New Site Booking System

CAMC already have bank account numbers for direct debit membership payments etc so site payments will just be an extension of this activity or similar for most.

I think you'll find nellie that jv  meant that more staff migrate FROM the c&cc club to CAMC. Certainly so in my experience.

we use a lot of grass pitches in the mid season...THS sites, CL/CS etc and prefer them, if conditions are right.

The thing with grass pitches is their variance in ability to stand up to typical vanning 'treatment' especially as the season draws on.

If booking a long way ahead is to include the pre selection of a pitch type, then the CAMC must be confident (to the best of its ability) to be selling grass pitches at a time when they are fit for purpose.

with customers probably not being able to swap to a HS as these may well be fully booked, perhaps the selling season for grass pitches should be shortened slightly (with the website/app reflecting this) to ensure that (almost certainly) the product will be usable.

should the season end be warm and dry, then site managers can add stock back to the system on a week by week basis where these pitches could be picked up by late bookers in the way cancellations currently work.

managing the stock in the opposite way (being too optimistic about the validity of the product) might be a recipe for pitch shortages and 'bumping off' for those who've booked to be on grass.

part of the pitch price is the confidence that what you've booked will be available when you arrive. If the grass pitch is only likely to be a pound less than a HS then it's fair to say that the customers expectation of that pitch being delivered in a fit state if it appears on the booking system should be met.

I know we can't predict the weather but with the pitch type playing a more important role in sales/booking, the club needs to only be selling grass pitches when they are wholly confident that the customer will get what they've paid for.

Morning

I have 50 grass touring pitches (+40 seasonals). At the start of next season half of those will be bookable online the other half through me. If bookings jump up then more pitches go in the online pot. That's how it's always been and that's maybe why in the past you see loads of pitches become available for a weekend so weekenders get a bit of a chance. It will be the same the back end of the season, online activity will drive what's in the pot.

So you still are allowed Off Set on your site? most sites it seems with conversations that "wriggle room "on sites had been taken away as site staff advise in the Dash for Cash by the new sites Director?
