New Site Booking System

Exactly some members will never believe in preplanning their leisure time

Well I have made 7 campsite bookings,(not all Club sites) 2 ferry crossings and one hotel booking all in the past 2 weeks. Just about got my year mapped out for the longer away stints.

Surely it’s a case of keeping members informed. They might be very happy with the changes but a heads up is never a bad idea. Not everyone has lots of time to spend searching out information.  Certainly when I was working I had no interest in anything but making bookings, so a banner on the booking site would have been the only way I would have found out before implementation.

But how hard do you try? What ever did we do before the internet? I may not have read the magazine from cover to cover but the very least I did was to seek out news items when I led a much more busy life than today. Sorry I have little sympathy for those who don't help themselves.

But we do have the internet PD. At one time written communication wouldn’t have been commonplace and folk had to rely on the spoken word. Times change and whilst I agree that some don’t help themselves, there is nothing wrong with the club making it a bit easier for members to get information.
There is a link in the newsletter to website information and one was given in a thread, but there is nothing obvious in the menus to click on to get that information. If I was looking for new stuff I would click on news and events, then latest news. The last topic on that was about Wifi improvements posted on 29/12 going right back to September, there is nothing about the new booking system.

If anyone is not receiving updates they need to go to their "My Profile" and then "Update communication preferences" follow the link and answer the security questions and then you can select the type of communications you want to receive. They seem to be set to automatically get them unless you opt out by ticking the boxes. Perhaps those not getting these communications should check out their profile?

Checked my profile as not receiving e-mails, and preferences are set to receive updates, and then I received e-mail thanking me for updating preferences, so e-mails not going to junk.

I opted out originally but since I opted back for newsletters etc (probably a year ago) I haven't received any communications at all. Some of my preferences vary and I've just checked the list again and it's all still there but doesn't appear to work for me.

Agree JVB66, what news letter. Are we members of this club or not or is it just individuals who receive news letters.

I only found out about the changes when reading the January magazine and even that was on page 25.

For future reference, where would we get to see these news letters as it is not even highlighted under ‘NEWS’ or any other index in the magazine?

My question is answered thanks. But not happy if the club send via a system that only members who agree to emails.
