is the Club about touring or static holidays?     ----------  Static Holidays

K 

I find no problem in pre-booking. If I wanted to change plans on the move with CC sites it would not be a problem. 

I doubt that there are many organisations that do not welcome pre-booking. A while back, probably 7 years ago, there were several good meal venues that did not permit prebooking for less than 12 people in our area. As I would regularly book meals for 6 to 8 people (often adding later) it meant that I never used those venues. Would not wish to arrive with say 9 people and be waiting an hour for seating to be sorted. 

I've just come across this thread and yet again I'm staggered at the amount of people who immediately get on the caravan verses motorhome argument. Without trawling through every grumbling post I shall just say that I read the original post as the club was annoyed with motorhomes/caravanners  booking for a couple of days and therefore denying the club of more revenue for a whole weeks booking.

When I joined this "club" I was expecting to get good advice along with lots of good natured banter, that I have experienced with other forums. Such a shame that it's all ...........well,...........so boring

I'm positive that I'm not alone with this train of thought. I appreciate that there are members on here that have been members since Noah was a lad, but c'mon people stop being so gloomy!.

Sorry , needed to get that off my chest. Rant button now switched off

Must disagree that its all so boring, the advice given is second to none and as for the rest you just take it, leave it, join in or opt out.

When our children were young, they are now in their late forties,it was far easier to go where we wanted at short notice during the "peak" periods,but since the "explosion" of leisure vehicle sales, and now in the UK what seems a shortage of pitches,especially in the more popular holiday destinations,then booking is very much needed both here and over there, to save on the already, it seems, high stress levels of modern day living

If one books Fridays and Saturdays for a tour (also bank hols) I doubt one would go far wrong. 

Oh believe me I'm well aware of the choices, and I agree,  tech advice is excellent.

well, this thread has got me somewhat worried about my future holidays. I bought a van because this is all I can do now that my wife has a brain injury so joined both clubs to get good sites to stay at, but  I cannot book in advance as soon as they open the books as don.t know how she will be at that particular time and I think I will struggle to get a site because of the selfish diehards that have their finger ready on the button, so will have to hope private sites can accommodate us or just sell up and live a life of misery sat at home.

There is normally not a problem booking most sites,yes there are one or two that are very popular,and a few that are busy at w/ends,but in the years we have been members,  can probably count on one hand the times when a phone call to the site we would like to visit has not resulted in a booking being accepted,even at short notice ,there is a lot of "fake news" that probably comes from a disgruntled few who did not get the odd booking

"...... because of the selfish diehards that have their finger ready on the button...."

I don’t see that as selfish, LL, and it’s not a nice thing to say about fellow club members. It’s what the system allows and the opportunity is the same for everyone. It’s a shame your circumstances don't allow you to book ahead but that’s not due to anything others do.

I doubt you'll have much of a problem getting pitches providing you are prepared to be flexible and avoid peak times.
