Posted on 25/07/2022 12:55 by mbee1The most annoying part of this whole new booking system is the fact that the Spring Bank Holiday week was split. I've a booking up to 31 May 2023 but the need the other half of the week. Just shows how short sited the management is.
And this website is so slow today. I have 300mb broadband and using a top of the range work laptop and I get fed up of seeing the donut go round and round. I'm afraid this just doesn't bode well for the future.

I am puzzled that they cannot simply release the dates🤷♀️This is what they were doing when the previous launch date, the first one was mentioned. You could book without a deposit, until the deposit scheme went live. After that date, you had to pay a deposit. Amend your booking after that date and it became a booking made under the new system🤷♀️
Unless it’s something to do with the transition period that has been highlighted as a problem. 🤔 Who knows🤷♀️ Might be easier to get over school holiday peak period anyway, a busy enough time for Site Staff as it is without a new system.

I am sure many of us have booked sites further in advance than we normally would in order to avoid paying a deposit? We have, although in fairness only for this year.
Perhaps the Club have made a decision that they don't want deposit free bookings stretching well into 2023 as we could end up with the situation whereby the new system is not fully implemented until 2024? I am perhaps a bit surprised why they allowed bookings beyond January 2023. Perhaps they have been overtaken by events because as it stands the introduction of the new booking system is fast approaching six months overdue? I wonder if we will ever get an explanation for the delay, perhaps a question for the AGM?

As I said earlier or in another thread I would like to book my June and July trips now. I'm flexible about dates but others, especially in August might not be and rather than run the risk, however small, or not getting their dates will book with another provider.
I wonder when the date comes round what the procedures will be? I recall the old booking day ones, log in sometime before, then get put in a queue, then only a set time/sites. Of course having to pay a deposit may mean all that isn't needed, or not...

Yes he did PD. Maybe one of those issues is the transition period.
Its not affecting us. Hard luck on those who might have an event/occasion they wanted to spend on a Club Site. It will all get sorted eventually I am sure.
As regards the 2022 AGM, it’s to be similar to last year, where Members can either attend in person, or watch via a link. No doubt Members will be able to submit questions again to the meeting.

Changes in the last day or so to the Clumber site page could tie in with that. Although it says in the main text closed for refurbishment, planned opening 1st September, in the side panel it gives an opening date of the 9th August and prices are now shown from this date. The availability remains closed to booking but perhaps that will change on the 8th.🤔
edit
Just looked again and this morning you can book most pitch types from the 9th. So perhaps just coincidence it ties in with the above date. Still says planned opening September though.😂
