High Onn, is it closing

Content has been removed.

With which parts of "will be closed for the 2023 season" are you struggling with?

The surprise it is just for the season. Attached is a screen shot of the snippet.

I think you need to consider the whole context of the thread perhaps?🙂 I rather got the impression from earlier posts that High Onn was to close full stop, but with the above snippet saying “for the 2023 season” I am not quite sure now🤔

I can understand it closing early this year, given the running costs, but wondering if it will re open. Hope so🤞🙂

Its still in the 23/24 directory, page 137, with no mention of closing.

That’s good then PD👍 We haven’t got our directory yet. I wonder if it might be staffing as well that’s an issue, along with energy costs. The Club were struggling this time last year for staff.

I just tried to book High Onn for random dates in May and June, all pitch types show as not available and full so 'search alternative dates'. Why not just put a note on the website booking form that it's closed.

But that statement could have said either that it was permanently closed, or that it was hoped that it would be able to open the site at a later date. So the comms are as poor as usual from HO.

It does seem odd that they give the impression the whole network would be in peril if they opened High Onn as normal in 2023? The statement only tells us it won't open in 2023 but nothing of the future for the site. If it's left unattended for a year how much is it going to cost to get it back up to standard if it re-opens in 2024? If they are going to maintain the site during 2023 surely it can't be that much more expensive to open it and get some campsite fees? Perhaps they have not decided on the site's future yet, other than not opening it next year?
