Booking Abuse!

Well, of course, you can use statistics to prove anything. Even from 62 sites, 93 cancellations is a mere 1.5 per site (put it another way, 91.3% of the bookings appear as if they are going to be honoured!) - and given that the weather forecast seems reasonably favourable for this weekend there is little evidence to support the claim that the majority of these cancellations are down to that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the CC system is anything like perfect, but it does seem to me to work pretty well in the vast majority of cases. CY has made an excellent suggestion for tweaking the system to deal with the small number of "late" cancellations. 

...How many of the pitches that appeared on the 8th march were put back into the system by site staff,for what ever reason?

None, do you know otherwise?

Yes, I will post the graph on Thursday morning when it is clearer how many have been re-booked. there are signs some have already been snapped up. If you try and put a monetary value on those cancellation it is not an inconsiderable amount of loss to the Club if that is happening every weekend over the year! Conservatively it is in excess of £100,000

I'd guess, though, that the vast majority of those are re-sold. There must be many others out there, like us, who don't often book ahead for short trips but regularly snap up these late availability pitches when circumstances permit. I'm sure that's particularly so from, say April through to October.  Therefore the monetary loss to the club is maybe not as great as it might appear.

Not so sure the vast majority are snapped up all the time but I do agree it is probably the case during times of better weather..

...Are you saying you have access to the last minute cancelations or are the late availability figures what you are working on, which will also include wardens putting posibly a couple of damaged/under maintainance pitches in for the w/end,

Which would give more flexibility for their dicretion for a later dep for a few if req

The number of damaged/repaired pitches being brough back into service, if any, will be small and is unlikely to effect the figures.
