People who claim its 'obscene', must be members (as am i). Theres no obligation to renew memberships. Just saying.

22m quid will not be a huge amount of money in relation to number sites owned, and having to be maintained. I dont like paying silly pitch prices either, but i understand how business works. Hence i only use my membership for CS's. I wouldn't mind betting its more affluent 'cousin' club has an even bigger balance sheet.

We have found that over the past few years that the small private sites are alot better than CL sites and a hell of alot cheaper. We won't be renewing our caravan club membership this year. We only use small sites. Toilets ect are not required. Saves us a few bob

Where are these much cheaper small private sites? Never came across any.

the CCC ACR,"or age concession rate" gives members over age of 60 , a 25% reduction of pitch fees, but not in high season.
but the latest offers announced last week give more discounts, and some of those include high season ,but they only apply to certain sites, at certain
times, on certain pitches,

What a stupid concept, why from the age of 60 do you get a discount these should be open to everybody for the same times and dates regardless of age.
It’s funny because every time I go on a campsite it’s always people aged 60+ Ghat are driving round in 80 grand motorhomes the younger people with families Are usually in older caravans.

There are always exceptions though. There are young people in my street driving brand new cars and pensioners like myself driving a 16 year old car towing a 32 year old caravan. It is probably true that many 80 grand motorhomes are driven by older people, but maybe the younger ones simply don't want that kind of holiday. They prefer to fly to the US or the far east. It is impossible to generalise. Not all pensioners are well off, far from it, nor are all younger people poor.

In any case, I have found that often we can find commercial sites cheaper than club sites, even with our pensioners' discount.

Your right Colin there always is so why not give the midweek out of season discount to everyone, and those with pre school aged kids can also benefit, I’m
Sure many young families are struggling just as much if not more than some pensioners.
