the club need to check the pricing. On searching Treamble Valley the from price was totally different to the cheapest cost which was in October for one person and pitch.

Can not you? What then does that symbol signify and the use of the word "clearly"?

Well, the clearly meant, as you are posting on CT you have Internet access. The winky icon was just put to indicate I was stating the obvious.

No other agenda, no intention of denigrating your preference for hard copies.

Buxton £10.05, Castleton £10.25.

The quote in bold is taken from Steve's post above taking about prices from. However to me it illustrates the stupidity of Club pricing. How can two sites, not two far apart and yet in price they are separated by 20p, yes 20p Someone at the Club needs to look at the bigger picture and start dividing sites into less price bands with meaningful differences that way we could have a much narrower selection of price bands.

DK. That's why I pointed up the opposition's simpler approach, it's difficult to understand all the 2p and 3p additions, except a few thousand of these will bring something in but I find it far too convoluted.

Totally agree David. It would make the pricing much clearer if they were banded. Sites like Buxton, Castleton, Clumber falling into one band. Those like York, Baltic Wharf and Chatsworth into another. I don't think there would need to be more than 4 bands and one of those would be the non facility sites. 

However, this would have to go along with less uping and downing throughout the year, due to all the different holiday periods the club has invented.

Been like this for a while DK, stupid little amounts of a few pence that are irritating when calculating an overall price. The pricing structure is a shambles nowadays.  Too many differentials, too many changes on certain dates, too many variations between sites. All designed to claw in a few extra pence.  

I would love to know how prices are determined for each site, and who does it, using what as calculator. Staffing costs and energy costs will be in there without doubt, possibly clawback for any refurbishment, probably historical usage, perhaps wishful thinking in terms of popular on trend destinations.........

An accountants nightmare, I'm surprised this has never been streamlined and coded up to improve the process. It's slightly Dickensian. wink

Even the no facility sites are differently priced. Some are a straight £15, others like Marazion are more. This is probably location based, or might be linked to how much lease of land costs?

I used to tot up prices in handbook and write total in for a stay for us, to compare with CL alternatives at a glance. Can’t do it now, so will assume, and go straight to CLs, unless it’s a Racecourse or AS.

I can understand the CL's and Racecouse sites but the AS sites we have stopped at have all been slightly more expensive than a comparable CAMC site.
