What is your preference for the future

Over the years I have been using CT I have seen many complaints, some have been made repeatedly and strike a cord with quite a few posters. Members’ requirements seem to be changing as is the technology employed in pursuing our hobby. The list below is not exhaustive but I think generally reflects the posts I have seen.

a)      Not enough economy pitches especially with hard standing

b)      We should be able to book hard standing

c)      We should  be able to pitch whatever way round we like

d)     Where access allows abolish arrival times

e)      We should be able to reserve a pitch

f)       We should have pitches with electricity meters

g)      There should be more serviced pitches

h)   Awning pitches should be charged at a higher rate

i)    Introduce  booking deposits

j)    72 hour cancellation period too short, increase it

k). The December release of bookings is unfair, abandon release dates

l)      Restrict weekend booking

Please don’t debate the issues in this thread, if you search hard enough you can find threads on the above where you can carry on the debate but if you had to put them in priority for the club to action what would be your top three priorities in your order of preference?

There is always room for improvement so please don't just say you accept the status quo.

Got to say I disagree with most of these so I suggest this is your list not the majority of members.

I do concur with B. C & D though.

Agree Peedee your list is issues that seem to be discussed a lot of the time, in fact with some its as though they are on a loop!

Which B & C is that, the letters are repeated Undecided

These two though should be top of the list.

Introduce  booking deposits.

72 hour cancellation period too short, increase it.

Top B and G equal first. Fairly neutral about the rest, they can stay as they are as far as I am concerned.

of course it is my list MT, as I said it is what I have observed over the years. Obviously if you don't agree with some points they won't be top of your list.

 Sorry about the error, please read as follows.

i)      Introduce  booking deposits

j)      72 hour cancellation period too short, increase it

k)      The December release of bookings is unfair, abandon release dates

l)        Restrict weekend booking

To me only "k" would matter, but not for me personally, for others.

a) is a bit contradictory in suggesting "economy" should have hard standing.

A new fully functioning forum?

In the OP there are 2 x A, 2 x B and 2 x C....and no 'K' as mentioned in the last post!

Economy will never be hard standing. It is just a patch of grass. As for the rest they all have followers and detractors and I think possibly the only thing that people agree on is we need more sites.
