TW...My mooted idea was that the cost would be built into the site fees...just as the many other 'facilities' the club provide....which in  turn  could be argued against as not required by many of the membership. The fact the pitch has water and waste is irrelevant.

If you look at the take up of pitches on club sites..it doesn't take much to realise that there is a much needed requirement for more serviced pitches..

As for cost ...take a look at most of the commercial sites, nearly all have fully serviced pitches...at less cost than the club.

And...in Europe SP's are virtually the 'Norm'..

You must be going to some very exclusive European sites if SP's are virtually the Norm.

I wouldn't say that SP's are the norm abroad but what I can say, of the ones I've used, I have never paid for them.

Just had a back up note to say they are going to reduce the price whilst the facilities are not available .

Not so 13 to 18 Euros a night depending on the time of year and duration of stay. The newer sites are nearly all serviced other than black waste.

I really cannot see what all the fuss is about other than the price charged when there are no facilities open. If that bothers you don't go or go to a site which does not have facilities and is usually cheaper..

I know of no caravans without toilet facilities of some kind and only 8 percent of motor caravans don't have any, (usually small campervans) therefore for the vast majority, the fact that facility blocks are initially not open should not be a problem.
