New Site Booking System

Have been to all those you mention

Ps there are more than one MC point at Cayton village

Finally an admission. 25% just outside the cutoff. I wonder what the percentage is if you looked at the five or six day figure. Probably substantially higher. I wouldn't mind betting that up to 50% get cancelled in that final week before arrival.

On the matter of cancellations due to "exterminating circumstances", and possible refunds, perhaps it is time to suggest that such risk should be covered by the customer with an appropriate policy rather than CAMC getting tangled up with admin and disputes. It might help focus members minds more.

Bring on the Daleks? For all those "exterminating circumstances."

CY, that would be my guess too...and possibly most cancels within 2 weeks.

can't see many being cancelled much before that other than for an emergency or complete change of plans. 

As several have posted if they had a 21day cancelation period with the present system,? What would so many have to gripe about

I agree, JV, but the deed is done and the sledgehammer is to implemented when the adjusting the nut might have done the job😉

Just to clarify, this option (and a couple of others, like attaching a Travel card which works WITHOUT Touch ID or passcode) are only available on the iPhone NOT the iPad, which also has a card loaded into ApplePay...this always requires full authorisation.

It does make one wonder who?  They got feedback from ,and as any "consultations ?"it depends on how the questions were formated as to how and what the answers would be

With the deposits those that and it seems many these days,. are not  short of a penny or two ,will still book well in advance to ensure they have a pitch ,

It will still upset some, when the popular sites and periods are full until only 21days to sort our holiday?

oHs son freely admits it as he advises us his monthly morgage payments are more  than our  monthly pensions

Oh, I am sure we can find other things not to our liking, dogs, lack of electricity metering, use of awning ground sheets ruining grass pitches, speeding, prices,  Give me time and I am sure I can think up others.

peedee

As I posted earlier, the club are basing this 'upgrade' on the 'success' of the new European booking system.

however, the turnover and cancellation rate there is microscopic compares to the UK booking market.

folk just don't change their ferry and Euro campsite bookings due to rain or on a whim, these are large scale, expensive, full commitment bookings which only get changed in a dire emergency....or pandemic.

mirroring this system for the UK didn't seem necessary to me just to ease UK cancellations when a move to 21 days would have worked...or at least been tried for a season or two.

having said that, we are where we are and it won't really affect us as we don't usually book too far ahead.
