It's a bit unfair

I don't think it's self centred at all, no more than someone booking the max stay on a site then moving to another for another max stay and thereby stopping those who work having weekends.

When I worked I booked weekends, quite a few (and I turned up for them) what is wrong with that? I pay the same subscription as everyone else, so why should one section of the membership have more rights than others?

Also, as been pointed out before (was it TDA?) just because weekends are full it doesn't mean that is is only 'weekenders'. When we booked a week or more, we would arrive on the Friday/Saturday and to make the most of our time away we would leave on the Sunday.

The thing is club sites are popular and as said the only way to get a pitch is to book early.

I feel that there should be a maximum number of bookings allowed by any one member in the hope that it might reduce this self centred approach by some!

What number would you suggest, we have 13 CAMC bookings in September / early October alone. As well as several C&CC. Some of those will of course be weekends or parts of weekends. I fail to see how putting together a tour is self centred. It is after all a touring club.

If a restriction was bought in the club would loose my custom, as I would look elsewhere. This year it probably wouldn’t matter to them, as they would easily fill the vacancies. However, once we get back to folk being able to holiday over there, the sites will be much less crowded out of season.

I still get frustrated when people post this same thing over and over

As it has been said you can't book more than one site for a date the system will not let you

There are lots of reasons there are available pitches on sites, especially during a pandemic when lots of sites have had reduced capacity to keep us all safe

My real problem is a club that encourages new members with incentives when they can't give the existing members the availability we deserve.

More pitches and sites is what we need and better value for money

I don’t recall any reduced capacity at the sites we used last September and this May / June. They were all 90% or more full every night.  Well except for Culloden as they couldn’t open the facilities there. 

Several sites had pitches near service points out of use for social distancing purposes

Cant think of anything worse than sitting for hours on end logged on to the CAMC booking site hoping for a cxlation, so that you can have a holiday, perhaps somebody could suggest that within the software they build in a facility to send you a text when a pitch becomes available as a result of a cxlation, and perhaps that is why i never use club sites and have never had difficulty finding alternative sites, mainly because i never tour during peak season July/August.

It would appear despite you being a member for a number of years that you have no understanding of the booking system.

 

If this is aimed at me, your are quite right, cant remember last time i used it, so if it has lept into the 21st century, brilliant,look forward to maybe using it sometime in the future . 

Value for money? ; as posted before ,we had four hired motor caravans on pitches near us at FM and they were all non members so it was an extra £13per night on top of the members prices. they wished they had done it before with prices being so reasonable ,and three were going to make it a regular holiday idea ,as with their holidays it would work out much cheaper to hire and stay on cc sites than buy their motor caravans
