Surely pricing should be a relevant feature of a sites directory.
Perhaps it is time for us to move on....

I'm not sure why anyone who has a pad or a phone, and takes them touring, would ever want to print it. If a hard copy is your preferred format, it would be much simpler to request one to be sent. Even if I decided to print it, I would only print the bits where I was touring.
OK admittedly they should have had them available now, not sometime in January, but the implications of not having it until then is likely to affect very few members.

It is a shame the Club don't allow editing of the site price PDF. That way you could cut out all the photos and other information which would considerably reduce the size of the print. If it were possible what I would do is to copy and paste just the price information into a Word document where I could reduce the size a bit more and that would make for an even smaller print.

PS
Did anyone notice that the main photo is the same one as on the front of the site directory but they have edited out the name of the flowers? Obviously someone has been reading Club Together!!!

Posted on 27/12/2018 23:37 by baileyvanmanMM that is the whole point. I've downloaded the price list, all 40 pages of it in full glorious colour, and I'm not inclined to use my paper and ink to print it off when we should be getting a printed version posted to us. I might consider printing it off if it were in a printer friendly form, but not otherwise. After all, out of our £52 a year membership fee I don't think a printed version included with the handbook or magazine for those who want it is going to break the bank.
By the way, I like your Rawtenstall PS2!

But I don't see why you need a paper version if you have it down loaded to a laptop/etc.
The bus was parked up outside the barrier to Burrs Caravan site a few years ago. I think it was ferrying people from/to the East Lancs Railway station in Bury town centre.

Posted on 27/12/2018 23:24 by EmilysDadif you have something down loaded to a laptop/device, why would you need a printed version too? That'd be like printing off each page of a Kindle so you could read it like a book 😉
