    Comparing the site prices of sites I stayed on this year with next years prices the increases look to be about 3 to 3.5 percent. 

    Are these CC sites? Where did you find the new prices as I haven't seen them?

    You are following in the path of many previous CMC customers who found that the CMC no longer offered value for money.

    And you know about many previous members who made such a decision K. How might that be? A divine gift mayhaps?

    So this is before any further proposed increases?

    ET, next year’s prices (#1) have been available for some time, under the web pages for individual sites. Probably due to new rolling booking system. Price increases (#2) have just been announced, via email to those who have sites booked. We opted out of emails from Club, but just happen to have booked a couple of sites for first time ever in advance for a couple of events for next year.This is probably why we got the update email, which is reassuring us that our existing booking price will stand, if we keep those dates. It will possibly have bookings running for different prices for a year, something bound to cause comment at some point if there is a queue in reception and someone thinks someone else has got something cheaper! The Club has probably recalculated it’s pricing policy for next year, and is implementing it retrospectively, but has decided, probably sensibly, not to incur the wrath of those like us who have booked something at a price advertised. So if you book something before Tuesday of next week, you will be charged the old, new price, rather than the new, new price!

    I am trying to recall when price increases usually happen (1st Jan? 1st April?) to see if this is another way of getting more money in. New prices from 5th December seems a bit strange to me, but I could be wrong.

    ET, i got them by using the same period of time I booked this year at he same sites. I have assumed that the listed price for 2019 is what you pay whether you book now or later next year.

    Unless I am mistaken, it would be illegal to do otherwise.

    i can remember they used to be £10 but not when. Next year they are £15 so that is a 50 percent rise. In 2014 they were £12 and I  recall they jumped from £10 to this.

    Still not the 50% stated in 6yrs and in 9years not bad with the much increased costs involved  compared to just about everything else in the UK 

    will have to check our site night costs as we have used that site since about 1999 we have kept a record since i fully retired cool

    It appears there is no specific law relating to honouring prices, but most places do. You could almost say a contract between the Club as seller, and myself as purchaser, has been agreed at the price quoted. How binding upon both parties throws up a lot of variables. I might cancel, the site might not be available..............small print would sort it out somewhere. Slightly different to buying goods over a shop counter that has been labelled incorrectly.

    I believe shops can withdraw the item from sale if its wrongly priced, but they don't usually. I presume similar for the club as no deposit or paid in advance means something similar?? No real contract entered into just an agreement?? Very grey area.

    Incidently we opted out of emails and have no onward bookings but got the email. I believe I stated that way up thread but I'm not checking!

    It has crossed my mind that it may not have originated from the Club!

    We haven't had an email, we opted out, I still can't understand why the club hasn't put this info on the main web site? Has anyone seen it anywhere?

    I put it down to the idiosyncrasies of CAMC IT 😉.

    No I've not seen elsewhere on the website, I checked soon after the thread opened - not done so since.

    I found this link elsewhere, (another web site) why some have got the email and others not seems like an admin error. You would normally expect this to go out via an auto link to emails.

    LINK

    These details are not on the current web site, I have searched for them. Assuming my link works? That is the first time I have seen them since the OP was posted.
