CL Sites Late Availability in 2020

Harry

I think the Facebook group you're referring to is CLBooking where members looking for pitches are matched up with CL owners with free pitches.  It's working very well at the moment with lots of happy members .

Yes I was referring to the CL Booking site. It's so easy to misconstrue posts by the omission of vital words. At least you put it right.

I have just posted a reply on the Slaterford Dam post in support of the CL Booking site's growing popularity

Hello - The map has been updated at the end of July with information from 210 CLs on availability in August & September

CG, the link isn't working. I have asked for a mod to make the original post containing the map with a working link to be made a sticky, but no joy so far.😞

Edit...

Have you lost some from last month's list, as it had 215 members listed?

Moderator Edit:

Apologies - only just seen this.  Thread now sticky.

Nellie - thanks for the update and new link.  As you know i's impossible to edit CT posts after the event, and I go distracted by the arrival of one of my visitors.

With regard to your point about 215 being listed last month and 210 this month

The CL Owners Group is actually going from strength to strength, but many CLs are reporting that they are completely full over the coming months and that a presence on the map would simply lead to 'None' being displayed and it was therefore pointless for them to be listed.

I'm pleased to say a handful of brand-new CLs have joined and are on the map.

FYI the Club (in their wisdom and with no consultation) have decided not to print the 'Booking Diary' issued to CLs for the past 20+ years.  So expect some CLs to be overbooked / less organised in 2021 as they struggle with 'home made' systems..  We have tried to get them to reverse this decision, but no joy.

Yet another indication that HO are less and less interested in CLs as a whole. They are now so far behind with updating information on new and closed sites I wonder how many of those that used to work in that section are still employed there. They do not realise that there are many members who would leave the "Club" completely if it were not for CLs.

As a CL owner and to balance this comment, the club has sent the diary out in an electronic format instead and owners can print themselves if required. 

Times have changed over the last 20 years with more and more CLs offering very efficient on line booking.

Let’s keep this thread to late availability booking please! 

Just to clarify we are both correct!  
The club have issued electronic diaries not printed diaries this year.
