We have just had a lovely eight day stay on a very nice CL. £98 for hardstandings, hook up, huge pitch with picnic tables, very nice tea room on site. We are currently happy bunnies!

Try Port Arthur Farm CL, 200 metres from Club Site. Currently showing £18 per night. Has all that Club Site has bar the Wanderer. AO as well, so a lot more peaceful!

Love2Stay isn't your average Club Site though. Bit more on offer, different market I would say.

We are just looking at booking a few nights at the New Forest Centenary site, but because Monday the 7th May, our first planned night after the BH weekend, is a BH the charge is £36 for that night. Why! No school holidays, most of the weekenders will have gone home and to work and school on Tuesday, so Monday night is really back into low season. Why is our Club screwing us for every penny they can. This is a Club for us the members. We know about inflation and Brexit and know the Club has to balance its books, but maybe they should do what the government and LAs have to do and look at their costs at head office to make the books balance.
I am not convinced that the sudden rise in site fees is justified, especially when annual subscription now rises annually and membership peaks every year. C'mon CC stop taking us for a ride...

due to weekends, Bank Holidays, school holidays in each of the different countries of the UK, Ramadan, Yom Kippur etc (and make no mistake, these other 'special days' will soon find their way onto the Clubs ever more 'inclusive' calendar) it's actually quite difficuly to get a full week where all seven days are charged at the 'low rate' despite it being in a 'low season'

We have used 3 sites thus far on present trip. First site a commercial near Garstang. Washroom facilities clean and modern but not up to CC standards. Price about £25. Second CC Meathrop Fell. Around £19 I think. Currently on Glenearly independent site. £25 a night but £100 for our usual 5 night stay and so for us £20 a night with good free wifi and fairly good and well presented facilities.
Next site CC at New England Bay at £16.30
For me I don't find CC sites dearer at this time of year

Over there especially in Holland and Germany the price goes up over bank holiday periods even if in low Acsi season so it’s not just the club that rises prices. For a couple of nights at the start of my trip next month we are having to pay the high season rate. Still it’s where we want to be so will happily pay the price.

Like us (and plenty of others) doesn't Fish mix and match his choice of sites and providers?
...and doesn't this wider usage and experience give a better understanding of each providers price foibles?
IMHO, it certainly does, compared to someone who sticks to one supplier...

From the club’s point of view, if the ‘biggest critics’ continue to give it business by paying membership fees, buying products and using sites, the club must feel it’s doing something right.

but that wasn't Fisherman's point at all
Organisation like ours is run by "empire builders", looking to justify high salaries. The members are far down the pecking order when it comes t their needs. I am probably their biggest critic
And secondly if he is their biggest critic why does he still use them? I mean not just a minor gripe sort of person but their biggest critic ever? Seem odd? If I was the biggest critic of something I would not use/buy/go near it?

Our 8 nights in July this year are going to cost us £23.80 per night on a Club site. Moving on to a commercial site the following week will cost us £29.64 per night.
I'm happy with those sort of figures, given the quality of the Club sites and the facilities on them.

I think it might be you who have missed the point.
you say that because Fish is 'the clubs biggest critic' he shouldn't use their products....
anyone can (is free to) criticise any organising for any part of their operation....we might not agree with some part of their policy or 'manifesto', yet if their product is what we want, when we want it and at an acceptable price, we might still choose to buy...
Fish, says he is a critic of certain aspects of the clubs 'hierarchy', I have criticised many other things about the club (pricing, bookings, arrivals, etc....there's much room for improvement
) but this can be 'parked' whe it comes to booking a pitch...the two 'positions' aren't mutually exclusive.

you say that because Fish is 'the clubs biggest critic' he shouldn't use their products

oh, I see this was just an innocent question, nothing to do with being a direct response to his 'critic' post or a reference to his (hypocritical?) stance?....
you'll have to try harder (not header) ol' son

you're being deliberately misleading. I never said he shouldn't use their products, I asked why if he was their biggest critic why did he keep using them
sadly there is no point discussing things with you if you make things up
