No News Yet on the New Booking System

It is like a hotel booking system as per the ccc they come as a package 

iI will be interesting with rhe grass pitches in wet conditions ?,at least it seems you can still find the one you "like"out of those available when you arrive on site

We’ve been cancelled due to weather on a mixed grass / HS site,  when we had only booked a few weeks before, on a last booked first out basis. Presumably with surface booking it would be those who had booked grass who were bumped, even if they had booked months before?

Some sites like St Agnes, which is all grass, are weather dependent. We've had cancelled bookings there due to poor ground conditions, nothing will change on that score.

More work for site staff, as when they phone to cancel because of any reason ,will they also refund deposits? 

Hopefully! We’ve had a warning email re cancellation within the 72hours, even though the CC did the cancelling. Apparently because they didn’t tick a box. Presumably if they don’t tick refund the deposit, you won’t get it and have to chase.

when my O/H and I joined the club in the late 70s a deposit was required for each site booking I think it was £5 per booking but pitch fees +2 were about £7to8 per night and member seemed happy to pay .also I dont remember non members having to a supplement to use the sites

OH i forgot to mention that the wardens took you to your pitch ,cant remember when that system stopped operating 

We had similar at Nunnykirk👍

We didn't join until 1990 and the £5 deposit was still in force then and for a few years after but they had stopped showing you to your pitch before I joined. I think deposits had stopped within a couple of years, so about 1992/1993.

What happens now if people have to leave a site due to problems, eg flooding? I think refunds are given from central accounts aren't they?
