Moderator Comment: Partly removed to avoid political comments

Is it time for our "Club" to implement a significant reduction in fee's to create a breakeven  Budget Sheet for this and the next financial year. This isn't the time to add to the coffers and any approved and budgeted projects could still continue. If the reduction was significant then more members could utilise sites and see a benefit to their lifestyle and well-being. We all played our part in renewing membership during the pandemic and now is pay back time ?

I guess you didn’t see the first bit, Gray😀

No, TW, I did see it. It was political, of course, but I don't give an opinion about its veracity.  

My point was only to reflect my amusement at obbermockle's reaction, which, with or without the censored comments, made me laugh out loud; it struck me as somewhat OTT!

Why are you responding to me? Did you intend that this was a response to Tinwheeler?

Hi

I responded to you to explain without repeating my opening statements the background to the post,I did this under the misapprehension that you had not seen the full version, but I now see that you had. 

Apologies for any confusion I may have inadvertently caused.

Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity. while I am all for responsible capitalism The Club isn’t a charity.

A degree of profit is good, especially if philanthropically used. Sadly, I fear the World is very sadly short on philanthropy at the moment. Applies to relatively small companies, as well as the obscene profits being raked in by such as the big energy companies. With wealth comes responsibility and a need for fairness. Otherwise only those that can afford, can partake. Everyone else falls by the wayside….. or fails to survive🤷‍♀️

Change is going to be coming soon. Every Member will be analysed, and penetrated in terms of value to Club, what outfits we use, what products and services we use…….https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/about-us/work-for-us/head-office/vacancies/commercial-analyst-support/

I can safely say, we are worth diddledy squat, not worth the effort in terms of Club spend🤣🤣

It’ll be back to referrals for Membership soon, “does this applicant warrant becoming a Member ie will they spend enough to ensure Club coffers are well lined?” Please provide two references…….😎

I’m happy to say I understood little of that because English is my first language.

"….this new position will particularly support the creation of a new improved ‘membership lifetime value model’ which will enable the Club to better serve its members and develop a better proposition."

Really?

Can you imagine the fun if we were allocated a marketing officer to analyse us personally🤣🤣🤣 Something tells me the TDA’s would not be first pick!

🤔But then…….some folks do like a challenge🤣🤣🤣 

I’m particularly drawn to the bit around what type of outfits Members use. I can imagine that having folks fluffing their feathers and wondering what is happening………..😲☹️😁🤩😡
