When we had three children in tow the cost of them did add up considerably and it did restrict our touring to some extent. I find it difficult to justify the charge for children at anything more than a minimal figure as what do they cost the club.

The only thing they use that we do not is play equipment and given the cost split between the numbers this is minor. So on top of that there is a bit of electricity and water, which cannot cost anywhere near the full charge, so it probably benefits the club to attract people with children at a very low cost to help fill some sites and keeps membership numbers higher than they would otherwise be.

You also have to try and replace members leaving for the future good of the club and children who have learned the benefits of touring are our best bet. Any organisation that puts obstacles in the way of the next generation is doomed.

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.
