You can now book your sites a year in advance

Rowena,

Thank you for showing us the courtesy, (of some sort of explanation), as to why posts have been Deleted User, it makes for a more cordial atmosphere...

As someone who does 150+ away nights each year. Some wild whilst fishing, a mix of Cl, CC and commercial sites I believe I have a good grasp of the quality of sites. LMP certainly comes low down the list, but other CC sites I find excellent. ie Brecon,Hawes etc. I wonder if some who have rose tinted glasses actually  visit those sites that are below par.

It is 4 years since I last visited Lady Margaret's. The block was dated but I had no problem with 'dated'

I visited Lady Margaret's about 12 months ago. As above, dated but perfectly adequate & clean.

I understand the club's both have a rolling programme of refurbishment of facility blocks and sites and as they have between them 300 plus sites,  it is a bit diferent to most comercial organisations who have just a few ,so a couple of sites that are getting near their refurbishment dates are not a problem I would think for most members , we most years do over 150 nights away both club and some commercial also have been known to use cls, so i think we can say we have used a "few"facility's each year and not found any that have been as bad as one or two try to make out they are,except for one CL in Cornwall 

When we were members we did occasionally visit CC sites  (never at high season rates). Whilst I never thought there were spacious they were always clean but did vary from dated to modern. We recently visited  a C&CC site and an ex CL. I found the former to be much more spacious and the latter has raised the quality bar to another level.

So whilst CAMC cleanliness is still guaranteed I would say that when designing new blocks the designers need to throwaway the old plans and look around at the competition.

David, good post and several posters have liked it....i just think it's worth emphasising again that this is a very popular issue with much support among CT members.

i didn't get to visit one of the trial sites so had no opportunity to be confused...however, I just don't see it being anymore 'difficult' than managing an 'awning' or 'service pitch' booking, but there you go...

with this current change to the booking system, I think the club missed a great chance to include the pitch type attribute, something which just about all the competition have had in place for a good while now...

i really hope the club get to look at this again and, as you say, carry it through the whole network rather than just the tiny sample as last time...

again, good post 

Then the "problem" of individual design puts up costs when the main structure of the buildings are sound,

 I did mention new buildings not existing buildings.

The question is would you prefer for them to still carry on using a  out dated design.
