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.

Not to worry Ina, I'm getting confused too, we seem to be having the same conversations on more than one thread...booking ahead, booking systems, choosing a pitch and TVs in awnings...laughing

I must apologise for my post last night, senior moment ☹️. I thought I was reading the thread: Booking ahead is unfair at some sites. I promise to pay more attention next time wink

I made the same mistake hence my deletion. I did try to steer "Booking ahead is unfair at some sites" here but it didn't work.

Bit of info that i have been told and i do not think it was just hearsay ,from the souce it came from,

pitch allocation should be "interesting" as not only grass or hardstanding but awning or non awning ,as well as serviced

Deposits £25 or 25% of booking if less, to run in tandem with old booking system?

cancellations 21days min?

Starting in second quarter next year April?

Still odd funtions to be sortedsurprised

Don't spoil all the fun with your insider info jv. Speculation makes for good discussionwink

We're on a zoom meeting next week to show us how the new system is going, along with a lengthy q&a session afterwards. Quite looking forward to it as there's loads to learn for us. We all start back early next spring for all the training necessary.

JVB66 If that info comes to fruition they sound very similar to C & CC ways.

When you say pitch allocation did you get the impression that wardens will allocate a specific pitch number to members on arrival according to that member’s choice of grass HS with or without awning etc?  That is - will drive round and choose your own unoccupied pitch  be a thing of the past.

JK If there is a Q and A session pls could you ask if you can come back on CT and give us some of the info.   Sort of like an unofficial/official leak.  Just a thought. Enjoy your Zoom meeting.
