No News Yet on the New Booking System

I noticed in the latest magazine there is an article on potential changes to the site booking system. I am sure we had a similar article a couple of months ago? Although there seems a commitment to being able to book a pitch type they are less than clear on other changes such as deposits. Apparently they are still considering it and looking closely at member feedback, including Club Together!!! I suppose we should be encouraged that they are taking note of what is said on this forum? I could be wrong but there seems a sort on consensus on CT that probably its coming to the point where deposits might be the way forward, some more reluctant than others maybe? Obviously many would want to see the small print perhaps before accepting it as a way forward. A decision may well have been made but it seems that it could be a few more months before full details are made public.

Naturally.

It depends on what you want - a decent site of known quality or an unknown entity.🤷🏻‍♂️

Nowadays it is easy to checkout sites. What do I want? sites that I can get pitches on.

Well, you’ll probably be able to get a pitch on a club site once deposits kick in if we're to believe the tales we're told.👍🏻

They are all last years questions, questions submitted to the 2021 AGM haven’t been put up yet. Although the questions probably won’t be too dissimilar, I think there around 5 or so in the 2020 list that mention deposits, all with a very similar response from the Club, so it’s something that has been mulled over for a good while.

It seems strange that they have been attached to this years 2020 AGM. It should state they are 2019 questions.

I really wonder if it will make that much difference or as much difference as people make out? I still think that weekends and peak times will be booked up.

I remember the last 'big change' of going from one booking day to a rolling system and how many posters were in favour of the change, and now people complain about the current system?

Interesting how a few posters are now saying they'd like to keep no deposits and also how the ones that want deposits use club sites the least?

It won't change my booking habits in any event, but at least 12 months or more away?

It won’t change my habit of booking / planning well in advance. Although it is very likely to influence which provider I book with. Unless the deposits system is substantially different to the C&CC. Unfortunately I just don’t think the CAMC has the IT system to cope with anything radical.

I tend to agree, Corners. I don’t think it will make the booking situation any worse but it may not improve it in the way those who have been calling for changes wanted.

Wow, a whole year to debate the pros and cons before it happens🤣🤣

It’s just like the politicians. Leak somethings happening and by the time it does it has been so chewed over, everyone is sick and fed up with it and ready to accept it and move on.😂

So true! The eventual revelation becomes a relief as the gloom and doom mongers made it out to be so much worse than the reality 😆
