Just had an email from the Club saying they are extending the ANPR experiment, originally at Clachan, to three further campsites during the course of the year. Southland on the IOW, Bourton on the Water and Lady Margaret's Park. See here

there's an entrance barrier at work with a card reader .... I have to reach down when I got to work in the ML, but it's quite a reach up when I go to work in the Smart Roadster 😉

If the system updates in real time it shouldn’t matter when you make your booking and pay, an hour before or months, it should let you in after 13:00 on the appointed day. If you haven’t got a booking the site manager would authorise your number plate after you had booked in and paid up, presuming of course the site has space.

Posted on 08/03/2023 10:45 by brueI'd read the FAQs about this situation and CAMC points to the fact that this won't be as easy as previously.

At this stage of course it’s just a trial, designed to see how to use the technology to maximum advantage. However, once rolled out in its final form, it would be very poor if it couldn’t handle last minute bookings. The COOP seem to manage easily enough. I can update my offers on the phone while waiting to pay and the till knows about the changes when I check out 5 minutes later.

Steve, I have to thank you for telling us about the Co-op app, OH is now an avid user but when the app stopped working for him last week it was a bit frustrating. I suppose everything hinges on reliability but the last minute arrival bit could be detrimental for some according to the FAQs.

I think this is because they dont want anyone to turn up without a booking. if you dont have a booking now you have to to reception or phone etc. I am not sure why it will be any more difficult, although obviously more difficult than those using the ANPR system. or are they seeing it as a way to reduce staffing?
I would be interested to hear more about the trial at Clachan. Especially where they didnt have mobile phone numbers for people and so couldnt receive texts about pitch number. I wonder whether the remote system in any case led to more people not notifying pitch number. Dont know how it was done at Clachan with the limited staffing.
