When did the Club change the Booking System On Certain Sites From “Hard Standing Pitches” with electric to “Standard Pitch With Electric”.??.

It’s always been that way and we have never been able to book pitch surface type. I think there might be one or two recently added exceptions to this but the general rule is, much to many people's disgust, that you cannot book a HS.

To add to the confusion, some sites with only Hardstanding pitches market them as such, whilst others show them as standard pitches. Therefore you can’t take the term standard pitch to indicate there are some that are grass.🤔

See the recent thread started by A&J for confirmation that booking by surface type is not the norm.

We, in the past ,have always booked by Caravan & Motorhomes own definition “Hardstanding with electric”!.

I don’t think you are getting a choice Tricia, for example YRPark says HS with awning, HS without awning. There are no grass pitches at YRP, so choice of pitch surface doesn’t happen. Where a Site has both, HS and grass pitches, the only choice you get with this Club is with or without awning. There might be an economy option, no electric, that’s about it.

So now would be a good time to cut through the murky system and organise properly graded pitch choices for club members. To cover requirements as listed above.

 Is anyone listening?

Or in my case disgust that I can't book a grass pitch.

You may well get your wish. See my reply in the other thread.

Yes I've seen it.. I think you (or maybe someone else) posted it a while back when this topic was discussed. 

That would be one change the majority of members would probably welcome. Let's see what else will be introduced, most posters have probably seen the thread about deposits.
