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.

Yes that's right in my post above I made it easy by saying each site was the same but in a tour that's probably quite unlikely?

And yes you're right again they are added together and no matter what the individual costs are it's still going to be 20% of the total.

And yes I looking looking forward to trying it out, I wonder if there will be a 'learning mode' where a booking can be made without actually booking - I would suspect not.

Interesting though is that when we didn't have deposits people were posting to say they wanted them and how the club should be more like commercials and now the opposite is happening?

Exactly so re the 20% of each equating to 20% of the total irrespective of the varying amounts for each stay.

Isn't that always the way with folk - they don’t realise the benefit of what they have until it's gone?

As per the other club you should be able to see your booking costs right up to the point where you commit to pay. I don't see any problems except with people who have not taken an interest in the proposals and won't be up to speed with the system details eg someone on here has already not understood there are separately calculated deposits for each site. I'm sure in due course it will settle down and be understood by all.

And yes, to other comments, if you commit to booking a lot of sites in advance the outlay is expensive.

Please read my post as booking different sites at different times. It is 20% deposit for each booking.

Posted on 12/08/2022 20:14

Yes as said we're saying the same thing.

Think of booking five sites at £10, £15, £20, £30, and £35

The total is £110 and so £22 deposit.

or you could find the despots for each site one by one

£2 £3 £4 £6 and £7

which comes to £22.

Isn't that how the system will work?

I'm sure there's song about that somewhere?
