Just looking through the July Magazine and noticed an add on page 13 that says REMEMBER all this is included in your pitch fee,:- Kids go free, haven't got any we are 70 years old :- Dog's go free, haven't got one :- Free hot shower, use my own :- Awnings are free, don't use one :- Free electric hook up, some sites are trialling meter and it's included in pitch fee.:- Free WI-FI, if you can connect. Would it not be better to give senior's a bit of a discount like other club's do. Just found it funny only bit of any use to me is I suppose the hook up. Kevin.

The ad refers to what campers of any age get. It’s not age related as CAMC treats all members equally. I wouldn’t want families who struggle to make ends meet and give their children a holiday to subsidise us old folk. πŸ™

It is your choice not to take advantage of the free 'extras' but you could do if you wantedπŸ‘πŸ»

It’s just a marketing ploy, to make it sound that your getting more for your money , and I would be quite happy to be subsidised ,

I don’t think kids go free everywhere. It was £4.20 a night extra for our granddaughter.

While I would certainly qualify I am sure that I would want others to subsidise my holidays Billiejo. 

I don't have a dog, never have, but I never expected any discount for that. We now rarely use an awning but same again, and I don't expect a discount for not having any children under five with me. 

And it's as well to remember that other providers do charge for an awning, do charge for dogs, and charge for children when they become 14 or 16 unlike the club where it's 18, and some even charge for showers.

I think you are all lucky to have your July magazine. 

It is probably a false memory but I thought my magazine used to arrive early mid 20's each month. Now it is usually 7-10th the following month. I've given up chasing the club on this.

True but, this generally means their pitch price is lower than that of the Club's and it makes them very competitive and often cheaper if you don't have any of the above and use your own facilities.
