    Free nights may well be more appreciated but they have to be paid for from somewhere. There is enough of an uproar as it is when the membership fee goes up.

    Stickers or No Stickers.does it matter. Money talks...Free Nights would be more appreciated!.

    I am with Jayro, free nights are not free they put up the prices on the sites.

    When i'm on holiday , i see all manner of flags and kites and windsocks on flagpoles, but despite the number of caravan club members , Ive never seen a CC Kite or flag or pennant that we could fly , Just to let our neighbours know "were in the club"  Maybe
    this would be better than a sticker, then across the vast reaches of a caravan club site we could actually see whose there......................Just an Idea Like , what say you :)

    I have my CT 'homemade' pennant that goes in the window on CL/club sites.

    One of these for a £7 would do nicely

    I'm not great at economics, but how would a voucher for a free night stay for those that have been long term members of the Club increase fees for everybody? I see that the Club would lose income for a pitch for one night, but if the pitch stays empty, then
    there is no income anyway? The cost to post a voucher would be the same as posting a sticker?

    I don't see why after say, 20 years membership, and every five year anniversary after that, a member couldn't be given a free night voucher in thank you for their loyalty.

    The member will have paid, at current rates, a minimum of 20 x £48, and presumably during their 20+ year membership paid for some stays at a Club Site. A small token of thanks for the £1,000+ they have given to the club over the lifetime of their membership
    seems to me unlikely to increase the subs for every other member.

    I'm nowhere near, I think it's my fourth year, but I think those that have supported the Club for decades could have a nights stay in recognition of their loyalty.

    I'm happy to be proved wrong if somebody can justify the costs of such a freebie, against the cost of the pitch laying dormant for an evening.

    The free night might just make a member, who never/infrequently use a club site, stay for 2 or 3 days so increase the income.
