Late availability for CL Sites 2017

Cyberyacht, yes a growing number of CL's are now in communication with each other.  We have an informal group of 350+ CL's and around 100 are 'active' within the group, in the sense that we are in regular contact to share tips and best practice.

Some CL's report that they rarely experience any cancellations, whilst others have had significant issues.  

Of course we all have situation s due to breakdown, illness etc. that prevent a holiday from taking place, or being cut short, but it seems that in some cases Members have simply forgotten their booking, or turned up somewhere else.  

Hence, many CL's are now moving to a Deposit system.  This increases their costs, but does assist them to protect their income stream.  A cancelled booking is 20% of their potential revenue.  A much bigger impact than at a Club site.

Time will tell (with evidence from the data-gathering) how big an issue this is, but I have been surprised by the number of nights lost and the income lost from these late cancellations (less than a week's notice)..

Wow Maddie you have a staff banner 😃.

When you add on behalf of a CL can you please include a link to their site? It is soooo difficult to search on this new website for CL'S as has been reported often on various threads 😉 over the 8 months it's been up and running 😉

She did include a link Bakers. It is so hard to see though. If Bold and Underlined it shows far better. 

Have this one on me! Foothills CL

 Well so she did. No indication at all on my phone. All in black ink. But as a result of your post I did click on foothills, twice, and it did open.

Thanks for the heads up EasyT

As somebody (as I remarked before) that has visual problems I wonder why the staff cannot make their links stand out. All it takes is to highlight them and click on CTRL + B and then CTRL + U. 

When I used to prepare consultation material as a small part of my work I was acutely aware that not all had perfect vision. Not a criticism of Maddie as such but of all such posts and particularly by staff.

sgwilko, thanks for the heads-up. Your site looks to be just the sort we like. Will mark it down for a future visit.

Hi EasyT

Thank you for the feedback, a very valid point raised. I can't speak for all staff posts but I will make sure that mine are clearer in the future.

Thanks

Maddie

Well done on getting the banner at last, Maddie.
