It's definitely worth talking to them.  Many clubs have brewery loans which can tie them to expensive prices.  However, in some cases, it may be possible to rearrange the loan through Matthew Clark so that the terms are more favourable.  It's best to discuss your Club's specific circumstances directly with Matthew Clark, who can explain the options.

If your Club buys relatively small volumes, it may be that the Cash and Carry prices will be cheaper.  But don't forget to include the full cost of going to the Cash and Carry when making a comparison - your time is valuable, and each journey costs you petrol.
