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.

We have a booking from this Sunday and have yet as usual not received  either any emails about  the new system or texts to advise of the 1300 earliest arrival times

Although I have contacted the club and the lady I was talking to said a reset of my details she had done should sort it out?

At least the man from NASA did give out a bit of information on what the problems were and the next possible launch window. Which is more than the club has done.☹️

There are definite comparisons, ‘it could be weeks or months whilst we test’ & ‘we’re not fully sure what the issue is’. A direct difference atwixt NASA & C&MC is putting out info where folk can see it not squirrelling it away in the NASA FB page open only to friends of NASA👍🏻

Having received an email yesterday  it looks as though the booking system is now moving forward. I hope the communication  preferences have been fixed for all, they are now working for me after several complaints about the issue.

Maybe like me you will get it after you arrive. We arrived at a site on the Sunday and the text arrived on the following Thursday. Now it could be that it refers to my next arrival on a Club site which is next Wednesday, or perhaps the site I am staying on in October? Still no mention of the possibility of being turned away from the site if you arrive early. Neither do the regular emails. Strangely there are notices in the toilet blocks telling you that if you arrive early you could be turned away. Whilst I am still of the opinion that turning people away, specially if only 10/15 minutes early is somewhat draconian if that is to be the policy surely the Club are duty bound to mention the fact that you will be turned away in all communications about bookings with members? I think, if known in advance, it would rather concentrate the mind and it would be honest.

DK,  might it be that there are some sites where you will be turned away, some where you might perhaps be turned away, and some where you will be allowed to wait - so they can’t send out a “one size fits all” e mail?

No it's there are some selfish members who wish to arrive arrive and the club can't know who's going to be selfish and silly and who isn't? They just assume people will abide with the rules they have agreed tosmile
