Club sites too expensive

Is this the site that you can't name btw😊
It's not can't, won't. No it isn't, that was a 100 plus pitch site for £21p.n. The nearest comparable Club site was just under £ 27p.n. and was nowhere near full over the holiday. I see the price increases next year so with all the competion in the area it will remain under used For £17p.n. I had showers, toilets, laundret, hard standing, EHU and water on the pitch.

If you close your waste tap there may not be so much water on your pitch
"under used?" depends how many are needed on the site to break even,and it is still one of many the club have to keep a fair size network for its members,and them from "over there" who are in increasing numbers coming over here to take advantage of a "company?"who has sites in most popular places for their tours

Honestly, who'd believe it? Here's the thing - there are more expensive and less expensive sites than club sites out there. There are sites with better and sites with worse facilities than club sites out there. There are sites with more pitch take up and sites with less pitch take up than club sites out there. At the end of the day we all make our own choices about what suits us best.
PD - this wouldn't by any chance be a wind up, like last year's metered electricity thread would it? You know, the one where you had us believing you'd found this great value site with metered electricity and several pages later it became clear that it was a THS of the C&CC - I did enjoy that!

Other than very much reduced fees.

And metered electric?

No is disputing the fact that cheaper (and possibly inferior to some) sites exist. I just cannot see what relevance that fact has to the question posed by the OP?

PD was simply saying that there are cheaper alternatives as also provided by the alternative unnamed site that can be used instead of unnamed club site in an unnamed area of the UK. Does that make it clearer. (I hope that I got that right)?

I think I pretty much agreed with your first sentence in my first paragraph, didn't I? But for balance it just needs saying that there are far more expensive alternatives to club sites out there as well as cheaper ones.
When we use club sites, Feb/March and Oct/Nov, they are almost always the belt value for money, especially when it's just me and one dog.

At the moment there is a commercial site Up the coast from us which has availability. It is also very cheap and even cheaper if you use the vouchers which are readily available nationally. It has a whole range of accommodation including touring pitches. It has a club house and other 'attractions'. I'm sure people love it but I for one will give such places a miss. Stayed here many years ago when the children were small, it seemed a good idea at the time. All I can say is it really wasn't for us. If you like to observe certain human 'interactions', 'excited' behaviours and novel and unpredictable responses from other 'guests' then this might just fit your wishes and pocket but we were pleased to up steadies and away. However, from an 'educational' perspective, our children acquired a much broader understanding of English vocabulary in those few days which may just have stood them in 'good stead' later in life although, at the time, it took us a while ignoring the new found language before it finally disappeared.

well Micky, there you have it....the Club attitude, in a nutshell....
thank goodness the membership vetting system keeps all this 'sort' out...Oh, sorry, it doesn't, anyone can join....
perhaps Groucho Marx had it right

Not so much an opinion, more of an observation and preference! As I said, I'm sure others will enjoy such experiences. This site in question is tidy, has good facilities, warm modern toilets etc. But it's not always the site which can effect experience. Got to give that balanced view, warts and all, only fair, no rose coloured specs here. But for what it's worth, those vouchers for cheap 'holidays' appearing in a well known tabloid may well have attracted a new clientel to 'caravanning', who knows? In time they may even be tempted to join us.

Not sure what the attitude you speak of BB is, thankfully I reckon the C&MC is a pretty broad 'church' these days. However, I'd reckon that the vast majority of members of both the club and society in general appreciate good manners, acceptance of rules and good neighbourly behaviours.

indeed fully agree +1 You cannot ague with any of that, unless you don't appreciate rules and manners of course?
2 -
oh, I appreciate rules and manners, Corners.....thank you.

I'm not struggling, but to help, the 'types', as your need for labelling requests, are fellow 'holidayers' with an habitual and wilful disregard for those 'neighbourly' behaviours commonly held by the vast majority of our society. No more, no less!
As also said, it is not always the 'park' itself that can determine the experience!
I for one appreciate the truely inclusive nature of the club, membership must always be open to all willing to exhibit and promote that friendly participation in our chosen pastime.

makes me shudder to think of the attitudes of some of our members

Never said 'bad' language. The English language is rich and diverse but may, on occasion be 'badly' used . Words should be used sparingly in order to maintain impact and effectiveness. Also, in my opinion, using 'those' words and allowing them to be habitually used within earshot and also by infants as a regular meaningless utterance could be considered unhelpful. School was and is a great educator as is much of that 'hidden' unintentional learning which takes place there. However, I'm sure my children, like the vast majority of us, probably whilst in Junior school, also learnt to use that new, rich language but only when fit for purpose and delivered to the 'appreciating' intended audience!
Isn't it great how these threads develop!

indeed, it is when and where and to whom to use those words that matters.
