New Site Booking System

TDA

I agree cash sits in my wallet for months. It is mainly used to pay our excellent chiropodist, who despite being a lot younger than us has not gone down the road of electronic payments. The last time I used my cheque book was in 2018. It was only ever used big household bills like work being done, even that is now done by bank transfer. I don't have the equivalent of Apple Pay on my Android phone but perhaps I should investigate? 

As far as payment on site is concerned I am not sure the Club should encourage members to pay the balance on arrival as it will just lead to delays. Is there anyone in the country who uses campsites that does not have a card of some sort?

 DK, your last sentence- there's more than you think I'm afraid

I do not carry cash ,as is normal for royalty 

Or cash back when shopping?

Oh yes DK😁 As you know, we love CLs, and often not the posh pay online type, so we know loads where cash is still very much King. I always have a few notes in my wallet when we set off on a tour, and this has possibly been our main use of cash this last 18 months. Quite happy to deal in cash with these tiny businesses. Some we do pay online of course.
We love Apple Pay, I think there is an Android equivalent, so worth investigating. We did a lot of research around security of course, but, touchwood, no problems at all, and it’s easy to track your payments. Even my Luddite sister has Apple Pay now. (Dragged kicking and sulking into 21st Century via a new IPhone 😂) No leaving cards behind accidentally (twice 😱), no touching devices touched by others, no shuffling cards while others wait. Very easy👍 Lots of online businesses support it as well, and our Bank verifies things for us, so an extra layer of protection. 

Yes he was. Hope he is doing ok. Anyone in touch, please send regards.

We have some caravaning friends who will not use cashpoints ,of any sort and will only draw cash via the counters in either their bank or a post office and always pay cash for site fees 

I did manage to get him to try a tap payment for some drinks last month, to save his dwindling cash 

 they are still of the attitude that cash is King for most transactions 

I agree that paying in advance is a good idea, but the new system will need to be a lot cleverer than the current one. For example on my last trip to Burford I stayed for 10 nights but I had a guest staying with me for 4 nights. There was no way I could book that on the current system but the warden sorted it out quite easily when I got there. So let’s hope the new system allows that sort of occurrence to be booked.

 I would also know if the new system will allow you to change dates within the 21 day period, providing there is space of course.
