New booking system with deposits

For once we've had an email from the club but I guess it's because we have a site booked. Hopefully by the time we return it will all be up and running without any hitches 🤔😅

Calling members selfish and silly isn't helpful. It's most unusual to have an arrival time where people are asked to arrive after it! If the club wants to promote a friendly welcoming business this is actually the "silly" bit. 

I quite agree with DavidK that everyone should be politely informed about being turned away in these circumstances. 

This isn't an early arrivals thread and I hope the new booking system works well and reduces some of the  problems that might have caused a few to arrive very early eg a chosen pitch type will now be available.

Firstly Brue I did not call members anything, let that be cleared up straight away. Only those 'some' the few that arrive early and while I actually wasn't the first to use that description, I do stand by it fully. 

These people who arrive early are selfish, they care not for the vast majority of others who abide by the set arrival time of after 1pm, they care not for the possible problems and possible confrontations for the wardens, locals, and others just because they want to arrive early. They only care for themselves and if that isn't the definition of selfish I don't know what is? It is not an insult, it is not being personal, it is the truth in my view. And why is it not helpful? It is so simple do not arrive early.

The last review/thread clearly showed someone who knew they would be arriving early yet carried on, was that un-selfish? Was that not silly?

Unusual or not it is arrive after one, that is what the rules are, people still arrived early when it was 1pm. If one doesn't like that then we're told there are many sites that have different arrival times.

Pitch type doesn't really come into either in my experience, I've seen early arrivals on sites that are all HS.

You are correct this isn't an early arrival thread so I'll leave this one here but I stand by my posts.

Well hopefully we can leave derogatory comments about fellow members behind now that the new system has launched.

I see there is a big queue to look at the system or see previous bookings.

Hope it settles down soon.

I think the alleged comments issue has been sorted out, Brue, which is more than can be said for the booking system, apparently.

We too hot the email a few days ago, but cannot access my booking on the app tonight!!

Who knows as there seems to be no published confirmation of Club policy on this matter. Even on the notice I saw on site only said "may" be asked to leave. It was also not on official Club notepaper. So perhaps the policy is not network wide although it seems strange that it is being enacted on sites which apparently have quite large waiting areas.

DK. Outside a site this year where there was just a handwritten notice, it asked peple to go to a car park nearby, followed by "thankyou for your patients" I wondered if they were helping out the NHS? Yes official notices should have been provided if it is "official?"

Tomorrow is another day, hope we see improvements.

My booking said Arrival 12.00 to 14.00. 6 outfits turned up at 12.30 to 12.45 all were told to go away. Is not good enough, I did not turn up early, the Club changed it and didn't let anybody know!

New website. Not user friendly, too much information require ie. wife's name, car make, length and width. two hours to get on. Get it sorted please.

Just on the matter of arrival times - we made a rare visit to a Club site a couple of months ago.

Arrived at 11.30 am, there were a couple of outfits already in the queue. The staff made us wait about 15 minutes, to make some sort of point. Then we went in and got pitched up in time for lunch - just as we like it.

Nobody was harmed by this. Nobody missed out on anything. But it was rather annoying to see some people leave late and thus deprive the new arrivals of their full choice of pitches, which was very rude. If people want to criticise or insult fellow members, perhaps they should re-direct their attention to those selfish people.
