New Site Booking System

The biggest issue when trying to book an extended tour is the availability of weekend nights already booked by ‘weekenders’. I don’t have an issue with that per say but I do doubt that the loss of 20% of say a £50 booking ie £10 is going to eliminate that problem. 

Also it is unclear whether during a continuous tour of sites, adjustments of one or two nights between sites (subject of course to availability) will be allowed without the loss of the original night’s fees and effectively having to pay twice for any nights changed. 

Just re-read the new rules and see that the minimum deposit will be £25 so that may deter late weekend cancellations. 

I wonder how many lost bookings are caused by 2 nighters and weekenders I'm sure using the right calculations a case could be made for minimum stays.

Don’t even think about it!😖

Minimum stays are anathema to touring. C&CC have lost a fair bit of my business by having such a restrictive system.

In any case, why would you want to penalise those who have to work Mon-Fri? That’s really unfair.

Not sure about that. I wouldn’t cancel for the weather (except dangerous driving conditions). However, I would if we weren’t feeling well, more so currently. Or when we were helping support my Mum, if there was a problem. £25 would not be an issue.

 More than 21 days or less, I don't think there will be any difference. I guess

Not going to happen.

I'm probably not making my self clear, sorry.

If I've read it right you do get you deposit back if you cancel more than 21 days before arrival. After that, say 20 days before arrival you don't. That's correct?

So if someone books within that 21 day window before arrival, say 14 days before arrival, then they would pay the deposit but under the rules they wouldn't get their deposit back?

Don't you think long stay members are being penalised by the change to booking pitch types, at least now if when you arrive the pitch type of your choice is not available you know within a couple of days it will be as a short stayer will move on so no problems there but the new system has very little flexabilty which is probably the reason behind the ccc system.

As the present proposed changes prove anything can happen if the vocal minority are loud enough.
