Hello

we are new to using CLs. To save mehaving to  ring each and every site I look at, is there an average as to what EHU costs at Cls? They usually seem to say electric hook up available but do not say at what cost. Thanks

But the Club does not have 200 sites.

I think it was just a round figure as there are numerous sites on the network with a lot more than 100 pitches and very few less than 100

You could always be a real "nerd?"and count up the pitches on each sitewink

Ps  I would think if the club went down that route , it would by the use of "smart" cards for each hookup and as there are several on most Bollards it would envolve completely new ones, looking at what is available,  smart card  meter wise they are quite largesurprised

Whilst I understand no one wants to pay more, me included, the notion of paying for what one uses makes sense to me, be it CL or club site. To my mind, there’s nothing like paying for what one uses to heighten awareness. Despite the costs involved, the fact is that energy usage is a hot topic , or should be.

Pitch metering wouldn’t bother us. We have used holiday cottages where for years you paid for electricity via a meter. A lot rarer these days to find such an arrangement in a cottage, but the variation in power usage by touring outfits must be vast. We can happily and comfortably have a great holiday without a huge power draw in our older outfits, but conversations with some of our CL owning friends and acquaintances confirm just how much electricity some folks do require. No problem with that, but it does become a problem if we have to pay an across the board all in price because others have a much higher usage than us.
