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.

Good stuff, having just had a great weekend at a not fully booked Chatsworth I reckon this change is overdue, done deal crack on. 

One question that I can't find the answer to.  If the new system is introduced on 31 Mar for example, will all those with existing bookings post that date be asked to pay their deposits?  That should free up some space and perhaps create a new discussion thread wink

From the FAQs on the new system.

“What if I have already made a booking, will you be asking for a deposit when the system is launched?
Existing bookings will be migrated onto the new system, meaning no deposit is payable and payment before arrival will not be an option.”

Well, there’s nothing like a bit of controversy to persuade people to post. It’s a shame they don’t bother the rest of the time. šŸ˜•

Reading the AGM report in the latest magazine, it is not suprising there has been such difficulties that some have found with sites being busy 

When we have had many members doing staycations  and having 61000 new members ,that have joined,

I don't think deposits will have very much of a difference at most of the "honey pot sites" except a few may hold back with there bookings

Hi JK. I was just wondering why the pitch numbers were reduced? 

Posted on 30/11/2021 17:47

Contrary to what some of the negative posters on this and other forums believe, it's not about cramming a pitch in every available space. The sites I've visited that have reduced pitches is down to creating more space where the bare minimum just didn't look right. Anyone who's been to my current site will know what spacious meanslaughing

We've had another zoom meeting today with updates on the new system. Very positive and in my opinion a big step forward. The website and new app will be much more user friendly for us members. Can't say anymore.wink

We are in the couldnā€™t care less camp. Only downside for us will be if it has more folks using CLs.

I think it more likely prices will do that father than deposits.

When on most club sites ,just note  if you want something to do,?  how many "spare?" hook ups are around the site which in the past ,would have been where a pitch was  many site have now less pitches than In the past

I’m afraid you’ll have to explain, SamRo, as I don’t understand "rsd" or the point you’re making in response to my general comment which followed on from your earlier postšŸ¤·šŸ»‍ā™‚ļø

The First part of your post proves the point many are posting. Why change the present system?,

It just needs the min cancellation tine extending  to a longer period at peak times expecially
