JasmineAnders Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 30 days notice is ridiculous. As motorcaravanners we tend to book a few sites for a holiday. But the C & CC charge £25 deposit per site. So if you have to cancel under 30 days it is going to prove very expensive. Many of us are in the "older" age groups which unfortunately often brings more medical problems. And this can mean short notice appointments. A couple of years ago a C & CC holiday site manager said to me that he was gald to be retiring. He said that he thought the Club had lost its friendly club image- it had just become money orientated. I feel that unless the Club amends this new policy then they are going to lose a lot of members. They need to have an immediate rethink. How sad that our enjoyable hobby is now coming to this.

747 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 So let me get this straight. The new C&CC pricing policy means I would probably be better off going to a price comparison site to change my Gas and Electric supplier. 8-) Life is just getting too complicated for me these days. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeti Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 As far as I am concerned I have been paying taxes since 1966 and the concessions from Government agencies are payback,especially as I can't claim for meals,houses and 'secretarys'! With regards to membership fees of the clubs,we do not receive any benefits as you would in a normal club unless of course you treat insurance 'deals' and 'cheap' credit cards as benefits,we certainly do not derive any benefit from using club sites. I prefer to use small CL and CS type sites knowing that my fees are going towards the site owner and not to some bloated 'suit; down South!

Mind you it is not infallible so do check the actual rates on offer prior to committing to switch! Simples enough for even me to use!! Well as I said earlier as I'm on an online tariff and cannot ( nor can the Scottisj power call centre ) access my details to find out exactly which one I'll have to leave it till later on, but I will give it a go, thanks. No disrespect but I assume you do get an invoice every now and then. This will clearly show what you are currently paying. Web sites will only show the current payment rates, you may be on an older one which is still running. The other suggestion before you start shopping around is to find out exactly what your new costs will be as these may not be the same as what is indicated by media etc. Plus comparison websites show a number of costs but again these are based on the 'official' numbers and you may do better yourself. Plus the figures shown may change quick enough after you have signed up. Making 1 step forward to go 2 back is not always the answer. No I'm on the new kid on the block, paperless billing. all by email, or online ;-) just a pity both their website, and call centre systems have crashed. 8-) Personally having had a mooch around the savings are not that great, think I'll keep my blood pressure low and forget it. ;-) So your last email invoice was probably a pdf file and is on your computer somewhere.. I believe most Companies send these out 2 times per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have the option to login to my account and download or print off directly from the website, but I have just found the last one I did print off and I'm on the online21 tariff, now I just need some time to compare the other 92 tariffs they list, or blow my brains out, the latter idea seems much more attractive........as someone said " the illusion of choice" what a load of...................

Paul, I usually get them from the net, campingintheforest.co.uk I think, although the one thing I remember about them was that they were very high at certain times of the year almost to the point of being prohibitive. Remember that prices are the same (from memory :-o for a tent, a caravan or a MH and that you get no EHU at most, although we wouldn't need it.

colin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Robinhood - 2013-10-16 9:16 PM ....my suspicion is that the wording applies to those people whose cards currently do not carry the "age concession" wording, and will be at least 55 by 21st July 2014. From my experience, it was always the practice to get the (existing, non-endorsed) card stamped on first use after age 55. The stamping was recorded and notified to head office, and subsequent cards were issued with the concession recorded (printed) on them (at least mine have been). If you get a card stamped/endorsed before July 2014, I would expect subsequent cards on renewal to be issued with the endorsement. I may, of course, be wrong. ;-) After talking to C&CC staff at NEC I've had to fill in a request to head office to get it sorted, at first they told me it would be automatically updated, so I showed them my last two cards which hadn't been. They also believe that any new member joining after 1st jan will not get age concession until 60, but an existing should get it if they are 55 before july2014, but once again this has had to go off for verification.

Had email from the club this week in response to my query about prices of Forest sites. The response is 'prices for Forest sites have not yet been finalised and should be available by mid-January', that's good innit!! so the book was published before actually being ready.
