July magazine

OH!!! not a lot to read now except "Content has been removed" so lets change tack a litlle bit,

in the same magazine there was a 2 page spread on the roll out of the new booking system, thought  who ever wrote it did very well a disguising just how bad it must have been when they first rolled it out, cannot comment further as i have never used it and my guess is that i will probably not use it in the near to distant future, but there seem to be less complaints of late so I guess things have improved somewhat.

I see they are also pushing overseas holidays in Spain "La Manga" , last time i visited the place, did not stay, it stank, the Mar Menor was in a dreadful state, i wonder if anybody from the club have visited to check it out

Hi everyone,

Just a polite reminder that there's a 2023 site prices discussion here. 

I received my July magazine yesterday, so looking forward to having a read this evening. 

There is also another one on site prices started up >here<. A bit of a hot topic!

The Club are probably trying to counter what they see as negative publicity around pricing. It's not an unfair point to make as whilst some commercial sites might have a cheaper headline price for a pitch they add extras like charging for pets and awnings and although much rarer they could charge for showers. Obviously if you camp as the OP does it does not help but on the other hand there will be many members where the simplicity of site fees from the Club has an advantage. I also think the idea of a senior discount from the Club, as attractive as the idea is to me,  is more difficult as there seem to be more of the 60 plus age group in the Club. Any discounts would have to be recouped elsewhere? I think traditionally the C&CC has had a younger demographic so the discount is not so draining. Also interesting though is the fact that the C&CC once applied that discount to over 55's but moved to 60 a few years ago so who is the say that in due course the age discount might only apply to the over 65's?

Maybe a little contentious and assuming of me, but I believe a large number of members are of a senior age and are better able to afford rather than need a senior discount. How about a younger family discount?

5th July already and no magazine received 

"......but on the other hand there will be many members where the simplicity of site fees from the Club has an advantage"

david, with the greatest of respect, no one could describe CAMC pricing as 'simple'....

there might be an all inclusive price given for a specific date but that price could be one of a dozen in a monthly price panel, often varying by a few pence here and there...

simple? Not sure about that.

I think you know what I mean, once you have establish the price for the type of pitch and the number in the party there are no more to be added on. If its been complicated it is by those of us that wanted to select a pitch type! Even commercial sites have the differences in what they charge for pitch type which is then further complicated by the choice of whether you have an awning, how many dogs etc.

I think it's very simple you choose a arrival date and end date, number of people, site, pitch type and the price is given straight away.

There is no point in working out what made that price up or what band it was in, what's the point? Does anyone do that in reality?

It's the final price that counts, all there is to do is accept it or not.
