     Thanks Brue. I note that the Southport Club Site  prices are due to go up. Ne'er mind. I shall doubtless book for next year regardless as this is the only site that we use once each year in December. Most sites we are unlikely to return to within 4 years.

    Looks like I'll do the usual boring old thing and ask the club why some of us didn't hear, if TW doesn't mind I'll use the OP.

    Feel free, Brue.

    How odd that I can’t see my mail in the OP. Thanks all for clarifying. Perhaps it’s device specific or maybe my high speed fibre connection is under the weather.

    If we represent a proportion of those who haven't received this message I wonder how many actually got it out of the total membership? I have sent a message to the club. Hope we get a response, a few pounds here and there is quite significant for some.

    I can see it on my Android tablet, TW.  Now what I can't do is to provide a screenshot like that, (maybe I will learn how to one day!) but our email was worded differently to yours, this is the text I copied:

    It’s never too early to plan your 2019 adventure, especially if it can save you money. Book before midnight on 4 Dec and you can take advantage of our prices before they increase slightly in 2019. This is to cover the rising price of utilities and the day to day costs of running a network of 160 UK Club Sites.

    Many Members have already taken advantage of this, so don’t miss out.
    Get planning and booking for 2019 today.

    The bit at the very bottom is the same, "don't worry if you see an updated price in My Profile" etc.  Now we've got a couple of bookings for 2019, aand have had those for quite a few weeks before the email, so I thought it a bit strange, as the way our email is phrased sounds like we haven't got anything booked.  Odd.

     i think it is a generic email to all members ,that the club thought had been received, but yet another glitch in their IT systems managed to once again fail to "deliver"wink

    Well, the plot thickens. Two emails with slightly different wording. 

    Mine was personalised and not a 'dear member' round robin.

    I think that peedee is talking about the increase up to now, and there's going to be further increase after the 5th Dec as stated in the e-mail some received. Hence my earlier post.yell

    No pd, there's a further increased to come hence the e-mail telling members to book before Dec5 to avoid the increase.

    Our email is exactly as Tinwheeler in the OP.

    Certainly seems to be an odd state of affairs.  

    • Some get one sort of email, despite opting out and no forward bookings
    • Some get another email with similar contents
    • Some get neither

    This was the one I received and it's different from TW's.

    That's the one we received too, as per my post on the previous page, despite having 2 bookings for next year; as I said in my earlier post, the email implies no bookings have (yet) been made.

    Ours was personalised too TW, sorry, I didn't copy that bit.  Still, as you say, two emails with slightly different wording.

    You're correct Nellie, as far as I know the supplements to be added due to the Club underestimating cost have not been published and have yet to be added. I have not really been paying too much attention to the changes because I have as yet no plans to use any Club sites and I certainly won't be rushing to book anytime soon. Prices will be what they will be but one thing for certain is they will not be less than currently shown.

    I get the same problem on my iPad TW. Generally only with photos I post, not with others. I can still see your letter.

    Normally when I clear the history they reappear. I just put it down to a memory issue. My iPad is getting a bit ancient and does not have the same capacity as the newer models.

    It reappeared late last night after I cleared my cache, Steve. 

    My Pad is still a current model but I guess they have their limitations and I do give it a good workout on a daily basis.

    Well, still no e mail from the club and no response from them either. I presume some will be lucky enough to book at reduced prices and others will miss out. frown

    I was on the phone to a department at the club this afternoon( about a renewal email i had not received) and the person i was speaking to was "unaware" that the generic email  had not been received by it sounds, quite a large portion of the membership,surprised

    That doesn't surprise me JVB and I'm pleased to hear you spoke to someone. I can't understand why the information hasn't been put on the web site, in the uk holiday section or "what's on." Last day tomorrow but too late for many I fear.

    If TW hadn't written the OP I and others would be none the wiser. I was grateful for this info.

    Just out of interest, I have just checked two bookings I have made for next May and the percentage increase from yesterday's 2019 prices is 2%. That is of course on top of the 3.5 % or so increase from 2018. So significantly above inflation. Well at least it is at the ones I have looked at, I know they have frozen some.

    My two short bookings for Hillhead (which I made when I saw this thread) and Broadway haven't altered at all. I see in the link I put on, which others received and some didn't, that these two were due for a price rise. Further on the link announces the price rise list comes out in January 2019. Is it me or does this seem very muddled?

    The link is about three pages back.

    I thought that I would make my 14/15 night booking for Southport December 2019 over Christmas. HOW MUCH!!!!

    There is a glitch in the booking system such that for each of 5 nights of a 14 night booking it was charging once at £21.50 and charging the same night again at £21.80. 

    Glitch being worked on. smile

    Ditto...checked a couple of my bookings..Chatsworth has not changed,(But I do know the scheduled work for Jan/Feb/Mar has been postponed, so the site is open for business)......Knaresborough has increased from £220.00 to £226.20.(2.82%)...So the saving of £6 should get me a couple of pints in The Wanderer bar.....Cannot see any other increase from 2018..

    That's odd my Chatsworth booking for March 2019 has increased by 2%. I think previously there was no increase over the 2018 price, but they do seem to have applied this latest one for any folk booking from today.
