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.

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.

Just looked on CAMC facebook as someone asked about release dates on there and it just says "please keep an eye on the website." I hope every member gets a proper notification!

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 suppose that would solve the "Sunday Departures" issue at a stroke as no-one would be booking a weekend stay.

Or do as one of the larger UK holiday provider does, offer only three night weekend breaks, four night midweek breaks or seven night breaks. That should just about change kill the wonderful nature of touring as many of us presently know and enjoy it.😟

I get it that the Club needs a new booking system. I get it that some challenging IT issues are holding the launch up. What I don’t get is the Club’s continued silence online and anywhere else giving us all an official update. Someone earlier in the thread posted a great draft of what he though should’ve been posted. As an ex Communications Manager myself I could probably knock something up if anyone from the Club is reading this!

Keeping the membership engaged and informed is paramount. Unfortunately the Club scores 0/10 in this department.

Wouldn't we all like to know!!!! If what I see on social media is anything to go by there are certainly getting a lot of people asking even if they chose to ignore this forum? Perhaps the situation is more fluid than we know and perhaps they think they have cracked the problem only for another to arise?

DK...As Im sure you are aware.....On Twitter, they do reply...almost immediately .....to questions asked including when is the new booking system being launched (Latest is September). This, together with the constant server error messages and slowness of CT is an obvious statement as to how the business views this forum....

New blood at the top required....

Is anyone able to book anything from June next year onwards yet? Reading the comments above it seems they were supposed to be released from June 25th, but its September 4th now and I still cant.

Will be looking at other sites soon if this carries on

It seems as if there were more problems trying to introduce the new system and intigrate advance bookings as well?

As the club seem to be unable to keep us members up to date with whatever is the latest problem is then it is just supposition

See what happens after the 12th of this month as I understand that is the latest date given for the Launch 🤔
