It was never available in May anyway, which in my opinion is one of the best times to go.

MWD was available in May, as we've been there twice at that time and have benefited from it both times.

CL prices are very rarely as per what is in the handbook

Certainly not true, JVB, and they are nowhere as different as the prices on CC sites between one year and the next.

  1. That is not what numerous posts on here have noted even when the current directory came out as cls had not "informed?" EGH of any price alterations, the prices for club sites were as the directory for the first year,

In peak periods there are numerous reasons that pitches seem to become available at short notice not just cancellations,ie damaged pitches/ previos power faults etc

That may well be the case JVB, but the main reason is and always has been cancellations. It will only get worse too with the opening up of the 12 month booking system.

As very regular CL users we find that the price quoted in the SD is much more often than not the price that we are quoted when booking.

It was the use of the phrase "very rarely" that I was questioning.

But there is no proof of that although the site staff on sites that i have the pleasure of knowing will not accept that either,, faults and damaged pitches  when repaired are far more likely to be the reasons for pitches to become available at short notice,it does not show so much when sites are less busy at weekends

I am happy to accept that as being the case, as it makes more sense. However, it's not what the 2017 / 2018 directory says. 

Yet another example of lack of proof reading.☹️

I would be interested to know what you consider low season / what sites you are looking at, as even Chatsworth (a honey pot) is only £22.30 from January to mid March.

Posted on 23/12/2018 21:44

Only £22.30, surprised I don't pay that even in June, certainly wouldn't pay that in winter. 

The sites are getting way to expensive, as others have said thank goodness for the CL network.

It was available in 2017 but they ditched it for 2018, looking at my copy of the SD.
