No News Yet on the New Booking System

Leave well alone.

No deposits and late cancellation are major benefits which it would be a shame to lose.

A better way of addressing the 'we'll book everything and then cancel at our leisure brigade' would be to simply limit the number of bookings one could hold on the system. If you were unable to hold more than, say, 5 simultaneous bookings over a year, then the net effect would be to smooth out a significant amount of the sites fully booked issues.

If deposits are brought in , I wont be paying it, we shall be looking elsewhere as it wont be in my interest to stay.

But everywhere else, except some CLs and CSs, charge deposits so you would achive nothing.

As any site manager will tell you, it is very rare that either of the above is seen by themselves

Doesn't that say everything about how Club sites are run. More time spent cleaning toilets than actually running and supervising the site.

Several Club centres hold rallies there without prices being eye watering.

I don't like deposits and I don't want deposits. I feel strongly about this.

 The club allow us to book as many sites as we want for a year ahead. I take advantage of this. They also allow us to cancel a booking or change it , which I also have used, although more so in later years through ill health. I pay extra for all this by way of the sites being more expensive than the commercial sites for just  a basic site and of course the membership fee.  I use the club sites because they are, for the most part, the same good standard.

If deposits are brought in , I wont be paying it, we shall be looking elsewhere as it wont be in my interest to stay. It reminds me of when we were all encouraged to buy diesel cars and now the government are phasing them out.

I stay with the club because there are no deposits to pay, it makes booking so much easier if there are unforeseen problems along the way.  If the no deposit system is taken away then I just as well book some where else or perhaps join the other club.

That's a separate thread. A pity to see it wandering. I understand Joanie's comments about not wanting deposits. I think my main reason for them is pitch choice.

The other club requires a deposit  ...
