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.

“but the general absence on here of dozens of anti deposit posts does perhaps suggest there is a general acceptance of the idea?”

Yes, hallelujah!

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.

Obviously you never used the site directory to search for CLs. It so much easier looking through the SD than having to download a PDF file and print off separate pages, even if one has a printer. It would be a nail in the coffin of CLs if the SD was abandoned.

I agree with you 

Searching sites for a touris far easier using the SD than ploughing through the booking website when looking for sites and the info that is there and with the map it gives all the sites on your journey

Sorry I have not read all the previous posts,so this may have been covered,but in all the years of being a member I have never had to cancel,but I have had to change the touring plans suddenly twice now.

Recently we were staying at the Club's Bearsted site when we received a telephone call that my FIL was unwell and waiting hospital results,we were booked in for Tredegar House and the Bearsted site managers made this difficult time manageable, especially  phoning Tredegar House whilst I was in the office.

So my question is even though we had booked Tredegar House but stayed on an extra 2 nights at  Bearsted would we in future loose the deposit at Tredegar House even though the Club were still getting our site fees.

Happily my FIL didn't require hospital and we could continue holiday even getting into Baltic Wharf a day earlier than planned.
