Members Booking Weekends on Spec and Cancelling

Some people have posted complaining about a level of block and speculative booking on sites. The belief seems to be mainly because on some sites shown as full at the Weekend (often Saturday) pitches then become available very near the date.

The pattern of cancellations is not so simple to follow. There will always be an odd cancellation or two on any day on a site of circa 100 vans. However on most occasions the cancellations in the week will not show as a site is not fully booked then and pitches are still available; whereas at the weekend it will show. Simples. 

Over say 100 pitches and 200 members it is not surprising if there is a person or two ill on a given night or a mechanical breakdown or a family member ill. If 200 people work in a factory are not some of them often ill and not at work on a given day??
