Discounting only works if it increases uptake on sites, I expect both clubs know what incentives they need. The CC children's discount is attractive to families and also the fixed low prices on some sites which offer a very big discount to all members.

Not that I'm against a discount or two but whether it increases revenue is another matter. smile

The C&CC discount still applies but they did increase the qualifying age a couple of years back. It does help some people but the make up of members there seems to be different with moire younger families so they probably need the discount to get us oldies to fill the sites outside the main holiday periods.

Frankly the people with the biggest problem on costs are young families where the numbers going can make for big bills so I think the family discount is a useful marketing tool for getting children used to their sites in the hope they will stay with the club as they get older.

I dont agree with the age related discount. What CC should do is extend the mid week discount to all sites We oldies then could fill the sites in week days leaving the weekends for families or working people. We tend to do that now at sites with MWD

I would agree with the idea of no age related discounts if it were applied universally.......but the CC give massive discounts to young people who use the facilities etc just as much as any other people.

I'm with you on that one, at 60+ my disposal pension, although not great is certainly much higher than my disposal income was as a young family man, it was almost non existent! Thankfully many of us recognise the need to support our future generations and the family discount offered by forward thinking organisations and businesses.

I am not in favour of discounts for the over 60's, in fact there should be no age related discounts and wonder why children have one!

If there wasn't a discount for children it would make CC club sites unaffordable for most families!
