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 05/12/2021 15:42 by DavidKlyneI am not sure I would encourage the Club to go down the road of booking specific pitches. That might be all well and good on sites where people book in multiples of a week at a time but the club doesn't really work like that. OK there are a lot of members who do stay a week or maybe two or three but would they want to be dictated to that they must arrive on a set day the week as is the usual case for many sites offering this option? With people arriving for all sorts of lengths of stay it would be very difficult to neatly dovetail everyone in the make the maximum use of occupancy. The biggest problem for me is, unless I have been to the site before, how do I select a pitch from a site map and know when I actually get to the site that it will suit me?

Posted on 05/12/2021 15:24 by TinwheelerI don’t think that necessarily follows. It depends largely on arrival time but, arriving at the usual 1200/1300 frenzy time, you will have as much choice as you ever had. The bonus is that if you arrive later, you will still get the surface type of your choice.
You can please some of the people some of the time………. 😀
Posted on 05/12/2021 15:48 by ArchStart Bay top row of hardstandings the far end of the row ccep about 3 mtrs off side of pitch where you would have awning and sit, no fence or hedge, there are more, look out for them next year.
Posted on 05/12/2021 16:08 by ArchIn a lot of cases if your going for 1 week+ it won't be the hardstanding of your choice because you probably wouldn't have been able to book it as they were blocked by 1 or 2 nighters.
Posted on 05/12/2021 16:03 by JVB66Smell? all the time? That could be said of any where,, have you ever pitched down wind of an LV that does not use toilet chemicals and one of the outside toilet vents.? that could be any pitch

Posted on 05/12/2021 16:13 by ArchLucky enough not on any pitches I've been on in the 40 yrs I've been caravaning and I would still avoid pitching next to the ccep

Have you not been on sites that at busy times have to have regular cess pit honey wagons in to empty them , the whole area down wind gets the "smell"
So you have also not been on a CL or site near, to a farm that has animals
the only time we have had any smell? from a ccep is on the very rare occasions some one who does not use any form of add fluids In their cassette m and then it is only as you would be in your own toilet with an upset tummy
