You are spot on đź‘ŤThe USP has gone. I am yet to meet any one on site who think the new booking system is an improvement for many different reasons. The current 3•4 star rating on Trust Pilot down from 5 is a good indicator of disapproval and the figure would be even lower if it wasn't for the random site only reviews. As for the issue of profits I believe at this time a couple of years of "break even" budget policy would go a long way in helping members through a difficult period.

However, there are probably quite a few who would like perhaps to stay on the site they are on rather than move and that is possible without penalty. We have certainly done that within the 72 hours under the old system without reprimand.
I wonder now that they are talking DP if adding a couple more dates to an existing booking, will that be at an inflated price or at the price when you made the booking.

Posted on 13/02/2023 12:41 by SteveLI would assume it would be at the current rate for the site and pitch type you were on. Therefore if you had booked the other nights a year ahead it would likely cost you a fair bit more.

Wasn't really thinking a year ahead.
More like you booked it a month before, then decide once there you like it and want to stay for more days.
If DP comes in it could mean it might be cheaper if the site isn't that busy or on the other hand it could be like the C&CC and be dearer as it's considered a last minute booking.
I think we all understand that if there has been a price increase in between the two then of course it will be dearer, same as if it has gone into a higher price band.

Posted on 13/02/2023 17:36 by wedgyI think the Club are pulling out all the stops to give us the complex book system we never asked for. I have had conversations with CAMC staff and they are even more dissolutioned than I am in the way the Club is heading.

Wedgy, Sainsbury’s sells carrots and CAMC sells caravan pitches. Does it really matter to me or you which way either company is heading, or if the staff of either company is disillusioned? I can always get the carrots somewhere else. It’s not my problem.

Very strange analagy. Sainsburys doesn't purport to be a not for profit club or charge £57 / year membership neither does it charge £45 (average cost per night per pitch)for the carrots. It does matter to me when the CAMC is behaving in a manner never before seen and not in the average members best interests IMO.It is also important that staff for any business are "on board "and in agreement with its modus operandi.
