New Booking System

The one thing to be wary of (in my experience) is asking Joe Public what he/she/they might think is a good idea. I can think of two recent examples that clearly indicate that Joe Public thinks only of No 1, no real regard for any implications further down the road to their Nirvana. One is the new booking system, and the second, well🤷‍♀️ Best not go there☹️

+1 SL, I dropped my membership but it had nothing at all to do with the sites or even prices. Sites, staff, prices & general experience I’d score highly👍🏻

I've posted before that while sites keep up the high standards people will want to keep going to  them and keep booking them.

Having just clicked on the  Late Availability link, the page shows campsites beginning with Minehead and ending with York. Where are the campsites beginning with A?

Hard to believe really, they update the list, find Poolsbrook but loose everything above M.

Does nobody check anything? There are definitely vacancies at sites starting A to M.

Well, I shall soon be using the new system again to book (only used it once for real, so far!).  I've done a few 'dummy runs'.  For me, the main issues are:

• The search will only show up the top 20 sites in list view.
• Now that we can book pitch types, when I put my dates in, I want to be able to specify 'hardstandings', 'serviced pitches' etc and just for those sites with availability in my chosen pitch type to come up in the search results.  At present, I have to go into each site individually to check whether the pitch type I want is available.
• I also miss not being able to specify sites within a 50 mile, 100 mile radius of the chosen 'location'.

The Club are aware of these 'personal requests', but I guess the priority depends on the practicalities and how many others have flagged up these things up as 'requirements'.

I've used the system twice now but must admit I was forearmed due to discussions on here. I might find it a bit challenging if I discovered the set up without any prior knowledge.

I see the Late Availability has altered, but it's not a proper update. Looks like the list is limited to ten sites at present. The feedback needs to continue. 

Never in the field of IT programming has so much been cocked up by so few.

It does seem to be never ending CY. I was prepared to give them time to sort it out but it just seems to jump from one problem to another. Patience is wearing very thin.

Although we have not used a Club site for 2 years, there is a no facilities site which may be well placed for our April tour, so decided to check it out to see if it offered good value now that prices are higher on many CLs.

Basically I just want to see if there are pitches available for our dates, and the price for 2 people, I do not want to make a booking at this stage.

As far as I can remember the price is the same (at the moment) whether you have a caravan, a MH or a campervan, and does not go on size.  So I really do not want to have to enter my caravan size, the Club already has those details, or my car details as that is irrelevant, just to see a price.

I like the fact that the calendar shows the prices for different dates once you get that far, but needing to fill in all these details, when the club either already has them, or they make no difference, is tiresome.

Then if I want to look at a different site, I have to do it all over again.
