Carping can be as expensive or as cheap as you want it from a tackle and bait perspective... however... from a Day ticket/ Syndi angle, owners mightily take the pee
A syndi I joined one year for £250, the following year went up to £400 because the owner stocked 2 x 30's... its now over £500 a year for an irrigation pool with very little in the way of "Facilities"
I fish club waters now, as they provide much better value for money...👍😎🎣
