Hi everyone,

Looking to book for 2019? Right now, you can book up to and including 31 March 2019. We've changed the way we put UK Club site pitches on sale so you can now book up to a year ahead, all year round. All you need to remember is whichever month we are in, you can book up to and including the same month next year. Find out more: Improving your Club experience and on our FAQs.

If Lady Margaret Park is not included for urgent upgrade I hate to think what state those earmarked are in. No wonder we go elsewhere.

 There are better shower blocks around, but I would disagree about needing an urgent upgrade. They are perfectly usable.

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.

Rowena

Thanks for the update and also passing on to the site team about booking hardstandings. We have never really had a comprehensive answer as to why the previous experiment either failed or proved inconclusive. There were vague mutterings about it being confusing to members which caused problems for wardens in trying to explain the change. I think what the Club should do is to make a decision on whether they want to go down the road of booking surface type. If the answer is no then they need to explain why. If it is something they want to put in place it has to be done network wide not on a few sites. If our main competitors the C&CC and the majority of commercial sites, that have a mix of pitch surface types, allow booking of the various pitch types it seems the CMC are somewhat behind the curve on this?

  • 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?

Hi BB, It's currently in the FAQs but agree we need a better way of displaying this information to avoid confusion and my colleague is looking into this.

I think this is a much better system. I'm semi retired and I now can have predictability & book around my shifts 12 months in advance.

Well done to the Club for doing this.

I dont think the change in the system will make too much difference to me, but I think, in theory it sounds a good idea and probably brings the Club into line with many other non-club sites.

Please stop trying to compare a brand new commercial site with the one cc site that you use and has been open for many years, and will be on the list of refubishments that all sites have in their turn wink

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 Rowena, I assumed that was the case. It's just that it was not immediately obvious from anything on the site page.
