The OP posted in February that the site was very slow. It’s still painfully slow. It would appear that either the IT team at CAMC don’t care about the user experience or they are being denied the resources they need to fix the problem. I wonder which it is?

As I understand it the server side of the Club IT operations is contracted out which I expect rather ties the hands of Club staff. Obviously money is probably at the root cause but Club management have to strike a reasonable balance on that score. Their main concern will be that the booking side of the site takes priority. Even if we moved the forum away from the main website by using stand alone software it would still need supporting by sufficient server capacity which can be very expensive. We have muddled along like this for, what is it, nine and a half years!!!!

I don’t personally have any issues with the booking side of the site. Occasionally it might run a little slow if a lot of folk are booking. However, that will probably be true of most holiday type sites at the moment. It was certainly the case when I amended our Brittany Ferries booking a week ago.
