New Booking System

A chance? It has been a disaster since release after years design? And many it seems false starts and then being released with out first any communication

Even Microsoft cannot get it right, witness all the updates and their evolution. Window 7, 8 10 and now 11 with 12 on the horizon. Systems don't stand still they evolve striving to be better.

Writing on a forum is even from  your planet? not the same as it needs to attempt as noted by the amount of negative posts on here about the very poor replacement for a system that was very much better than this debacle of a replacement

But at least Microsoft system worked when first introduced  , this system may work if you have IT skills? 

Even it seems those that have posted on here with IT skills say it's a real dogs breakfast

If you want to get away on a late availability, say within 2 or 3 hours of home then that can encompass a large chunk of the UK.

The Club has previously made much of late availability, but it seems the new site is not as flexible as the old. I can search availability at a particular site but there must be a lot of members who don’t have a particular sit in mind, they are just more interested in getting away.

And on the off chance that any one in the decision making echelons of the Club reads any of these posts, I will again mention the appalling way on which CLs have been treated, especially as the purposes for changing the site were all to do with Club sites.

I find it interesting that CL owners are very quite on this forum at present, given we usually hear from a few of them from time to time. I hope they are in communication with HQ and getting things sorted.

Out of interest, have you used it to actually make a booking, JV?🤔

With late availability I'm sure some will want to look up a month at a time and would expect to see the available days not that the site is unavailable! When looking for late availability I would expect to see just that. You should be able to browse at least a month ahead.

The new system is really appalling, after all the waiting this is the replacement for a system that was so user friendly and quick, of course we can use use work arounds and get what we want but it does not excuse the club from this complete disaster.

I wonder if "late availability" was more prominent on the old system because there was more last minute cancellations? One of the reasons for changing to a deposit system was the prevent so many last minute cancellations so perhaps the Club feel there is not the need to give it the same emphasis? 

On the point of searching for sites and CL's it does seem to have lost the simplicity of the old system and I wonder how amenable the Club will be to tweaking the new site to restore some of the past simplicity? 

Many of the CL owners who contribute here are also part of Ted's separate CL booking website so I imagine they won't be as concerned as those CL owners who just rely on the Club site.

I am just pondering on CLs not having to go through the Club for certification, but still being under an umbrella organisation that certificates, promotes, has a decent website and booking app…………..

Bru you can browse up to the rolling year ahead if you so wish, select a site, click book, select your type of pitch and scroll the calendar.
