You can now book your sites a year in advance

it will come as well, a few sites already have this, Edinburgh being one

What will be next - copying the C&CC with escorted pitching and industrial sized waste bins emptied by contractors?

Some sites already have. Impossible for short arses or anyone not a weightlifter to use, so stuff gets left on the ground for the crows/seagulls/dogs/foxes/badgers/children to play with.

Quite a few of the sites are like Corners, think its probably the fact they don't have any grass pitches  why they are displayed that way who knows.

Edinburgh is a bit strange and/or unique in the club that it has five different booking pitches sections, grass with and without awning, HS with and with out awning and service pitches, but it seems the grass pitches are full or more likely out of service? And if that wasn't enough you can arrive from 9am

Out of curiosity I looked at other Scottish sites, choice of Grass or Hard-standing at Culloden 87 in total 12 of them grass and Maragowan 95 in total 13 grass, the grass choice blanked out just now so assume out of commission. 

Some sites just say awning or non awning like New England Bay which has only 16 H/S out of 155 pitches but no choice of type.

Some sites it just states Hardstanding Awning or non awning so guessing all site must be H/S 

Clearly one has to be very careful if they want to avoid grass.

Indeed - I've got A levels in it

"Clearly one has to be very careful if they want to avoid grass."

I've been very careful given the poor weather recently......

Just packing the van this afternoon ready for off in the morning......

Three sites booked over the forthcoming week........

One is Camping Club, two are commercials, all allow me to pre-book a H/S......

Its only about £180 the club have lost, peanuts to them I know......

Can I ask if you would have chosen a club site if a HS booking was available?

Have a good trip

The site we are on is nearly full this weekend,on the available pitches

Can I ask if you would have chosen a club site if a HS booking was available?

Yes, had 2 club sites booked from Frenzy day or thereabouts....

One a mixed site grass & H/S, the other all grass. 

Site 1 C& CC had a nearby site to the CC one and allow pre booking of H/S, so have done thanks.....and from memory it was a pound a night cheaper for what that's worth....

Site 2 -CC- all grass- as the date has approached, and it's rained regularly, have cancelled the CC site & re-booked with a commercial site that could actually be bothered to toss a bit of gravel down for me to park on, and a bit closer to town.....

The site we are on is nearly full this weekend,on the available pitches

Nearly, so it's not full then..?

Available,  grass pitches out of service then..?

Often said on here, if what the Club is offering doesn't suit you, go elsewhere.  Five or ten years ago I wouldn't of bothered looking elsewhere, but the club has failed IMO to keep pace with customer expectations of choice, and is well behind the curve in providing all weather surfaces that take into account peoples desire to use their leisure vehicles over a longer season.

It makes little  odds to me where I spend my cash, but as a loyal fan of the CC I am a little sorry to see them lose my cash, and yes I know, the sites are full so they don't care, but if they used our cash to invest in providing more pitches and choice of H/S, they might get even more cash coming in......?
