Hope you haven't been naughty and overstayed your 90 day welcome. 

On the subject of deposits, which has been aired here many times in the past, if CAMC wanted to avoid them yet still impose a measure on control it could be done by the simple expedient of taking credit card details with a penalty fee of X imposed for late cancellations/no shows. I have always thought the 72 hour break point too short and should be amended to a week. I would submit that the above proposal would be equitable and satisfy those who are reluctant to pay deposits.

First night stay is only held up to 8pm, on the day of arrival. Beyond that, Club has every right to relet the pitch, including the days beyond, unless Member has contacted them to discuss otherwise. Deposit or no deposit.

In Summer, if the Club could extend that 8pm a bit later, (bearing in mind it doesn’t get dark until 10pm) they might pick up a few very late bookings. Bit difficult at moment given that a human has to book you in, but not out of the way with a bit more technology.

As I have just posted on another thread,  security is now very much in vogue with the increasing it seems problems with  unauthorised? entry to sites,

FM has now had to close its LNA and install extra barriers,for just that reason  ,,at busy arrival times a member of the site team manning the first barrier to check off the booked arrivals

I dont think it was a matter of security unless one counts Covid but at Southport a member of staff outside checked us off against his list and we made the payment by phone. We later collected our barrier key and paperwork from the office. Quite a good scheme we thought.

It is definatly  security, at less busy arrival times on arrival at First barrier you need to contact office via push button speakerphone ,and if you have a booking give your details to gain access, it you do not have a booking until a site staff member has attended and checked who you are ,no access is permitted

No, totally unlike now. If there are cancellations the club can sell that pitch to someone else. Also at the moment people are more often than not are telling the club they cancel and that pitch can be resold?

And remember no shows went down last time they removed deposits, I wonder what will happen this time?

Let's do an example. A three night booking is taken and deposits paid, they don't turn up, What happens to the other two nights? Does the site resell or as they have paid a deposit not dare to? I suppose it will depend on the T&Cs? A bit academic as deposits will now happen, but not for 12+ months

But PD you have often stated you don't use club sites often, will you now start?
