hi fellow members, am I the only one to find booking a site now to expensive. after 45 years of caravav/motorhome camping with the club I am now relegated to booking January  or November as this is just affordable at 73 years old on a pension.trying to book for 2019 is a nightmare as i cant afford many days in july. pensioners need help, I don't want to pack it in yet but its close. love sandringham site as I try to get as many times as I can but each year it gets less. maybe ill win the lottery, happy camping.

As a ps, edit buttons disappeared.

 

Just in case anyone from the organisation is reading and is interested in what motivates a person to join,

 

I would like to also add, being only interested in UK sites, on the basis of why we joined this week (Sandringham site) there is no guarantee from us we will use any more sites other than the one for next week, this could very well be a one off as we have used some stunning commercial sites and for some we are repeat visitors.

Cost isn't an aspect we factor in, we have paid almost £40 a night for just the two of us and the dog, but the product for our needs was almost perfect. (Needed a jack hammer to put the awning pegs in).

As I said previously, the "Club" aspect, plus other add on products, wasn't a factor.

W&M, the edit button only remains active for a short while after you post. About 10 mins, I think.

I suspect many will agree with you that it’s a product and, if it's one we like, we pay the membership fee. I joined for the sites network and, although I have used the ferry booking service and insurance, that’s neither here nor there to me.
