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 at this time there is no need to as the QA suggest can ell your present booking ,so there is not a risk as you suggestundecided

JVB. There are two suggestions on the FAQs, either cancel and re-book on the new system or manage two sets of bookings which means:  keep one on the old system and add the new extra booking which will require a deposit and second check in. But there is no guarantee under either system that the new dates you want will be there.

I do not think you have understood what is being posted, and not just by mesurprised

You are suggesting if I keep some bookings on the present system and book the odd days on the new system pay a deposit?

That would be interesting for the site staff when we rock up on site as this year as one site booking would be as follows Sun to wed  npresent system  Thurs with deposit, Fri  with present system Sat with deposit,,rest of booking on present system  wink

That is exactly what CAMC are suggesting JVB. If you don't want to cancel and re-book then the only alternative is to keep the old booking and add new bookings on the new system and pay a deposit. This will mean booking in twice on your chosen site, returning to the office again.

Yes, why not?    Admin will not be your problem.

Could be an issue if you have booked a HS on your new booking but one is not available for the days on the old. It would mean moving. Not that convenient for those with a caravan.

I agree Brue. This sort of scenario will eventually work its way out of the system as more and more people start to book all of their sites  under the new system. I can appreciate that JVB probably spends more time in his van than many so will have more chance to test the various ways of doing things but I am sure the Club will be aware that small issues will occur and be happy to sort them out accordingly. Providing all site managers are as clued up as JK then shouldn't be any problems and if there are they should be easy to sort out?

Yes, I was thinking that too, but as our present bookings are on HS only sites, it will not be a problem personally.

If it all gets too complicated next year, we would just cancel and go elsewhere.

But dealing with multiple bookings for a stay will not otherwise be the member's problem.   I don't envisage multiple reception visits either, this fancy new system will surely be able to cope with paying for the visit in one go?  ðŸ˜‡

I did also suggest they do a separate directory for CL's could be the answer to the post I was replying to. No way did I suggest they should do away with a directory. As I have done before I have suggest the directory is available, for those that want it, in PDF format. It is probably already produced in that format when it is sent to the printers so no extra work apart from uploading to the website.

Sorry if I misunderstood your post, David, I for one couldn't do the amount of CL visits that we do without the use of the SD for easy reference,not always being able to access WiFi.
