Pricing in the directory and online

Looe Club site has 47 ever changing price bands through the year- and some of them just last 2 days.
Is that a record? Who can find a site with more price changes than that?

Ha ha, you beat me to it EuroT, Looe was going to be my next test. Ridiculous comes to mind, as does camel and committee!

There is clearly ample space for rationalisation. Four bands low, mid and high season plus a Bank Holiday premium. It could be simplified further by leaving the person charge the same and merely amending the pitch fee. Sites could be equally graded into groupings - honeypot, mainstream, remote. The current setup seems to be an exercise in obsfucation for the sake of it.
If CAMC can't be bothered to make the price of their product clear and readily accessible, why should I waste my time even considering buying it?

At a quick scan there appear to be 4 price bands in reality. The other entries in the pricing table are simply to account for the midweek pitch discount which seems totally reasonable. Do you suggest that they do away with the mid week discounts to make it simpler for anybody that feels challenged?

The prices are clear but if you don't wish to use them you should look for a good reason such as the end price and not just a made up one CY

If your default position is that you will always chose to stay on a CAMC site and consider AS / Independent / C&CC sites if there is not one in the area you wish to visit, then there is no "problem".
I'll make it simple for you. There are not 17 'bands in reality. There are 4 bands plus, the advantage of mid week discounts.
So as you say not a problem but, for you, an irritation?

Would it attract new family members? This is where the current drive is, towards “adventure” and however else they term it. No it wouldn’t.
It matters not a jot to the current ageing membership with time on their hands and less variables to consider, but as “pricing” is one of the bedrocks of successful marketing, they are running the Grand National, let alone a hurdle race! Meanwhile, families are happily elsewhere, bar a few grandchildren happily towed along by existing members.

....but no MWD at the 6 band, 15 changes Henley...just complexity and penny pinching.
i can see CY's 'simplistic' banding looking far more .....well, simple....but if the club remain obsessed with hiking up prices for short term, Bank Holiday linked periods, will still be into multiple changes..
however, when bands vary by just 10p it makes you wonder why that band exists at all.....
im sure there can only be one answer...
In life, irritations and situations can become problems if they persist, I doubt the club would really want members to thinking thus....

I presume that customers, of whatever age, are likely to consider what the bottom line price is and what the site offers them in terms of value.

Well, for me, the reason that CC sites are first choice is that they offer the 'value' that I want at a price that I am happy with. I care not how they arrive at that price

We get the message. You just LOVE Club sites.
As for me I don't like the rules, the regimented line up, the no bar/no cafe/ no shop/ no meals set up, the 12 noon scamper, the silence, and now the prices.
I'm out

LOVE might be overstating and especially with capitalisation ET.
It does seem that what your want from a site - bar, cafe, shop, meals are what I definitely things that I don't want. I don't need silence but happy with quiet and birdsong including the crows roosting.
Not sure if by 12 noon scamper you mean departure? But if so I will have left well before.
I find little difference between CC prices and similar UK sites. Can't say that the rules bother me. I simply carry on as I wish which probably is generally in line with the rules and so not a consideration

How patronising.
Indeed it was and intentionally so as I felt your post to which I responded to be patronising.
I found no lack of clarity as the prices are given.
If you are not a fan of clubsites I suppose they would be a last option perhaps and fair enough.

you make it sound (as always btw) that you are/were forced to use club sites, great you're out, you're happy

I don't recall making up "any" price, merely drawing attention to the inordinately complex pricing structure that is further obscured by not even having the courtesy/courage to print them in the handbook.
Perhaps they are operating on the "Rolls Royce" maxim - if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
