New Booking System

The format of the meeting changed with COVID when they used the likes Zoom with no other members attending in person other than  the three top bods. I thought the system worked quite well because we discovered a lot more information than we previously did. Previously when questions were asked from the floor you only every had two or three but with the new system there have been 30/40 questions asked. I somehow imagined the attendance at the old meetings, apart from Club Officials was pretty thin on the ground. I think David (DBS) attended one so maybe he could confirm that? The advantage of the written questions is that they are published in advance of the meeting but it is true that most are not answered at the meeting but published afterwards. One advantage of that is you tend to get a more comprehensive reply. The purpose of the meeting is the official Club AGM, it's not an open forum. However the questions seem to be popular and we have learnt a lot from the answers over the last couple of years.

Either delete this post, or amend it. Your use of offensive language is disgraceful, and has no place here. Reported

I already reported it too. Absolutely unacceptable.

What I find appalling is that, with the exception of Rowena's comments at the head of this thread, there has been no other word from the Club as far as I can see.

The latest magazine arrived earlier this week and nothing about the new booking system, the updated app which is far more important to me that some of the other rubbish they publish in there.  I can imagine it went to print too late to comment on the disastrous introduction of the new booking system so it will be interesting to see if anything is published next month.

Dissemination of information to members is severely lacking and the Club should be ashamed of itself in this respect.

I have to say that so far, I have had no problem with the new system. I haven't needed to amend a booking yet so haven't explored all elements, but I think it works. I tried a couple of test bookings last night, and they worked fine. Many were showing low availabiity which suggests that it isn't putting off the majority of members.

I have to agree that the app is rubbish though. It keeps telling me that I'm not a member

Despite reporting a fault with my only booking with the new system....I still do not have to pay the balance until 5th June 2026 !!

Hurrah. A post I can agree with.

 I just ignore the app and the floating map and log iinto the ordinary website. Type in the name of a Club site and put in dates and size of car and caravan. Then make the booking for me alone - as it knows my name and date of birth. Then pay the warden when I arrive on site for anyone else I decide to take.

How easy is that? certainly takes less than a minute. Why all the fuss?

Still haven’t taken CLs searches out of the booking system and I don’t know why we should do a search through non club websites
