We have not been on a rally for sometime and decided to try one this year. We are still required to send a deposit cheque to book a rally. The organisers of the rally insisted that you write out the full name "The Caravan & Motorhome club - XXXXXX centre". You have to be very lucky to get all of that in on the "To" line if you have bad handwriting. Surely using C&MC - XXXX centre woudl suffice? Unfortunately our cheque was refused as I had not put "centre" after the name of the centre as I could not fit it all in.
Actually I thought that we no longer had a cheque book until the wife mentioned she had seen one when moving some stuff around recently after Xmas. It had not been used for several years. Surely in this day and age centre rallies could move into the 21st century and find a different way to get a deposit payment like using Paypal or similar? After all you can book a main CC site without a deposit, but a rally insists that a deposit is paid! We are quite happy to pay the full amount upfront.
We can accept paying a deposit and have no objection except to the method of paying this small deposit using an outdated cheque book. Plus you need to remember that you have cheque outstanding and it may be "outstanding for months before it is submitted to the bank.
Surely there has to be a better way of booking rallies?
