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.

So ... getting to the nitty gritty ... what percentage of the 6% are resold ...?

Actually I said 23/46 per year but shouldn’t that be per week? I think I’ve confused myself😂

Marks out of ten, please, Corners.

What ever figure it is, it will depend on the amount of pitches each site has as to what the weekly percentage of cancelation figures are

According to a post from Rowena some time back? many are resold. wink

That of course was before the spin about cancelations was required to make the case for depositssurprised

A quarter of a million last minute cancellations is a hell of a lot to fill in 72 hours.

Perhaps very few to fill at all, if many/most of the potential 250,000 bookings are replaced by another booking by the same member for different dates (or sites).  The proceedure for amending a booking is perhaps a bit unclear to some, who just cancel and rebook the difference they want.

Also, I have occasionaly ended up with three or four booking with a site in order to get the period that I want, and in conversation with the warden they have been ALL cancelled and replaced with a single booking in order to make their administration tidier.

Of course. It’s only possible to work on averages as we are not party to the actual site by site figures. Anyway, it matters not.

I can’t help thinking that covid cancellations contributed a lot to the figures and we all know that’s not a truly representative situation.

This may have been covered while I was away in the lakes but what happens if you book within 21 days of arrival?

The deposit will be the as normal but I assume it will be none refundable?

The only time you don't pay a deposit is if you turn up without a booking on the day.

Yes I said that but what about booking within 21 days of arrival, will it be non refundable?
