Pay as you book

I would happily pay a deposit and have on occasions had to forfeit this when booked in with the C&CC

It is possible that the Caravan Club is not able, or prepared to pay, for a secure method of collecting deposits 

I am happy not to pay a deposit

Thanks for the replies and reasons everyone, it helps to understand how the club and it’s members work. However, if you know that you want to go to a certain destination on a set date then what is the problem in paying “online” in full or placing a deposit. That way, when people look at site availability they get a true reading of what really is or isn’t available.

Cheers!

I book around 120 sites in advance (and use them) if I paid in full probably a\round £2,500 and for me not a problem. For some younger folk wit ha family paying up front when booking ( I bok a couple of weeks before Christmas for the following year including the Christmas week) might be a problem

Fair comment and appreciated EasyT.

I posted '120 sites' I meant 120 nights

We book quite a few dates in advance because of shift work but also because of work we quite often have to cancel at short notice....it is an unavoidable problem with the nature of my job....up to now we have always managed to cancel within the 72 hour deadline ( which is surprising actually) though this year so far we have only had to,cancel 2 weekends.....fingers crossed it lasts to the end of the year

How many younger folk with a family book 120 nights?

Anyway, paying a deposit helps to spread the cost.......it has to be paid sometime.

Thankfully we don't pay deposits and long may that continue! It works!

Sorry but it does not work. You block book then cancel within 72 hours! How is that fair to someone who wants to book a break a week or two before?
