Membership fees and request by Club to continue

Well it just goes to show, I started reading the remaing 11.5 pages today and it appears I posted on this thread a week ago. Memory not what it was. Any way, a good thread apart from the silly political bit at the end. Our membership fee is not due until December so we have plenty of time to think about paying/not paying it. I suppose I could belly ache about having paid in advance for the 2020 year, but I think that would be petty. We really just want to keep our membership going to use CL's and although we think the annual fee is rising too fast, will pay it because it is still good value (about £1 per week) if you like CL's. What the club will do next year to recover the lost revenue is going to be a lot more interesting, and the management really will have to be carefull about announcing site price increases and membership fee increases.

I think it would be wise for the club to make some financial information available to the membership, whilst avoiding throwing the baby out with the bath water. 

My decision time is July. Theoretically normal service should have been resumed by then but somehow I doubt it.

Ours is due in May, and after 21 years continued membership the club appears to have 'lost it's way' in our opinion so we very much think that the time has come to call it a day.

We can re-join next year when this is all over if we wish, being a long time member in this day and age has NO benefits, there is no pensioner discounts or reduction in fees so as to compensate for the time lost in not being able to use the network.

If  the lockdown does not get lifted at the end of June, then it might carry on thru August and into September.

Stay at home, stay save. 

@ Merlin ....Stay at home, stay save. 

Was that a Freudian slip .... 🤣

Mid week discounts? for very few apart from the retired? and what fee discount? 

ps my avatar is 6yrs out of date

I absolutely support that the club should extend the membership by the amount of time the sites are shut.  This is supposed to be a members club so the members should be consulted and listened to AND NOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.We are members to enrich the caravan experience not all the other bits like the club magazine which is 75% advertising,  Insurance which is not run by the club I can go on but you see my point.  Not every is fortunate to be able to have new cars and vans but have to choose carefully on a budget.  Come on Nick Lomas don't try to be one of the crowd listen to the members.

I agree that the club has not been coming forward with discounts,  every time I see them they are for sites that no  one wants to go to.  What about the popular sites like Burrs park in Bury where no discounts are given but instead the fees are extremely high and are now comparable with the large commercial sites.  No matter how immaculate the sites are most are basic sites.  The club even recommends the basic price a certified site should charge.  The management of the club should come out of the comfort bubble into the real world.

What about the discounted site vouchers?

What sites don’t people want to go to? It’s personal likes and preferences surely. I’ve no desire to go to Burrs no matter how big a discount might or might not be offered.

I breathed a sigh of relief! 🙄🙄😂
