The first time I have ever posted my opinion on the forum, and I feel that I am being treated as an idiot. I maybe have been a little critical of a decision made by the committee, by pointing out that they may have overlooked fairness in their decision over the pricing of the leisure facilities. Maybe this is a coincidence, but I have received an email, just a few hours after making the post advising that I must query any charges at least 48 hours prior to arrival.
I would just like to point out that I have not refused to pay the charge. I merely pointed out that the charge should be per head, depending upon the number of beds are in each unit, and not a flat rate. Effectively meaning that those owners of the units that sleep 8 pay the same as the units that sleep 2. In my post I never said that I will not pay the charge, but I feel that maybe the committee should have put a bit more thought into their thinking over this.
Or maybe the majority of the committee own the larger units and are actually self serving rather than representing all owners???
How strange!!
I think you may find it is possibly just a coincidence this email arrived. I received it too and I would think every other owner would.
There is nothing wrong at all in offering an opinion or to offer criticism. Sometimes it is the only way for a voice to be heard and because of quite a few concerned voices over the last few years changes are happening which may not be to everyone's liking, including mine, but for the club to prosper, I am not against paying, similar to you.
On your other point unfortunately I would have to disagree as I believe per unit is the fairest way to charge for facilities. You could have someone in an 8 sleeper not using, but 2 people in studios using every day.
I may not use facilities, but I would pay for others to enjoy their break here if it helps.

In principle I do not object to the standard per lodge charge, however i do object to it being sprung on everyone. I think that the rise in fees and addition of leisure facility fees should have been announced to all the owners prior to the invoices coming out. I have to say that as a slight aside, i am finding the generic letters from 'The Committee' quite offensive. Whilst I appreciate that some members may not be paying their fees or whatever other issues seem to be occurring at the moment, I would prefer to be addressed directly and privately should the need arise ( I do pay my fees !!)
I am however in this beautiful place for the next week - so happy holibobs to me
