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.

We have just got back from shopping and got chatting to our neighbour who also happens to be a Club member and caravanner. At the weekend he had been to Morton on Marsh and by way of asking how it went I asked if he had heard the Club were going to be taking deposits from next year. His immediate reaction was that it was about time!!! Its difficult to judge whether that is a common conclusion but the general absence on here of dozens of anti deposit posts does perhaps suggest there is a general acceptance of the idea?

So the changing  of your booking will now be easy  as the information from the website when the new system was being drip fed did say to change a book ING to face, First was the way to do itundecided

Hence the likely hood of many T&Cssurprised

Acceptance yes, but agreement, maybe not.

Reading between the lines in all the spin that is being put on the changes to the booking system, I think we are not going to have a handbook and map for much longer.

The only problem with that is of course the CL's? Perhaps what they will do, until they get some sort of online booking system for CL's is to separate out the Club sites from CL's? The Club site brochure could be condensed into probably a 10 page booklet with 4/5 five site to the page grouped by region with members directed to the website for more details. I think it would be useful to be able to download the site/cl directory as a PDF file which would enable the printing of individual pages as an when needed.

I think when given the club have in their "wisdom?." already told the membeship some of what is going to be imposed on us ,your assumption that it is accepted is not really validwink

And your neighbour until you spoke to him wasi n the dark about it even though. Some of it was in the magazine ,undecided

If that is how it is going  to be now implemented ? Thats fine but we were first advised a booking to be cancelled First before any alteration was made

I think you have misunderstood JVB. It is only recommended that you cancel and rebook if you have a booking under the current system and want to make a change after the new system has been introduced.

The FAQs explain.

Because the system is not as user friendly as they want us to believeundecided

It I think is going to be a very Interesting? Time until at least end of March 2023surprised

It is recommended that you cancel and then rebook when both systems are running together    because it will then involve a deposit for the altered booking if pitches by then are still availableundecided
