New Site Booking System

JK, any chance of you posting a copy of the Notice you are talking about? Might be helpful👍😁

Too simple maybe.   I pity the warden who has to explain to someone who booked 12 months back why there are no hard standings available for them to chose from, despite there obviously being some empty ones!

I've just caught up with this latest development. 

I think it's going to be a difficult year 2022 for some site wardens.

Paying deposits doesn't bother me, if I need to book far ahead then I'm happy to pay a deposit, as its pretty certain I will be taking up that booking. I've already made 2 for next year and paid deposits with the other club.

I booked with them for the sole reason I can book a H/S. Which I want to ensure I have for my single night booking on the way to the ferry.

Maybe now that this club is allowing pitch type bookings to be made they might get the odd booking from me. 

Al other type of tours we do in the UK are made at the last minute so tend to use C&CC as you can usually get a pitch and they are more cost effective for us aged folk.

Come to think of it we might not bother re newing our CAMC membership next year until we see how it all works out. 0

It was one of the contentious issues of the trial ,,,that I suspect will continue until the new booking system is stand alone

In my opinion although this club are not very good at communication  should hilight. to all members what will be involved 

The simple thing is that if you booked 12 months ago (the date of which will be on your booking conformation)you would get to choose on arrival what pitches are available. Those who booked with the new system (once again booking date on conformation)and who have booked maybe a hardstanding will be assured of one. Not much to explain really and no pity needed. The site manager will know on any particular day if any particular pitch types are going spare, no drama at all.

Surely if this is of so much concern to a member the simiple answer is rebook under the new system as soon as they can whether at the same site or another..

peedee

It will be the site managers who will have the headacre working out how many hardstands will be required,for bookings into the future

Unless all hardstands are reserved for the new system bookers ?

Hopefully JK the club will make it very clear to members what could happen if they booked under the current system. Not something they are known for, unfortunately. Someone who has booked a year ahead at a site and normally would have no problem getting a HS if they arrive soon after earliest check in, is likely to feel rather aggrieved if they get there and find every available hardstanding coned off for new bookers.

Up until recently there was encouragement on the member joining page for booking a year ahead, or at least stating that it was possible. That now seems to be missing. Probably just coincidence.🤔

Steve L , thanks for posting that .I was thinking the same thing and trying to word a reply in my mind , yours was more concise than my effort.😁. What got me thinking was we have already booked a few sites for next year .

What folks will need to know is, if they can rebook on the new system, to guarantee a pitch type, without first cancelling on the old system, and risk losing the dates they need? Doesn’t matter for many sites, as some are all HS, or all grass. But it will impact possibly on mixed surface sites. After first year things will settle down, but I think a Plan B might be required this year.
