The Club have released more details of the new Booking System here
There are still finer details still to be arrived but the link (thanks Harry) sets out how the new system will work.
I have closed the previous thread on when we will get details of the new booking system and opened this one to allow comments specifically on the new system rather than discussing what they might be.

We fully accept Marazion for what it is, a lovely location, which is our first priority, but some challenged pitches, more so with a MH. The biggest difference is we were only paying around £16 per night, not in the realms of £30-40 per night, which would be unacceptable for a less than good all round pitch for a long length of time.

Posted on 11/01/2022 14:31 by JVB66That is just the situations that arose with the trial of hardstand booking, hardstanding's ,having to be empty wating for a booked on that pitch arrival,
Those that think booking a specific pitch number is a good idea would also be thinking only of their own selves , not others that will arrive for two weeks and see an empty pitch
It may possibly work? on very large sites ,but with the high volume of site users in the Uk on most sites it would be difficult to work
Even AD could not get on his booked pitch on a site "over there" when he arrived early?
Unless people are willing to move once set up ? then the site staff on UK sites would I expect not be willing to let a booked pitch for any time that would overlap when it is required

That’s possibly the very reason booking a specific pitch will never happen on Club Sites. It needs a lot of spare capacity to give people their choice, and still accommodate others. A lot easier on a big 2000 pitch site, but on a busy 200 pitch site with a daily turnover of occupancy……🤔 not so.

Thanks for such a on topic and insightful post CY, why my preference for HS is funny to you I'm not sure? Actually they don't in my experience and I'm told many small animals prefer grass/soil if they can get it.
That aside especially with long grass it get easily missed and brought in while HS make it easier to spot, is that OK?
