I am a self employed decorator and if I have read some of the replies correctly I wonder if people like myself came to estimate a project at your house and gave a between low and high price what the reply would be, personally I think there is more transparency if the c&cc stuck to the age old principle of pricing even if it meant an increase in price at least you would know and would therefore decide whether to use them or not.

my first price is my only price recession or not

As it should be and therefore you will be someone that folks will return to and recommend to their friends.

Unlike the C&CC who look as if they are out to commit commercial suicide.

Just received this email from them:

You will have now received your new 2014 Your Place in the Country guide and we hope you're already planning your trips away for next year.

All the latest prices will be live on the website from midnight tonight and you can also book through the Contact Centre from 8am tomorrow morning.

You'll have noticed some changes to the way we're pricing Club Sites for next year, which have already provoked some really useful feedback, both positive and negative. Rest assured that our new approach to pricing hasn't been introduced lightly or without consultation with members.

The reason for the changes is to enable us to develop a better campsite network for you in the long term, by being more competitive and responsive, and continuing to be an attractive proposition for campers.

The Great Value stamp (above) will show you the best prices available at the time of booking, so keep an eye out for the stamp on the website, which can help you enjoy a Club Site for less. Promotional deals may also be available from time-to-time.

Read on to find out more about the changes.

Wishing you a really enjoyable 2014 camping season.

Bob Hill, Sites Director

Carbon Monoxide Staying Safe Advice

As a member of the C & C Club and a a pensioner I was appalled by the article in their magazine which was a blatent attempt at a smokescreen to cover up the major price increases and today they have sent us all an email trying to explain their actions.

I have therefore written a strongly worded letter to the director general giving examples of the price increases for 2014 on sites which we have visited during the last couple of years. These amount to between 17% and 33%.

It makes the energy companies seem like nice guys.

I suggest that others do the same

I think that video explains it all perfectly.

If you are looking for good camping at a value for money site, the DON'T use a C&CC Club Site.

It is true that there is flexible pricing in other areas such as rail and air tickets, hotels etc. It doesn't mean I like it though. If it is such a brilliant idea, how come it is just the C & CC that is introducing it into booking camping sites? I sincerely hope it does not work because if it does commercial sites will follow suit and it will make pricing a trip a nightmare

Can you provide a link to what I should look at?

And what are these "so called independent sections of the club"?
