Brings me back to the point I keep making, apparently to deaf ears. I
accept that, by and large, CCers pay less to BW than those who pay
for a mooring that includes an element handed over to BW. The
proposal is to adjust this by adding £150 to the CC licence. This
will leave those on moorings not including such an element still
advantaged.
It would be better all round for BW to remove that (estimated 9%)
element from mooring charges and increase all licences by an amount
which recovered that revenue. That way, all would pay the same to BW,
and we'd get away from these barmy arguments about marginal cost of
cruising the system, cost of providing moorings, cost of providing
water points and so on.
All the best
