Easter hols and prices on or off
Well we are very lucky we have received confirmation that we can stay on site with others for the forceable future 😓(site now on lockdown)
obviously we are paying our pitch fees , but of course with Easter looming and higher rates for what would be high season (school holidays) plus Easter bank holiday, appear to be cancelled by all and sundry, government/churches , what’s your opinion on the cc charging us full holiday rates , pitch fees ,
do you think they should or not
Comment from the Community Manager:
In line with government guidelines, we have agreed members that are either key workers or, with no fixed abode can remain on site. For the few members that are with us, the Club have now confirmed that pricing will continue at the rates applicable on 22nd March, the date of closure. This will continue for the period we are closed commercially, until 30th June 2020. If you are still on site and have any questions about pricing or booking during this period, please call the site office and they can discuss this with you. We wish all our members, their families and those dear, the very best during the months ahead, keep well and safe. Do keep an eye on our website for further updates.

I’m confused. Sites are closed until 30 June. 🤔

You're not the only one TW.
Even if you are on a site, what are you going to do if you don't like it if the club charge Easter prices? Find another site?
Worrying about this sort of expenditure just seems so irrelevant in these times. Pay up if they ask.

Number of us on site due for one reason or another have no permanent home to go to , yes all sites are closed, this is not a holiday site more of a stop over if your travelling , nobody’s moaning against paying fees at all , and we are all so grateful we can stay after government intervention, just someone asked will they or won’t they charge Easter fees

Seems it’s not a club site despite the comment about CC charging full site fees.
I think you’re lucky to have a site to stay on at all in the present circumstances, tbh, and you won’t find the site full of children and holidaymakers this Easter unless they’re happy to pay the fines imposed on them for making unnecessary journeys.
As has been said, have a chat with the site owner.👍🏻
Oh, to be in the position of paying full fees this Easter. Tis but a dream.😏

It’s a CC site , don’t think anyone’s refusing to pay at all , we are all paying site fees now , it’s just someone ask and nobody new if Easter charges / rates would apply. Just wondered if there was any opinions and what you thought , will probably find out , it does seem to be a conundrum as government has said no bank holidays no Easter even the church seem to be giving Easter as we no it a miss ,

If it's a CAMC site you need to speak to the warden or contact the club.
I'm assuming this site is housing fulltimers and, as such, is exempted from closure under the Govt regulations.
Profiteering, really? The site is open and running and needs to be paid for. I repeat, speak to the warden and/or the club.

Yes your correct most full timers , and has I said gov intervention , this was comments made earlier this evening nobody knows and will check it out with wardens , well someone will we would be embarrassed,
I suppose as some have no longer got jobs it may be financially scary for them .

Are you sure this is a Caravan and Motorhome Club site. I am unaware of any club site that is anything other than a touring site. All club sites are closed with only Site Staff in occupation. Can you name this site so we can all know? Here in Wales all sites, touring and static (except those with a residential licence) are shut by the Welsh Assembly Government. This is surely the same in England and Scotland. Something is not right here.

First of all I am only putting forward a conversation from other CAMC on site , and we are all glad we have been allowed to stay , as for Easter site fees we just wondered if they will or not , there was no moaning or nastiness in the comments made by anyone , some tongue in each yes,

Sorry your wrong it’s the Tredegar house site in Newport it is definitely a CAMC site, we are in lock down the reason I said it’s more of a stop over site while touring is because I can assure you Newport is not a holiday destination.

It could be covered by this, Scoutman -

I’m assuming we're talking about fulltimers on seasonal pitches. If they have no other home, they could be allowed to stay.

Yes tinwheeler seasonal pitches don’t think so not sure , but full timers yes they nearly all are and yes to say once again government intervention allowed us all to say and many other sites around the country to

Joe and maria, so glad that the government and the C&MC have agreed to allow full timers somewhere to stay put for the coming weeks.
I know its controversial but lets face it we are in uncharted waters here and everyone even the homeless on the streets are being found somewhere to rest their heads over the coming weeks.
This arrangement is far better than to have outfits roaming around the country looking for somewhere to stop and carrying the virus with them.
I wish you and all those on your site a safe and peaceful stay

Did you read my link, Scoutman? What would you rather the club had done, evicted people and let them roam the highways interspersed with wild camping? What happened to goodwill and we're all in it together😤

Yes we all stay 20 nights and 1 off or 21 nights on and two off , if those working or full timers go on different site then return for whatever reason they are allowed to book again for a further 20 or 21 nights , so they can tour u k if they sonwish staying 20 /21 nights on there chosen site /area ,
those on here happened to be on site when the lock down happened most full timers some stuck for a few mths , so still came under the government decision to be allowed to stay

There appears to be an element of confusion entering this thread which was about costs not duration of stays. As I understand it, such pitches that are being made available are on a "own facilities" basis and therefore an argument could be made for the fees to reflect this and being set at the level for CAMC 'no facility' sites.

Yes correct , but the above post was in reply to some one who was adamant that it was impossible to be full timers on CANC ,just needed to explain that his impossible is possible

Thank you Huskydog ,
it was an off the cuff remark a full timer made regarding Easter prises , off course if the club do decide to charge full prises in theory they have us over a barrel, it was an innocent remark that got me thinking and what would others think should they or shouldn’t they

A fair compromise to me would be to treat and price them as seasonal pitches, which in affect they currently are, with an appropriate reduction for no facilities. The sites are closed until the end of June at the earliest, so the initial contract could be until then. A 3 month let.
