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.

Posted on 09/12/2021 12:08 by brueI would expect to find an amendment section in the new system, so that days can be added or changed without more deposits for a particular site?
Posted on 09/12/2021 13:27 by peedeeI think so.

As also posted under the present system we are "advised? "to cancel before making any amendments /alterations to our current bookings. which as I stated and had experience of this year, if you are trying to get an odd day or extend ,do not cancel or there is at busy times every possibility that those looking will take all or some of your booking that you have just cancelled,
Posted on 09/12/2021 11:27 by JVB66We have hopefully done all our tour bookings for next year,,in anticipation of what the new system may throw up? ,hence my inquiring posts
.
With it possibly being our last year of any long trips as in the past ,
we may not even manage all of next year
I have sent an Email to EGH asking for clarification although I am still waiting a reply from about two months ago, on a similar subject so am not optimistic about a reply ,

...but you'll be subject to the same 'possibly no HS left' scenario I alluded to earlier...
Steve has suggested making 'amendments' should this be the way forward once more info is gleaned...I'll be doing our few, too...although they are June bookings so should really be an issue re: ending up on grass.

Posted on 09/12/2021 15:07 by brueIs it possible to amend present bookings without an element of risk? There comes a point where we all have to accept the status quo.

What's that old saying you like to tell everyone? It's good to talk. So if you need to amend, why not take your own advice and speak to the site staff, as you know they can amend a booking in any way and not lose any of your days.
So, by your own admittance you've booked up all of next year and maybe won't use all of those bookings. Is that not a prime example of speculative booking and the need for deposits?

Even under the conditions of the new system? And that is of course when the site staff return your call to talk that the pitch/pitches have not been snapped up by others
And your second paragraph is against what we have been advised by your head office ,that is to Book Early
