I've always thought 72 hours was too short. A week is far more realistic to dissuade speculative bookers.
I've mapped out an itinerary for about a months tour to Scotland although I have, as yet, booked nothing because I'm uncertain at the moment of my departure date. The itinerary is a bit fluid and I'm uncertain even when the departure date becomes certain where I'll be a any given point. That makes it difficult to book ahead unless I blanket booked numerous alternatives, cancelling unrequired ones as the journey progressed. Would such a course of action, although 'rule compliant' be fair on others?
Posted on 05/05/2021 16:33 by peedeeThe only time I book months ahead is when I know there is an event I particularly want to be at, otherwise I very much book as the mood and destination takes me and am not at all bothered if there are no pitches available on Club sites. Nine times out of ten I will book elsewhere. Even with the 4 night booking I mentioned early when I accepted just the three nights I have a motorhome stopover contingency in place for the 4th night just a few miles away just in case.

Not the way it comes across PD upthread, and it appears you use them a lot from earlier other threads and your first choice was the club site at Sandringham?
So why are you wanting the club to introduce deposits if you are not bothered?
Posted on 05/05/2021 17:29 by peedeeI am not that bothered thatI will wait for cacellation..

Sorry PD lost me there? It doesn't answer my question (about wanting deposits if you are not bothered about not getting a pitch?)
But moving on if you had deposits, as you want, there might not a cancellation to pick up as I explained? The system appears to work for you.

One of the very puzzling things i and am sure others on CT and those that also lurk around CT seems to be the often posted by some of the way things are run and amount of space they find,when booking sites is they never post what is so different or where any of these sites are , it does make for a figment of their imagination, and in these days "doctored pictures"
