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.

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

I'd be very surprised if anyone was charged more for what becomes an "emergency" pitch. Too many "what ifs" at present  we'll just have to wait and see. smile

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.

I think you'll be extremely lucky to be offered a vacant HS with the new system I suspect they will all be booked.

I did make reference to that in my reply to DD.

I think my “tongue in cheek” post has been misconstrued as discourteous or disparaging to other users of the forum, TinWheeler. And I see that the post has now been removed. Fair enough. 

My point is this is now one of the longest discussion threads going on the forum. I simply suggest a “what’s the latest info?” thread for people like me who prefer not to scroll through so many posts.

 

No need to fall out with anyone - we’re all in this together and want to see the Club deliver what was promised 3+ months ago.

With the other club shortly after they had introduced an extra charge for H/S, we had booked a grass pitch at their Oban site. On arrival all the grass pitches left were flooded and unusable. We were given a H/S pitch at no additional cost, wonder if this club will do thev same?

It sure wasn’t a well thought out post and was impolite which is probably why it was removed.

Long thread? It’s nothing to the 10000+ posts in good old Sunday Departures and others.😄

I think it’s a safe bet that another thread will just end up as a duplicate of this one but, as Corners suggested, you are free to start one.

I put a link on earlier to the FAQs and that will tell you the latest info.

I think that we will have to wait for the Club to provide us with definitive information on when the new booking system will start as there have been many false dawns. Being that this is a discussion forum for members and not (usually) a direct conduit for information from the Club we often do go around the houses. I can see that if you are new to the discussion that it appears to be long winded but we have been waiting a long time for everything to be confirmed and the longer it goes on the more you are likely speculation creeps in, all part of the fun of it really! Might I suggest you read the last two or three pages of comments and them add anything you wish to the discussion based on the most recent element of the discussion.

It's an embarrassment for the club that this new system is obviously having so many problems that the start date keeps gets pushed back. April, June, then two dates in August?

I often wonder what these problems could be and how they keep being discovered and by whom? 

And why doesn't the club just publish something?
