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.

Posted on 23/01/2022 19:21 by JVB66I wish I had your confidence on how EGH kept records, as i can assure you I have seen via some site staff how poor record keeping is is some areas
Two examples of how EGH are on top of the finances they are? I will not mentions the seasonal site ,but we were visiting just after it opened, the site staff were wondering why the previous year the water bill for their site had almost quadrapulled ,,they thought they had a bad water leak,?so checked the meter which was a completely different reading ,only to find they had been billed for a full fat all year site Twenty miles away by EGH finance dept
Second example EGH had paid the bill for refuse pickups sent in error by the refuse company to the site, and had been forwarded to EGH for payment even though the it was closed
Posted on 23/01/2022 18:07 by TakethedogalongThe Club will have the figures JV. No business as big or as professional as this wouldn’t know how each Site is performing. Every business uses figures to underpin a case for change. The Club has just chosen it’s moment very carefully. The problem is how some “lookers in” choose to interpret this information.
Posted on 23/01/2022 17:50 by TakethedogalongYour logic is flawed. The Club tells us 25% of bookings are cancelled. That doesn’t indicate the Club thinks they are speculative, merely that for a huge variety of reasons, 25% were cancelled. They don’t tell us how many of those 25% were rebooked, or moved to different dates. But you have chosen to make generalised comments about those who aren’t particularly in favour of the move over to deposits.🤷♀️

Not correct, in the article the club states it is to reduce speculative bookings
So it is both mine, and the clubs logic
The club does tell us that is 950000 lost days and of that and over 25% of those days are cancelled just before the 72 hour deadline
No commercial site could financially stand such a system ,where 25% of days being cancelled with out deposits to give them some financial protection
The reason the system is changing is due to the members that abused the system
It is not members like me that has a problem with a deposit system, as i do not do speculative bookings. its is members that like a speculative system with no penalty, that oppose the change

Posted on 23/01/2022 17:45 by TinwheelerYou and TMTO miss the point. The unsubstantiated remark by TDA referred to the comment that many posters here were suspected of being speculative bookers. It was a slur on us.
"Though i suspect many of those posting, are part of the 25% speculative booking members of the club"

So you claim that many of the posts that oppose the changes are not from members that speculative book
Explain how it is a slur ?
My comment does not slur those that do not speculative book ,as it does no apply to them
Neither does it slur those that do speculative book , as it is not a slur, it is true

No company could stand 25% of it turnover being cancelled, with no financial penalties to partially compensate, for that lose of turnover, or by charging those that do not cancel more then they should , to pay and compensate for those that cancel, with no penalty

We like many others plan well in advance with the intent to take up all bookings made. However, any booking made in advance, especially several months is speculative, (engaged in, expressing, or based on conjecture rather than knowledge ) as you have no certainty / knowledge that you will be able to take it up. The club has actively encouraged this sort of booking by advertising you are able to book a full year ahead. As the majority of the cancellations are rebooked there is little financial penalty to the club. Although deposits will definitely improve cash flow,

Posted on 24/01/2022 12:29 by TinwheelerTMTO, I think you would benefit from re-reading the club's statements and recent posts, including your own. I can do no more to help your understanding.
