You can now book your sites a year in advance

No reason that I can see that it would be harder than at present unless you really expect 12 'frenzy' days

Nellie, they didn't have the sense before, sticking in their arbitrary break at 3rd January.....'caused havoc' whith this poster's New Year Booking.

after explaining carefully to HO how it made no sense to cut off the week of New Year they obviously sympathised and did exactly the same the next two years.....

sometimes I really do wonder.....

There may be 12 "busy" days, though I doubt that, but there certainly won't be 12 "frenzy" days. With the old system everyone wanting Easter, May BH'S,  July/August, October half term and Christmas/New Year would be competing at the same time along with other special events. Now, unless there are huge numbers wanting to book all those dates,  things will be spread out. It's still no guarantee of getting a particular site at a particular time, but it's likely to be  fairer to those who used to complain that they were working on frenzy day and absolutely couldn't get near a computer.

Still, only time will tell! 

I agree for most of the year but I think there will be a surge for the school summer holidays.  From what I can remember the last week in July and first in August did appear to be the most busiest on sites (we were usually there for three weeks) and some factories around here still have factory fortnight. Now if they aren't linked (July and August) and people want to secure a pitch the club could lose out?

Personally I think it’s a terrible system. I think it should be 1 year and 3 1/4 days in advance, it would suit me better and be so much simpler 😂😂😂😂😂😎

is the 1/4 to compensate for leap years? 

Doesn't make much difference to me, I rarely booked on frenzy day. but it is good it no longer exists. It must also be good that the Club does not to have to provision for it any more.

Hi Steve,

Sites with planned redevelopments may be put on sale earlier or later than the rest of the network. At present the sites we are planning to undertake work on in 2019, which may result in them opening later than usual, are: Cadeside, Cambridge Cherry Hinton, Camelford, Chatsworth Park, Commons Wood, Ilfracombe, Merrose Farm, Modbury, Northbrook Farm, Penrhos, Plymouth Sound, Scarborough West Ayton, Sutton-on-Sea, Tewkesbury Abbey and Tredegar House however this work is subject to planning and these sites may change.

Chatsworth can be booked from 15 March 2019.  

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I've forwarded the discussions over to the sites team for their feedback regarding booking hardstanding pitches and we appreciate people sharing their views and opinions which we value at the Club. 

A couple of posts have been removed to keep the discussion on track regarding advance booking and we appreciate people's understanding on this matter.  

• Ro, perhaps a suitable comment on the booking page of any of the above sites might be the most relevant place for someone looking to book?
