I phoned the club this morning we were booked for 3 weeks from 8th June, the wife received a phone call due to a cancellation she could have a surgery on the 15th June, we were unable to give 3 weeks notice, the club were very understanding and issued us a voucher to be used against our next booking.

Good to hear, I hope this is the way forward.

As I posted in the other thread it's not going to make any real difference up to about four or five nights, but will make a significant difference on a one, two or longer tour. I suppose it's these 'bookers' that the club is after.

A 10% deposit and the free 21 day cancellation period must be now one the best T&Cs around for club comparable sites?

I’m not bothered wether is 10% , 20% or 50% , the holiday has got to be paid for , it just means I pay less when I arrive at the site

Could be, Corners, as I’ve just read elsewhere of a voucher refund issued as the member has suffered a bereavement.

I think you'll be paying the same...the pitch fees haven't been reduced. But you might not lose as much if you have to cancel and I'm glad to hear vouchers are offered in certain circumstances although I presume the deposit is still lost?

We still don’t know why this reduction has been introduced. I assume, it is because forward bookings are not as expected. 

However, I doubt this will be explained. It is not unreasonable for members of a club, who have paid their subscriptions, to ask why this change has been made. It’s not just that the “expected responses” (what ever they may be), are replying. 

Asking for some information from a club we are members of, is not necessarily a criticism.

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the voucher would be equal to the deposit lost? Perhap OM can come back and give better details?

The way the club is run is that decisions are made on our behalf without any consultation and explanations being necessary, being a member has no bearing on it, and all 'we' can do is not to buy what's on offer if we don't like it. I don't have any problems with that.

It may also be commercially sensitive business information in some way that the club doesn't want its competitors to know about or why it has made that decision?

The reduction makes business sense to someone who thought it up and who ever approved it. Will it affect anyone in a negative sense who makes a booking? I can't think of anything?
