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 03/12/2021 10:02 by JVB66It does seem that the ccc do have more staff on their sites than this club?
If St Neots and Sandringham are typical.
I do understand that pay and conditions are quite a bit less also
As those who have jumped ship to this club have said

If those statements are correct, and I have no reason to doubt you JVB, then there must be something sadly wrong with the recruitment methods of the CC, or with the conditions that the site managers word under to make them leave much more frequently than those on C&CC sites.
Posted on 03/12/2021 08:48 by iDriverWhen you say ”You Said” exactly who is this “you” that said they want a deposit added to bookings and was this put to a vote of members?
As far as I can see, this is a club driven initiative to gather in thousands of pounds of members money up front and draw on the interest.
The only people who constantly whinge about not being able to book because others got their first are speculating about the reasons. They are claiming that it’s all down to people making speculative bookings, what is the real data behind that assumption? I will be submitting an FOI request to the club to get the real figures.As you are so keen on ‘you said, we did’. I say, please drop any plans to introduce a deposit scheme, just to pander to the vocal minority who want the club to hold open pitches across the network just in case these late bookers fancy a last minute booking.

"draw on the interest"
I would love to know where this can be done on short term deposits? Lead me to it....
The club will have money up front, yes, this is good business practice as they are continually investing in sites, staff and other financial demands. They probably have suppliers that expect payments on time too.

The points I made earlier were much as per your last paragraph, Brue. It’s my contention that those are the true reasons but I just wish they would say so. I’d have no issue with that as it would be good to see the club acting in a businesslike way in order to enhance its professionalism.
Posted on 03/12/2021 19:01 by SteveLTo me a credit card is just a very convenient method of payment. I never have used them to spread payments. I work on the principle that on the day I spend the money, it is gone from my account. We only have two CC and one debit. Online spending is restricted to just one of the cards.

We keep only the minimum required for the month ahead in our main account, and as our pensions are paid on different dates over the month, it is good to have money going out on different dates throughout the month rather than everything on one credit card right at the start of the month. Works for us.

I also only use credit cards very selectively. One card I use for purchasing goods from abroad (specifically music manuscript copies from the USA). Some cards have much better currency conversion rates than I can get by using an ordinary bank account.....
I digress... very happy that the Club has de ided to allow folk to book surface type. I have no strong feelings about deposits.... I can count on one hand the number of CAMC bookings we have cancelled, and all for unavoidable reasons...
