Cancellation Problems

IDC, like you we've had the emails even though we had contacted the club and explained that we had a broken windscreen and they couldn't get a replacement in time to take up our next booking (we were travelling back from the ferry) the club explained that the email is generated automatic and not to worry as they have not put a black mark against us.

Worth remembering that when the Club set up the current system they did say that they would look at the circumstances for cancellations before imposing any sanctions. However they won't do that until a member is at the point where possible sanctions might be involved. As far as the e-mail received is concerned and yes I have had one, it is only a statement of fact and a reminder of the rules. Somepeople seem to read more into it?

That historic phrase "savaged by a dead sheep" comes to mind.

The e mail could be better worded but  I do not understand tbe venom it generates. The three strikes system has apparently reduced cancelations and no shows substantialy and for the inmocent three short notice cancelations in one year is very remote. The answer is just accept it as part of the system and if you want to avoid it ring to cancel and explain. The people on the other end can prevent it going out.
