Was thinking of staying at Godrevy Park Cornwall during the Easter holidays but the club are charging top whack for the full two weeks, 29.00 for a grass pitch, I can stay at Gwithian farm on a hard standing for 21.00, site is just up the road and a little closer to the beach.
Another couple of hundred quid the club can afford to chuck, take it or leave it

Well yes but firstly how many members actually think that? So far 1 or 2 on here on this thread? Looking at July and August it appears quite popular enough with quite a lot of the dates fully booked and many others showing less than 5 pitches.
Secondly what will this 'view' expressed on here actually achieve? What proportion of club sites users (and payers) use CT?
What will the club take more notice of? One or two 'grumbles' on here or people not booking? The only way to achieve any reduction is not to go?

Threads on this subject come up every year, often more than once! The point is, that in any particular part of the country where there is a club site there will be many alternatives, some more expensive, some less. It's simply a matter of doing ones research and shopping around for the best deal at the best price. As far as I can see, club sites come out pretty much on the median as far as prices are concerned. So sometimes we use them and sometimes we use alternatives. Location is the main priority every time.

Posted on 08/03/2018 12:51 byI am afraid this a rewording of your continual advice CS "if you dont like it go elsewhere". I dont and I do but as a paid up member I still feel entitled to an opinion and its been an opinion I have held since 1978 when I first joined..
BTW I yesterday booked a CL at £14, whilst I am fairly relaxed about site fees I do draw the line at paying approaching £30 for a CAMC site with only the minimum of facilities.

I can't see that as I was asking a different (unanswered by you) question:
What will the club take more notice of? One or two 'grumbles' on here or people not booking? The only way to achieve any reduction is not to go?
but feel free to re-post your comments again as you are certainly entitled to do

£112 when i was at school
Sorry, JVB, but Cody has stated that the CMC would lose a couple of hundred pounds and he is more or less correct. Assuming he would be staying for at least 10 nights then the club is losing the total revenue not just the difference between the 2 sites quoted, which I assume is how you are arriving at £112 (14x£8).
It would be interesting if anyone could get their hands on the occupancy rate for those sites where there is good competition for places. If occupancy rates were to be less than 60% full then maybe the club do need to look at their rates as presumably for Easter they would have no problem filling the site if they were competitive. Don't know how you would get your hands on such facts though.
