Leaving club

Exactly why do some of the membership continually knock the booking system that is available to every single one of us to use how it was designed to be used. 

You book a site , then you have the ability to cancel or rearrange your dates accordingly with the extremely generous 72hour rule if & when you need too.

Again it's another case of members who don't get what they want, when they want... blaming the club system. 

We are members of the C&CC too, I wish their terms & conditions for booking were so flexible & changeable on line. 

Completely agree, Compass. The people who want changes are probably the ones who aren't proactive in their booking habits and don't appreciate the flexibility we have. Those who want to change the system to something like the C&CC one should be very careful what they wish for.

It's the ease of booking and amending that makes CAMC the club of choice for me. If the booking arrangements were the same, I’d use C&CC more and get the old folks discount. In fact, I’d probably bin this club.

So you are one of those 'weekenders' that's stopping me including a weekend in my 7 day trips, just look at it from the other side of the coin 'jcal'. As yet there is not a system to please all, but CAMCs is the better option in fairness by giving everyone the option to book their preferences or needs early, and at the same time.

I'm not sure by leaving exactly where you are going that has an improved fair for all system, or is it sour grapes by not getting what you want, when indeed you could have.

A good compromise might be to charge deposits for all bookings made say more than a month in advance??????? Would that not give those that for what ever reason cannot make positive commitments way in advance a better chance of obtaining bookings.???? It would obviously depend on how much of a damper a deposit system puts on advanced bookings.

There are a few people suggesting using CLs, which are often reasonably priced when there is more than one person but for single people, they tend to work out more expensive than a Club Site, for  fewer facilities and (what is important to me, no dog walk).  For the odd night or for visiting an area where I have a specific reason for visiting, they can be very useful, but from an economical veiwpoint, I would prefer to stay at a Club Site.

Once upon a time people on here complained about the booking day (early December was it?) and how it would be great to have a rolling booking system for the year ahead. When the system changed I remember posting how long would it be before there were complaints about that.

Now we have the OP saying it is this rolling system that is causing the 'problem'. However the same weekenders issue and not getting a pitch were there even under the old system. The real 'problem' (as stated by the club) is that club sites are popular and continue to be so, perhaps even more under the current situation.

The OP should perhaps use the system as it is now and book early.

That would only discourage the serial bookers/cancellers if the deposits were non-refundable.

Well it would have to be a system where it wasn't easy to get your deposits back CY otherwise it would be worthless and only lead the Club into worthless admin.

I don't think the rolling system solved anything to do with speculative bookings and at the time it was being muted I pointed out a deposit system would be necessary. I still beiieve that to be the case.
