I haven't seen any confirmation or otherwise regarding this but have just read it on Faceache with a date of 25th June being, allegedly, given by a member of site staff for implementation.

UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON BOOKINGS


We are normally able to book for next June from today.
However this isn’t possible as the website is moving over to deposits in the next couple of weeks.
So at this time we cannot book anything for next June until the system is live.

One day, I shall log on to make a booking and I shall find the process somewhat different; probably, inter alia, I shall be asked for a deposit.

I shall barely turn a hair and I am not remotely concerned, or feel a need to know, when that time might be.

Indeed.

And for those that use affiliated sites, commercial sites or C&CC sites it may not register as anything unusual at all....

The best bit is going to be the ability to reserve a hard standing. Now that is going to have implications for the club, but again, if you are used to other sites, long overdue.....wink

All supposition CS. None of us really know what is really going on and inspite of all the trumpeting of its coming from the Club there are still no dates of its arrival.

Not sure of your point is here PD, if you read my post again I said the same as you:

'we'll never know as the club isn't telling. I would imagine the software (a pre loved item if I remember correctly from another forum/post) has been tested and isn't up to the job or the hardware isn't'

I didn't post as fact did I? I am allowed to imagine PD?

Re last sentence. Spot on.

I wonder if that could be linked in to the deleted post on page 9 you replied, "WoW" to.

It would be interesting to know what the content said

Let's just say it wasn't complimentary to CT posters.

Copied from live chat this morning where I asked when June 23 would be available to book (as want to book rest of half term!).

Thank you for getting in touch today,xxxxx.  Our new improved booking experience will be ready to go live for members in the near future - this is likely to be in August. Shortly after the new systems go live the Club will be able to put pitches from June 2023 on sale. We have not yet been given a confirmed go live date for the new system, but we will communicate this to members when it has been decided. You can also keep an eye on our booking experience page HERE for more updates.

I also had a live chat this morning asking the same question, was informed that to give members the best possible booking experience the new system would be coming in the next few months. So not able to book half term next year until new system is working ok. I found the best possible booking experience, booked elsewhere, no stress šŸ˜Ž

You have to love all this excitement. First the deposits were expected sometime April 22. Then we had confirmation that staff were in training, and it might be 25th June. Now the official line is “sometime in the next few months”.

This Club does not do clarity and reassurancešŸ¤£ Camping’s very own HS2 projectšŸ˜‰

I'm quite miffed that I can't book this summer's holiday till September, Apart from everything else and not being told officially it's only now that I can't I realise  how much I enjoy booking. Yes strange I know!

But on the plus side it does take me back to the good old days, a mini four month booking day!
