Pay as you book

This is so frustrating! Why is it that some sites are fully booked all year?

I am a new member to the CC but have friends who have been with the club for years who say that members block book and then cancel within 72 hours if the weather isn't to their liking. I know where I want to go and regardless of the weather I don't mind paying up-front for the privalage unless there is a complication. If this is true, it seems a bit unfair. After all, I wouldn't book a flight and cancel if it was raining in another country and not expect some sort of penalty!?

but you cannot cancel within 72 hours without action being taken. If you are seen to do this then your forward bookings will be cancelled.

Only after 3 cancellations I believe?

Restricting the amount of bookings any one person can make would be the easiest and (IMO) fairest way to prevent people booking every summer weekend on spec then cancelling them. For those who wanted more bookings - for example to form a tour- they could just ring direct and the club could override the system. 

Sounds fair to me.
