It's a bit unfair

I have been a club member for some years now and I am growing more and more frustrated with the ongoing situation of members block booking different sites for the same dates and failing to turn up. I know the club does not charge a booking fee and long may this continue but to block book sites on the same date and then fail to turn up at the site has seen an increase of fully booked sites when in reality they would have spare pitches. If only members would do the decent thing by cancelling any other bookings made for that date. This is especially evident around bank holidays and Easter. Now that the club is fully open and we all wish to get away from this awful lock down, I wish to ask all members to do the right thing and cancel any unused bookings that they do not need. I am sure that if the club were to start charging a booking (non refundable) fees this situation would end overnight. Thank you in advance.

Generally speaking families normally step up to the proverbial plate when help is needed for their own members. So I wouldn't personally suggest to anyone on here what they should or shouldn't do.

It's great if you are free to choose holidays ad lib but I expect there are quite a few who have to alter plans, book and rebook to suit life events, caring duties, illness etc etc. So back on thread I don't think the system needs changing as we all might need the flexibility at any given point.

That's my three "whatsit" worth as I think the present system just about works for most. CAMC could adopt the C&Cc approach and have minimum bookings at peak times which would probably curtail serial speculative bookings, if they exist?
