New Site Booking System

Thanks David I was going to send a message after realising others were in the same situation but will wait to hear more.

If a number of bookings are made putting together a tour say 4 the deposit paid is based on the total cost of the 4 bookings, if for whatever reason the first site booking is cancelled after the 21 days do you loose the full deposit paid for the 4 sites.

It was my understanding that deposits would be calculated separately for each booking but then added together so you only make one payment to cover the tour. Therefore, each booking and its deposit is treated as a separate entity apart from only needing to make one advance payment.

That's how I read it TW, but I do not see any advantage in paying the one deposit. Keeping each seperate makes more sense for me.

Thats also what I understand

We were going to FM on  Sunday  see my post on what are you up to thread

One deposit one payment ,calculated? separately when at each site

I would tend to agree. Although will have to wait and see how the multiple ones are handled. We are generally only booking for a few days at each site and they will be interspersed with C&CC / others.

As well as interspersing with the Camping Club, CLs, CSs and commercials, I usually do not book all of a trip at once, rather working through the route since what I book at one site influences what I need from the following one(s).  I wonder if there is anyone who books a whole tour using consecutive Caravan club sites - apart from those writing an article for the Club's magazine.

I fear this is just yet another instance of the Club inventing something that we don't want or need, and trumpeting it as an advantage. No matter how many they invent it can never replace the loss of 3 day cancellation and deposit free bookings.

But surely part of the new system is about allowing you to book several sites in a tour or in fact at different times in one go rather than all separately? The system then just collates all the required deposits as one figure which does make sense. I imagine if a change is required to one site the system just decouples that part of the deposit?
