Hi everyone,
Not sure if it’s just me but since starting caravan life I have found one site which is busy most of the time and this site is chatsworth park. What is frustrating is you can book space here well in advance but noticed that people release their booked space indicating that they only booked in case they want to go. Maybe a small deposit would stop the crazy booking system.

Posted on 12/11/2021 08:10 by SteveLWould folk joining these days really not have had a look at sites and noticed availability before signing up. At least we had an excuse, when we joined then found the Bank holidays unavailable, as online booking didn’t start until a year after we joined.

Probably they wouldn't, Steve, because they've not got the benefit of our knowledge of the state of play and maybe don't realise how popular the hobby has become. Having said that, anyone with their eyes open should realise how many LVs are on the road and they've all got to pitch somewhere.

Posted on 12/11/2021 07:34 by RufsAgreed, as i said elsewhere, I dont suppose anybody from EG draws up any sort of wish list from these posts and feeds it into management, in fact it is only on the rare occasion that we see any response from staff posted on CT.

Nothing said on here is going to influence the decision on deposits, it seems that decision has already been made. But what might be useful to the Club are the issues and problems that members might experience with the change and it is likely they take those concerns into account even if only to adjust the way they explain the changes and counter some of the concerns and possible negativity. I have never felt the CMC is a consultative or democratic organisation but I do believe they take account of feedback in planning how member services are operated. One theme that has been in existence for years is the problems people experience with booking certain sites and times, particularly weekends v longer stays. This has been a bigger issue recently as more people have taken holidays in the UK. Had the booking system been running perfectly well with little of no feedback from members highlighting difficulties would they be thinking about deposits and all the initial systems expense that entails?

As a poster has mentioned earlier, New posters to CT have mentioned some of the perceived? problems with the booking system, but most it seems are from those who do not or cannot arrange their holidays
But then how many new members will be with the club now that it seems most of the overseas holiday destinations are open?
Posted on 12/11/2021 10:08 by brueHow would people feel, if like the C&Cc, minimum bookings were introduced on sites where there are weekend bottlenecks which prevent longer stays for some?
