Paper or paperless
At the lawns caravan show at Cottingham last weekend I was talking to a guy on the Caravan club stand, I ask why the caravan club dosn't give discount for papperless, the camping and caravan club charge £37.00 for papperless or £43.00 for papper membership,
he said our members want the books, I also ask why we need Toilet blocks on club sites, I ask why dont we have 2 prices 1 if you want the key to the Toilet block, 2 you just want to use your caravan toilet/shower.
what do others think
1; would you like a cheaper price for papperless, only great days out in papper
2; would you like cheaper club site & pay extra only if you want the key/code to the toilet block

The reason I like paperless is it reduces clutter around the house and in the van. It is also easier to search for information and past articles. Saves the Club money as well which ultimately can be passed onto the membership or spent eleswehere for member's
benefit.peedee

Isn't it regarded as bad etiquette to poke fun at people's spelling mistakes?
This sort of trolling is what puts people off posting on here....

The C&CC discount of a fiver or so to do without the magazine isn't enough of an incentive for us even though the magazine goes more or less straight into recycling.
As far as the use of toilet blocks is concerned, for me it's a non starter - if you choose to go to a CC site with facilities you pay the going rate. To have two different rates just smacks a bit of the "I'll pay for what I use and not a penny more" philosophy.
If you don't want the toilet/shower facilities I'm pretty certain you could find a basic CL within, say, 10 miles of any CC site.
So, sorry, but for me, both ideas are non starters.

I chose to reject the mag so I don't want a discount. It's good to have total access to all the facilities including the Shower blocks so basically my vote is-leave it alone, it ain't bust it don't need fixing

If I could dump the useless magazine but still have the handbook and map then I would.
With the other club it's all or nothing

I've amended the title of the thread as I presume that it's an error on the part of the OP. I've also moved it into the Club Products and Services Section as this is more appropriate.

Write your comments here...Bobbr they will then want a reduction on memebership for lack of magazine as well.....When you join a club you may have to pay extra for some facilities and less for others but that is what club membership is for.If you are going to quibble over every last penny then possibly best not join a club......The facilities have to be maintained, serviced and checked for all members whether you use or not.Tough that's the way it goes in a CLUB.

A comparison could be made with my sailing club. The slipway is used by all boat owners. Cruisers use the pontoon and craning derrick. Dinghy racers use neither but use the changing rooms and the boat compound. We all use different facilities, some more,
some less. We all pay the same subscription.0 -
Getting back to the subject, many organisations with a monthly magazine offer an electronic copy at reduced membership fee. I have gone for this option where offered however I admit it is not always as easy to read (depends on how the page set up works). I would still want the site hand book as it would not always be possible to search on line for sites when moving.

I would go for a no magazine/handbook and price reduction if it were offered, or an electronic one over a paper one (assuming there was a reduction) like the CCC offer.
I don't think it would be possible to only give the code/key to some - as others have said someone will usually open the door for you if you forget your key so the same would happen. Also those who dont use the toilet/shower in the block are actually going to be using more water/waste disposal for their caravan or motorhome so costing the site on that front so a discount wouldnt be appropriate. IMO all club sites should have the basic facilities of toilet/shower/hook up and that should be included in the price.

it would Have to be on trust
Anything based on trust is a commercial non-starter.

Write your comments here...for your first question yes it should be an option but. On your second point I assume if you don't use the toilet block you are going to bring your own water to site and take your waste water and toilet waste home with you as
the cost would have to take that into account or would you still want to use the site facilities ie water and waste/sewage disposal but just not walk to the shower block?0 -
Reduction of wear and tear on the tarmac/paving?
