Greetings,
Back of a fag packet stuff so don't come howling if I'm one or two out.
Fact. There are 109 sites
Fact. There are 4 Charging Bands.
Fact. Over 55's get a discount of 25%
Therefore there are 436 combinations of Site=Price (109 sites x 4 Charging Bands)
Of these the DG says that 56 sites will be lower in Low Season and 38 Lower in High Season.
That's 94 of the Site=Price Combinations.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OTHER 342??? I THINK I CAN GUESS.
Who does the DG think he is talking to? His choice of
selective choice of sites to quote lower prices is going to fool only the simpletons of this world. His use of political gobbledegook, where he assumes that us world wise people will believe that, because he announces that one site in one season (Alton in High season) will be lower, they all will?, is either naive or downright embarrassingly disingenuous.
In addition, if you are in that 'Twilight zone' of say 52-54 years of age, not only are you going to work for longer than you were hoping to in the future, you will also have to pay more because your Age Concession you were hoping to get has been whipped away from under your nose.
And then, to cap it all, we have a new system where, unless one books in advance, you cannot know how much a site is until you arrive. The 'From' and 'To' pricing system ensures that. Oh! and don't cancel your booking WHATEVER THE REASON less than a month in advance because you won't get your money back.
Not even 5* sites in the height of the season have such a cavalier approach to pricing. They announce the price at the start of the season and that's the price it is.
I'm sorry if the year 2012 was a washout with many people quite rightly cancelling rather than spend a soggy weekend in their tents or 'vans but that's where a Club??? should be better than a commercial organisation and take it on the chin. Weather happens, get used to it.
Perhaps the Club??? could introduce a mandatory insurance scheme ala Hoseasons to cover all those people who haven't got the ability to use a crystal ball and work out when someone will be ill and die without the requisite notice. I'm sure that will be a good money spinner.
(I've just realised I'm giving them ideas, I will go stand in the corner)
I could go on. I know I haven't mentioned everything but the CS Owners can be assured of a bumper year next year.
So can the ferry Companies as we all debunk off to the Continent where such a money grabbing attitude doesn't exist.
I know what I'm going to do in August next year. I'm going to save my membership money.

Even us 'Wrinklies' who have the Concession have had it eroded to the tune of 5%. (PLUS HOWEVER MUCH THE SITE FEE HAS GONE UP) What happened to PRI CPI and all the other index's used to measure inflation.

Got to correct one thing. Age concession is now 25% not 30%.
But right its money money tight fisted in this day and age I would of thought they would try to find a way to help out not burden and get less members as it certainly looks like they could have a lot leaving.
