New booking system with deposits

Regarding the comment about receiving information from HO prior to to releasing it to other members - absolutely not the case.  I wasn't looking for an answer from members as I know they don't have it; I'm just frustrated at seeing it on an unofficial Facebook Group.

Post removed by me.

We got some deep state stuff going on here-the big cover up😈

Jilly with a Jay - I read your post and tried to answer your questions.  

You have since said 

“Regarding the comment about receiving information from HO prior to to releasing it to other members - absolutely not the case.  I wasn't looking for an answer from members as I know they don't have it; I'm just frustrated at seeing it on an unofficial Facebook Group.”

Just for info - I tend to try and avoid anything that causes frustration.

I cannot see that I can add anything more productive to this thread - change will happen at some point and best of luck to all site/HO staff who will be dealing with it.

"Hot off the press" .  That was the fanfare the FB group's head admin announced the post. He rules with an iron fist, you must not go against his decision at any cost, he makes that quite clear. An intimidating rule.

His post was made at 6pm on Sunday night, "Hot of the press" implies he had just received the information, Some members questioned his comments including me. "Where had the information come from at such a strange hour". The comments were brushed aside. I'm not sure what happened to the others who commented but he has kicked me out of the group

Oh well it's only one FB group out of many so no sad loss.

I await the 8th with baited breath.

I don't use Facebook but, surely, any major announcement like the new booking system should be published on the website first rather than social media.  And I hope that fixing the speed of the website and the server errors will be sorted at the same time otherwise chaos will reign.

I gave up browsing the site yesterday as it was so slow. 

Perhaps they fear a splurge of bookings once they announce it to get in before the deposits. Although as it’s only 5 days until the 8th I do think they are cutting it fine, if that is indeed the day. One thing is sure, anyone trying to do anything last minute on release day, such as making a booking for that day or altering an existing booking, are likely to have difficulty.

+1 on the state of the website, it’s all server errors this morning.

The group(s) Harry mentions are in no way connected officially to the Club despite the fact that they use names that could be easier mistaken as official and that is something I have complained about to the CMC. The only link is that you should be a member of the CMC to join the group. I tend to share Harry's view of the high handed way these groups are controlled. They even had the cheek to ask me to provide an official link to back up what I was saying, which I could. So in this instant I don't think you are missing anything not being on Facebook! Having said that there are lots of Facebook Groups which are very useful for getting information. I have learnt a lot from the Bailey Motorhome Owners Group.

David, thanks for your input, you appear to echo my sentiments entirely on the group. The group in question was the one with the shorter title. When I first joined I too thought because of the club logo it was associated with CAMC, in fact it was some time before I realised they weren't. I'm surprised, after your raised the issue, the club didn't do anything about it.

Like yourself I find them useful for giving and receiving information and I had many likes to some of my info/advice so as you say they have a purpose if run correctly.

Alas they have lost that input now.
