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.

I've just looked and the FAQ's and found the following.  Can't work out what it means.  If I arrive expecting to go on a grass pitch for a certain price only to find that they are closed, perhaps to wet, and the only alternative is a full fat fully serviced pitch will I be able to use the alternative for the grass pitch price or will CC Ltd want more of my hard earned?

The FAQ:

What happens if my pre-booked pitch type is not available, for example, due to adverse weather conditions?


The possibility of you not being able to be accommodated on your booked pitch type will continue to be managed on a case by case basis by our site staff. If pitches are taken off sale by us due to adverse weather conditions or other operational reasons, you will be offered a refund or an amendment to either another pitch type or an alternative Club campsite.

Translation of "case by case basis" means "we'll make it up as we go along".

If there’s no HS pitch available, tough luck, you can’t stay. If there is a HS, they’ll try to charge you for it unless you make a big fuss at reception when the office is full of other people trying to book in. 😈

Last year a number of sites closed or reduced grass pitches due to wet weather I spoke to a couple of members who had a phone call the evening before informing them they would not have a pitch and offered an alternative site or refund.

At that time there was no difference in the cost of grass or HS. The future is a big unknown with regard to paying extra if only HS is available in those circumstances.

Every year there is a possibility that some sites can't cope with adverse weather conditions, we've had breaks cancelled or postponed I think this is something most of us are used to and it's part of the system already. It's nothing new! smile

Agreed but the difference in pricing by pitch surface is new which is what DD was getting at.

Given that when the facilities at Culloden were out of action for over a month, we were contacted and told it was up to us, we could cancel or still come,  but no reduction in price was available. I think it very unlikely that you are going to be offered a more expensive option at no cost, in the event of a grass pitch being unavailable.
