The average I have paid for the 11 nights I have spent on CLs this year has been £13.45p.n. but then I am not interested in bells and whistles. To this must be proportioned my membership subscription which pushes it up to £15.53p.n.

I have happily paid £20 for a good CL.

Whilst £20 per night might give you more facilities it doesn't guarantee it being a "good CL".

It does not mean that it isn't either. To ensure that it meets your requirements can be aided by a little research normally. I don't book based on price.

Well personally I think life is too short to work out proportionate cost of membership every time I go away, but I can't work out how you got that 'proportionate' cost?

The simple way, is cost per day - £54 divided by 366 which is £0.147... per day, so 11 nights will cost £1.62... so where did you get £2.08?

Unless you're doing some other complicated stuff like apportioning membership costs to various things like club sites, insurances...

I agree but why pay £30p.n. if there is an acceptable alternative at half that price.

well it is all about what one considers acceptable, your acceptable may not be anyone else's. One can't be the judge of these things and make that decision for others based on one's own views?  

Anyway for me, acceptable is the bare minimum,  or just OK, as in able to be tolerated or allowed.

Not something I'd want on a holiday?

Sometimes 'acceptable' is an also ran to the best. 🤷🏻‍♂️

so where did you get £2.08?

 I used the cost of Club subscriptions proportioned over all types of Club sites used. (£52 divided by a total of 25 nights)  To proportion the subscription gives the true per night cost.

yes but the daily cost no matter what you do is about 14 pence per day, that is what you're really paying.

To do what you are doing, dividing your subscription by only the nights used is just not logical and doesn't make sense - IMHO of course. You pay £54 whether you use any nights or not.

Just had one night away? Your CL cost is £13.45 + £54/1 = £67.45, would one really think that way?

And of course what about zero nights away? Then the calculation is impossible.

Taking your approach further, also why don't you also work out what your subscription has saved you in your calculations?

I haven't paid any membership fees ever using that.
