New booking system with deposits

Maybe the 25th July was more accurate as you still cannot book post June 2023. Anyone have any idea as to when?

The club has said that dates beyond the end of May 23 will be released when the new booking system that includes deposits goes live. The only information I have seen, provided by the club, on when this will happen is in Frequently asked questions:-

When will deposits be introduced?

Deposits will only apply from when the new UK booking experience is launched (sometime in 2022) and will only affect new bookings made after the launch. Up to then continue to make bookings on the existing system (which do not include deposit payments).

I suppose until we get to December it’s no different to the old system, when at this time of year we would have been able to book to until just before Easter 2023. On frenzy day in the first week in December the rest of 2023 would have been released.

Yet again, I read a "Hot off the press" announcement on an unofficial Caravan and Motorhome Club Members' Group that the date for the introduction of the new booking system will be 8th August.

QUOTE from Facebook

"Hot off the Press....
New booking system going active August 8th.
During the initial infancy phase contact can only be made with the Club via the App, Website and Call Centre. Site Staff will not be answering calls during this period."

If this information is correct, how come the club aren't giving me this information first hand?  Why am I getting it off an unofficial Facebook Group?

Hopefully they will at least have the answer phone on, in case anyone wants to inform them of a late arrival.

You never know who is posting and from where

I saw that tonight on one of the CAMC adverts of FB a staff member mentioned to someone that the new booking system is hopefully to be  launched on the 8th August.

Get your bookings in now folks while there are no deposits. 

And get your life jackets ready....

Because it is either untrue or more likely they won't officially announce anything until they are confident it is working as it should.

Its getting on a year since they first trumpeted the arrival of deposits etc. Jumped the gun by just a little bit.

peedee

Personally I don't think anyone who posts on here will be able to give you the answer.

I am guessing from the post that this means that the OP/Moderator  (JillywithaJ) usually receives info from HO prior to releasing it to other members. 

If so and the 8th Aug is the release date then maybe ‘the change date’ info (whenever that may be) is just for CAMC employees whom will have to process/manage the operating of the new system
