The next announcement???

Not at all happy David that you should apparently think that being a motorhomer would mean that it was any more important that you be able to book hard stand than myself as a caravanner. 

So if they release July and August together folk will be booking next years holiday before they have even taken this. Many with no idea if they will be able to get the time off work. 🤔 We generally avoid these months except perhaps for a week so will have little affect. However, for those that need multiple weeks in these peak months, there is going to be the issue of do we book and hope, how long dare we leave it. As the cancelation policy remains the same, the default will probably be to book early and cancel if work holidays are not obtained.

Yes I think you're right. as I said those who know their holidays far in advance (I mentioned teachers but there are others and certainly retired folk) will benefit more. And yes as you say will this lead to more 'book and hope' bookings?

PS is 'book and hope' fake news for speculative bookings?

Yes but I was using that as an illustration of the sort of phrase the Club would come up with, personally I want everyone to be able to book a hardstanding. 

......and me, please! 

David

Thanks for the link.

Although it’s true that the club can’t hope to please all of the members all of the time, this has to be a step forward and should help many.

Wifi, too, is being improved and may now be worth the money. I see several remote Scottish sites now have a hotspot where they had nothing before.

It's all good news.

I think that it will disadvantage more than it helps TinW.

As for hotspots - they hold no interest for me at all. I have used one once on a site with a cafe where I had a pot of tea whilst checking some info but used it for 20 mins when staying 6 nights. Would I pay for such a service? Would I heck as like. Just use my mifi.

That has me chuckling remembering a fast food outlet many years ago on the road from Leeds to York that had a large sign on a pillar above a very small table. The sign read "WiFi now available here".  However, I could not get any wifi signal at all so I asked a waitress, who replied with the usual Yorkshire charm that I was sitting in the wrong place. "Can you not see the sign?  It's big enough."

She was right though.  The only place one could get the wifi was indeed there - at that one table!

Why is everyone being negative? Things may not be perfect but it’s surely a move in the right direction. Let’s try it and see. Glass half full, eh?

surely a move in the right direction.

Why?
