Steamer Quay refurb removal of non EHU pitches

draconian appears to be the word of the day, however according to my ex head of English it can only be applied to a set of rules or laws. However if the rule or law is optional, as is the case with joining or using the club, then it cannot be really draconian.

As always the club is what it is, the only option 'we' have to buy or not, but it looks as if many, (how many hundreds of thousands of booking did the club said have been made since despoists?)  are making that choice in their bookings. Prices and sites can't be that bad I would say based on that?

...and added to the 'difference' (a number the club can come up with) between the current non EHU pitches and their typical HS pitch. Can't check on SQ at the moment as no prices showing.

I think SP are £4.90 (or so) more than, presumably, a normal HS.

Where would this leave an updated SQ serviced pitch?

...has to be at least £10 more than the current non EHU level and with 40 out of 43 pitches currently grass, no doubt there'll be a hike for that...possibly £12-£15 more? (Draconian?)

considering the location, town easily walkable, I imagine they'll be set similarly to places like Broadway, which is currently £52.20 for a summertime SP....ouch!

are you saying it won't be well used then?

Who knows, first the Club has to get planning permission until then no one knows what the site layout will be like and how pitches will be equipped. If they are all to be all hardstanding serviced pitches then for sure the price is going to be much higher than in 2022. My guess is the majority users will be caravans especially in the summer months.

Well based on my experience these types of sites are always extremely popular. And again I can't see why MHs won't be in there. At my last couple of SP sites it's been 50% split  on SP and in Melrose (I think you've been there this year?) which sounds from how people have described the area the same, it was 80% MHs over four days, and weekdays too in there.
