New Booking System

But the Red Box Search for CLs used to show the map didnt it?  Still no link to full info from CLs identified via the map.

Thanks, tda, have just tried it  on my Kindle, and I see that there are at present 2222 CLs listed, so still a few for my to visit!! 😁

I have flagged this up to Rowena in the hope we might get an update.

PS this is the answer to the review on Trustpilot where the Club say they have reverted to the original page. Just so you know I am not the David being replied to !

Hi David-Many thanks for the feedback. Just to let you know that we had a website release this morning to bring back the Certificated Location search and book page. You can access this via the following link and there have been some code changes to remove any references to the club site search: fal.cn/3uo4c
You can access this page from various places around the website, including the 'book a CL' link in the navigation and the homepage campaign block.
You can also view CLs and search by county and town through the following dedicated pages (you will need to be logged in to view contact details): fal.cn/3uo4e.
Have a lovely Christmas and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts~Jamie"

Ttda, tried that, but still brings me to the new booking system, not the link David Klyne posted

Brue, I clicked on your link,then on the redsearch box, but still get the new booking page, beginning to think it's me

When I get the green booking form,it has the map at the side of it, and I don't get the options below it as in your screenshot.  Seriously thinking it's this tablet, or me, or both!  I'm not computer illiterate by any meaans, but this is really frustrating.  Perhaps it's getting too late, tomorrow is another day

Looking at the example I posted yesterday, you have a much better chance of actually finding it on the ground using the reinstated old system. I wonder what their intentions are. It seems a ridiculous situation to run two systems. So is this just a stop gap until they sort the new one and make it more like the old one. Then of course they still have to sort providing direction information for the main sites, unless they are also going to maintain the old site pages. That does not even seem to be mentioned in the planned updates.

Agreed, maintaining two systems (software, hardware and the corresponding data) seems madness bearing in mind that one of the key reasons for moving forward was the technical 'unsustainability' of the old system. 

couple that with having to keep updating the old system every time a CL closes or opens or changes other key data and the club is making work for itself.

why not write one migration program to move all the missing old data into the new system and then carry out any maintenance there, all in one place?

A program like this must have been created to get to where we already are with CL data on the new system as part of the original migration. A quick tweak to add the missing bits and...

The "new booking experience". Well, it's certainly an experience!

I can't wait to get my new Sites Directory and Map. Hopefully they haven't screwed that up as well.

Try clearing your browser history, that might work? Other than that the link should take you to the old search site where there is a red box with CL SEARCH and touching that it links to the old county and town searches. They do look a bit similar to the new booking system layout but they're not.
