Pricing in the directory and online

Mountain out of a molehill springs to mind, M.
Mind you, I think a paper price list should have been sent out along with the new handbook and map. Other than that, it’s no big deal.

welcome back and happy new year.
Yes sadly some folk do like to make anything negative (which there are) far more than it is to have a go at the club, it's their way of getting through the day I suppose.
But many, if not virtually all of those who book like you and me, just see if our dates are free, see the bottom price, compare it to others and then book or not.

It hasn't suddenly become a problem. I was just reiterating what BB had pointed out once the price list was opened.
What suddenly has become a problem to me is the lack of information information in the handbook. eg. no prices
Yes, I may, as someone suggested be in the, "it's always been done this way, why change" school of thought!
I am also in the school of "if it aint broke don't fix it"
The club have meddled with it and now it is broke. Hence the length of this post.
It would be nice to know why the club thought it necessary to change the system. I am not aware that they consulted the members

Why would they need or want to consult with members. They’ve made a decision and it is what it is.
I suspect very few rely on an old fashioned handbook/price list for pricing information - a guide yes but something will always be out of date the minute it gets printed.
As Moulsey & Corners have said, you’re going online to book and check availability so see what the final price is and book if you like it and go elsewhere if you don’t.
Funny, I popped in my local Co-Op the other day, and they’ve rearranged the shelving and now the sour grapes are in a completely different place - I ask you 😉
Mountain out of a molehill indeed Tinwheeler.

Lucky you huskeydog, however not all of us have money coming out of our ears, but need to work to a budget so that with a bit of careful management of said budget we might just be able to squeeze a few extra nights away over the year!

Well said harryb.
My thoughts exactly!

"Why would they want to consult with members" is a very pertinent question, 63eb. We don’t appoint club council members by voting for them to then have them come back to us for permission to raise prices/ alter the layout/ change the logo/ use a different brand of loo paper. As with all elected governing bodies, we empower them to make decisions on our behalf and it’s a change to see someone else recognising that.
Otherwise, keeping a dog and barking oneself becomes the order of the day.

I agree, baileyvanman, and having considered our desired "this clubs" site, which turned out to be around £30 per night we have instead chosen a site from the "other club" at around £18 per night with our age discount.... The increase in this clubs prices and the many bands have made us become very cautious indeed when booking. Very happy indeed saving the £12 per night for those 5 nights

Brilliant good choice.

agree, the club is not a charity - sadly

Huskydog, your posting of 14:57 today says, and I quote "I just find a site I like and book it, often I don't know how much it is until I book in at reception."
To me that seems very much at odds with what you say in your posting of 17:49!

I am probably like Husky in some ways. I know that, overall, I am content with CC prices and I am happy with comparisons I have made in the past both in terms of cost and standard. That being the case I have no need to check the price for each site. Sometimes I might say 'bit pricey for that site at the time I wish to use it' but on another site on another date I I might consider the price very reasonable. Swings and roundabouts.

Likewise, CAMC prices and sites are known quantities and worth paying for to me.

Yes, I understand the basics of an executive committee but do they not make bad decisions then take notice of the members who do not agree with their decision..
Just last week on site a poster proclaiming "we listened to you the members" followed by another poster saying " and this is what we did".
It was to do with the method of advanced booking for the year ahead on the old Dec start date. There were hundreds of complaints about that system so no doubt it would have been the executive committee who listened to the members and made a change to the system, So they can make a change to a system they themselves set up and that was the case, re the above example, when they considered the frustration of the members.
That is what a lot of members are asking in this topic

That's not the same point as you made earlier, Harry -
"I am not aware that they consulted the members"
Consulting and listening are two different things.
Sorry, I don’t follow your last sentence. What is it you believe a lot of members are asking?

And those members that complained because they could not get the pitches because of the Dec booking frenzy will be no better off I suspect. Many of them said it was unfair as they could not make bookings that early for the coming year.
Boy the change really makes it easier for them!0 -
indeed they changed the frenzy day after listening. They did not consult anyone before they made the changes did they?
Also I think we're thinking to0 much of ourselves if we think we got the change or represent all the members, how many regulars posters are there compared to all the membership?

here has long been a myriad of pricing periods.
Not actually fact, ET. I have the 2017/2018 site directory in front of me as I type and there are 3 levels of prices only for most sites, and some have only 2. There were no 10p differences that I can see, then!!
