UK staycation boom predicted

Even though HO are saying that they not yet going to state when the club sites are going to open it appears that CLs are set to open in 12th April. That should suit us fine as we need only cancal/postpone a couple of CLs at the start of our planned trip, provided of course that OH can get an appointment at the hairdressers as soon as they open and M.D. opens up Wales by then.

I see we can "go out for the day" from 29 March, so that will enable us to blow the cobwebs away before any proper trips.

Does self contained accommodation only mean that site facilities will open up? The DG said yesterday that opening up everything was the Club's intention. A few questions to be answered.

Mmm, I definitely heard that use of communal buildings was taboo.

Just booked 1st 2 weeks in May at one of our old stomping grounds in Dorset, fully svcd pitch, no problems, and i got a 10 pct discount, sortedjust got to decide what to do with our BF flexi tickets

Not Bingham Grange, really liked this site, but that was before the club bought it ,  now it has too many occupants who hate it because it is not of a club design 

Talk about a surge in bookings. We experienced that yesterday - our kids ( grown up with family's of their own) both booking time away in our static van. Barely giving us time to set it up for the season. I'm sure we can squeeze some time in though.

There's the VAT reduction to consider if bookings are made now.

Hi David, Had an interesting conversation with the manager of a very large touring site at Hollywell bay, near Newquay, whilst visiting yesterday.

I asked how bookings were going, and he said almost all their accommodation was fully booked.

I asked about touring an he said there was not much left, for example there was nowhere on site that two side by side pitches were available nor were there any dog friendly pitches left. 

I said that was clearly good news for them, this was around mid day so no news then on the dates of opening, and he said it was but they were hoping that Easter opening might be possible-he will be dissapointed.

So when is it you are fully booked, I asked. July and August was the answer.

But are you not fully booked then usually, I asked.-Yes!!

His view was that people may be booking earlier, for the busy July/August period, and they were actively looking at ways of encouraging stays outside of the school holiday periods.
