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.

Ferry Meadows hardstandings were flooded when we were there. Mind, the clue’s in the name really🤣🤣 Six inch deep at the worst, but it all soaked away overnight. That was the HS side only. I think there was a lake where the grass pitches usually are over other side😁

When we first used FM the site was only open until Nov fireworks weekend as it was always flooded in the winter, and the booking in side (west side now ) was just a summer overflow site with portcabin toilets

A screenshot of a Facebook post (non official CAMC group). Probably as true as any other rumours.

we like to book early as we stay for 2 or 3 weeks at 0ne site if we don't book early we will not get our time at the site we won't due to people booking 2 or 3 nights. There should be a minumum of 7 nights mostly for motorhomes

I don’t think you need worry too much about what those who tour in their MH’s will be doing. Club Sites are well off our radar now, and likely to remain that way. And I suspect we won’t be alone.

It doesn't say the launch date on CAMC Twitter, just the month, September (they seem more keen to mention National Sponge Cake Day!!) Well of course that's something of great importance and makes running a Twitter account on our behalf vitally important.....

Twitter is available to view as long as you are signed into CT, see "tweets and replies."

It says a lot about how much they value CT when the can give out that info on their twitter feed but no one has bothered to post anything on this thread, which has been running almost 3 months.

Why’s that then? We can spend 7 or more consecutive nights on CaMC sites just not on the same one. After all, it is a touring club, a network of touring sites we join, not just one site. That is a big plus for us and many others I’d bet, we enjoy touring using many sites in the duration of our planned sojourns. It’s brilliant in our opinion and we plan our tours around the sites and locations we visit.

Given the number of MH’s we see on sites that only seem to stop 1 / 4 days like ourselves, that would be a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas. There would be little point in us continuing our membership. We don’t use CL’s and could source the Mayday offering from the C&CC, at least they only usually insist on 2 days.😀

The whole fabric that was once loved is slowly but surely eroding crumbling. I’m thinking that the current attitude will not enable a Phoenix ending🙁

I think you posted that before but it’s no more real now than then.

Why 7 nights and why MHs? I cannot see the difference between 2 folk booking 3 and 4 nights sequentially and another booking the whole 7 nights irrespective of their units.

You are quite entitled to book early if that’s what suits you but please don’t try to make the rest of us change to accommodate your needs.

Most Caravanners stay for 7 or more nights. Motorhomers the majority of them stay for only a couple of days. I have seen this so many times. This is the problem it stops people booking for longer periods. The club must be losing revenue by allowing 2-3 night stopovers on the weekend and lots of space in weekdays.
