Cancellation reasons

I personally would wish to keep any reason to myself. 

there is fuel around & about .... My local Tesco had run out of 95RON unleaded, but they did had diesel at some of their pumps, I filled up (with diesel) there this morning. And I filled up fairly easily last Friday so I could get to work over the week end.

I knew EVs would come into their own eventually! 😂

Well thought out W, you did the right thing by putting others first, that is something to be proud of I applaud you👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

PS-the C&MC know you’ve acted within the rules, you’ve gone above & beyond.

That was a responsible action, Waffler.

The club added in covid to the list of cancellation reasons at one time so perhaps fuel shortage could also be added. I suspect the software can't cope with us writing comments.

We were on the A303 this morning, a main route for travel, on the way out two large garages had queues. On the way back one had run out.

Couple of garages closed here but looking at the continuing flow in local asda I doubt the problem is shortage so much as panic

Hallo slightly off topic but I would like to ask if anyone living up North and in  Scotland are having the same fuel problems as we are in the South. I ask because we have booked a  3 week trip up to Highlands and Outer Hebrides in our diesel campervan starting tomorrow,  all packed, everything booked including ferries. We filled up 2 weeks ago in readiness  so will be able to make it to Carlisle, before refilling,  onwards to Fort William, Skye, Islands, Dunnet Bay, Culloden etc,    Hondaman himself is confident  all will be well fuelwise, but just thought I would seek advice from those in the know and helpful with it !  Many thanks, Mrs HM.

We are based in South Yorks, and have a lot of panic prone flappers. So yes, some service stations have run out, particularly of diesel. However, everyone is now not driving around but has a full tank, so logic dictates that once, if/when the next deliveries are made, then there ought to be less reason for folks to panic. I haven’t seen anyone filling up big plastic containers, or things like oil drums, but having little faith in some around here, wouldn’t discount it happening😂 

The powers that be are holding off on getting the Army in at the moment to help out, decided it’s not needed yet. Personally, I think it’s more that they are a little busy helping drive Ambulances, and there aren’t actually that many of them now.......

If only those making decisions had listened months ago to the Hauliers Association......... 

We all know there is no fuel shortage. Which isn’t a comfort really given that it’s merely a logistics issue. This Gov doesn’t do logistics, ask those who needed PPE. Another shambolic situation.

I wouldn't worry about  your reason W as you cancelled outside of the 72 rule you have nothing to worry about or reproach yourself with.

Also don't worry about the reason drop down box, I suspect it's probably more to do with the club wanting to find out for reporting back and future planning. As I said if outside of the cancellation time no reason is needed at all

I can see what the OP means but hopefully this current situation will be short lived and it won't be a regular reason for not getting to the site. We would have to understand why the Club asks the questions they do in the first place? I suspect they are just general categories so they can judge what the main reasons are for cancellations. They are, of course, relying on members being completely honest!  It would only be in a case of a serial canceller that the given information would ever be delved into? The simple answer would be for members to write their reasons in a single text box but that would require a lot more work to get the the reasons behind a booking being cancelled.
