New Site Booking System

If folk do minimise deposits by only including for one adult on the original booking, isn’t that going to lead to delays at check in. Unless of course those who have paid upfront are waved through. Although unfortunately, if it catches on it will also lead to fewer paying upfront and waving through may be impossible. Which in turn may lead to less bothering to pay up front as there is no advantage.🤔

A bit rude there Cy, not needed is it? Touched a raw nerve? 

In any event surely it is only a pointless activity in your own view? But you have often posted about the demise of the club with many empty pitches have you not? As I said could be this time.

What's 'disgusted of Doncaster' letters got to do with me? I never mentioned that? I think you have confused me with someone else?

Yes agree with all of that, I was not condoning such behaviour just pointing out there is a way around it. In any event as I said I hope the club picks up on this, but while it does affect families isn't that the same as any holiday? 

You've raised another good point with pre-payment, even with it (And I hope it happens) I assume there will be a chance to amend the payment to reflect any changes in the number of people? Myself and Mrs C are always there but it's amazing how nearer the time the 'kids' fancy the idea of a free and/or cheap weekend away. (It's often free) 

I may have missed it but is waving through a possibility?  

If you read the QAs there's going to be no waving through you still have to stop and check in and come back with your pitch number.

If you can’t check in without getting out of the vehicle, I can’t see much point in paying up front. I accept you will have to come back to let them know the pitch number and pick up a barrier card / block key. When I put waving through I was meaning checking in from the vehicle, rather than just being waved through. Perhaps, fast tracked would have been more appropriate.  If the system gave the wardens a familiarity figure, based on number of sites stopped on, they could perhaps modify the list of instructions, to further speed things up,

That's already been mooted on here, paying a deposit for one adult, there are people who will use these tactics. Some will opt for payments on arrival as this will also avoid loss of funds should there be a cancellation, this is a financial loop hole which some will relish. I'd be interested to hear if there's a way round this for CAMC! Maybe an admin fee for repeat tactics?

What ever way you look at it, it is less to pay on arrival. I think I have read, probably in the FAQs, that arrangements can be made to pay in installments?

 Yes you can pay in installments, here is what the FAQs say.

Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, the new booking system will allow you to make a payment toward your balance at any point as part of the 'manage my booking' screens within the new website booking system. This is designed to help you spread the payments over a period of time.

With the way Caravan Club prices are going, maybe we need an option to spread payment over the following two years?
