Email regarding price increases

Aye, we are two and a dog as well. Have a great time, it’s a lovely area. We have stayed at Garlieston, many years ago. We toured around this time in our small MH, luckily finding some very good Aire type stopovers, which made it really cheap for us. We did have four lovely nights on a £20 per night CL as well, so you can tell how cheap some of our nights were £0-£20. All legal, no wild camping👍

house? you were lucky to live in a house .... we used to ..... 😉

As it happens, over a year ago now, I landed up one day (by some querk) in a telephone conversation with a senior Club member of staff, with me suggesting it was time the Club woke up and recognised that we are facing an environmental climate crisis of epic proportions.

Should the Club therefore move into the 21st century and introduce pitch electric meters, I suggested? It has long irked me that with my small caravan, I am subsidising what I call the 'bungalows on wheels', the size of articulated trucks some of them, which use electricity for a whole range of luxurious uses. I have my own views of these but aside from that, the environmental impact of such rigs makes me shiver.

I've stayed on European sites that have such electric metering and with modern computer technology they work very well. They make caravanners think whether those outside/awning lights on all night are really necessary. And yes those horrendous Xmas illuminations that some absolutely plaster their vans with at certain times of year. And don't call me a miserable so and so. Cause we are on the road to wiping out human life on this planet! 

That member of staff totally dodged my suggestion and diverted the discussion to talking about installing electric car chargers on sites. But didn't mention that meters would be necessary for these! 

So I despair of the Club on these issues. Wake up and do something re this crisis. Limp wristed e-mail responses about increasing energy prices are 100% inadequate for the crisis we face. Face up to the fact that the days of 'to hell with it' energy consumption have to end and the Club needs to ensure those who use their sites who won't face that should pay more for their selfishness.

Apart from anything else, the alternative will be a Caravan Club pricing itself into extinction and helping to take the rest of us with it! 

How things change, we joined the club because for the price,and quality of  facilities, compared to private sites ,the club was far cheaper, now private sites are less expensive, just as good , and in some cases far better 
Excluding the site mangers; from my recent contact experience of the club ,the club has become top heavy with staff, many that have no real world experience of touring 

Hi we booked in June for August bank holiday in Great Yarmouth to see the family on holiday

just added a extra day and the price has risen we joined caravan and camping much cheaper especially if you are a senior also we are looking at privately owned sites now or 5 van sites for next year
