     the older part of Southport is nice, however the newer part is horrible .... acres of gravel and hardly a tree or bush in sight.

    It looks even better than when we used to visit it, and it was fine then.

    And not many car parks have this sort of view.

    Maybe not, but we've stayed on CLs with similar views, where we had a lot more space between pitches than that.  To me, that is just a glorified carpark, ok, there are views from said pitches, but at a minimum of £30.30 per night for 2 people, going up to £42.20 per night, (which I find well over the top for a site), not to mention the cost for a SP, I can get better, not to mention cheaper, much cheaper.

    As you always point out, it's all about choice and I know what I would choose for that sort of money.  Could get a pitch for 2 nights for that with much more space and individuality.

    And that photo of the side was very misleading. Much more travel and car park like, with no views other than the unit opposite. Horrible, and the town is so run down now too.

    Yes all about choice. I'm glad you believe you can get better it's great you think or know you get cheaper, much cheaper prices and more individuality...everyone chooses what they think is best.

    I'm not trying to get you to go to club sites so I'm not sure what your post is about with all the details about pricing. You're happy and so great.

    I know what I would choose too and I think it's worth what I pay and is better all round than your choice. So we're all happy.

    My post was in reaction to your post; surely part of people's holidays is about cost, and in view of all the recent price rises is an important part of deciding whether a site is worth the fees payable.  Perhaps you are in the fortunate position of not having to consider site fees and will pay whatever it costs; unfortunately there are lots of other people who are not in such a priviliged position, hence that was what my "post is about with all the details about pricing".

    I know what I would choose too and I think it's worth what I pay and is better all round than your choice. So we're all happy.

    "and is better all round than your choice"

    Forgive me, but how can you know that what you choose is better all round than my choice? Do you know what my choice of site is, other than that I prefer a CL to the photo you posted of Troutbeck Head? 

    As I said, it's about choice, but please don't put words into my mouth and don't imply that your choice is better than mine, thank you.

    Sheesh, it’s not a competition. Everyone's choice is right for them. From glamping to muddy field CLs, it’s all there. Let’s celebrate that👍🏻

    Appreciate yours and WTG's feedback on the survey. Perhaps unfair of me to say this as I didn't volunteer, I think something was happening on one of the days, but a little surprised that only two on here took part, or at least reported back. Hopefully the Club will report back on the outcome of the survey. 

    Just a worry that it was clear from both of you that the people engaged to carry out he survey had very limited knowledge of our hobby if they seemed to be confused by comments that all of us on here would understand? I suppose, if this forum is anything to go by, things do often go off at a tangent which makes following the script more difficultwink

    "and is better all round than your choice"

    A little selective posting there InD. Not a question btw, if you read carefully I actually wrote:

    I know what I would choose too and I think it's worth what I pay and is better all round than your choice

    Did you spot the and ? And was there any mention of site?

    Do you know what my choice of site is,

    Well actually yes I think I do, you told me fully in your post exactly what sort of site in terms of costs and you even told me that was your choice (in bold below)

    As you always point out, it's all about choice and I know what I would choose for that sort of money. Could get a pitch for 2 nights for that with much 

    You think you choice is the right one, and it is for you, but apparently mine isn't, wasting all that money when I could save so much.

    As to putting words into your mouth I just don't understand that in any way shape or form, sorry.

    As for being privileged to afford club sites, a lot of others do as well it would seem, well sadly the club isn't a charity and everyone surely pays what they can to give value for their money, as simple as that really.

     

    I'll carry on with club sites as they give me a better all round experience and offer better value for money, a better product all round. That is my choice. I do not expect anyone to follow that, understand it, or agree. As always choose whatever makes you happy. This is my final word on this, but add something if you wish.

    Thanks to WTG and hja for sharing as much as they have. I sincerely hope that the Club does share the survey results, it would be very interesting. I am sure that a good few more folks took part, but perhaps don’t want to share their experiences. 

    I think this year is going to be “interesting” in terms of filling pitches, for the Club. A glance at availability yesterday surprised me in terms of just how much is available, and even the usually busy Sites have something.
