Does anyone else think it would be a good addition to the bookings area to show past bookings?

ie, dates from too and site.

I think it would be great to look back. It may remind you of great holidays at past sites you may have forgotten.

im open to comments and I have emailed the web team.

I don't see the point of it tbh. 

The website has a hard enough job coping now and I wouldn't have thought adding to its burden would help but good luck to you in your quest, ggess.

A lot of ( not caravanning) sites I use do allow you to view past orders for many years. Personally I would find it useful, I do tend to enter bookings into my iPad so can scroll back almost 5 years and find where we went when. Although this is not as obvious, unless I mess about turning calendars of / on.

However, as TW says the site is already struggling, the servers seem to be on there last legs, and I would not want to put them under any more stress.

I think it would be useful as long as the Website can cope and I believe it should!

Sorry no Pippah because the amount of data that will be added to the database especially as the years go by, I do believe in keeping my own record of where we've been and recently extracted this data from my computer calendar and have this in a personal database.

I've even started a personal blog [not published] of our journeys to remind us of our trips. 

Very much agree with you about the importance of being able to look back.

You could create this archive yourself by storing the booking confirmation e-mails you get. Depending on e-mail client you can usually create folders for storing mail. You would then have instant access to all the sites you have booked with all the information without the need to log on here. As far as this website is concerned we have a whole heap of things that need attending to before we start to consider other add ons. If we ever get to a stage where we can expand the functionality of this forum your suggestion would have to compete with other ideas but from recent experience I think you may need to be prepared to wait a long,long time! Sorry to sound negative but recent experience does not lend itself to optimism as far as this forum is concerned.

The clubs website is already a mess which can't deal with fairly simple tasks so why add to it.

We keep our own diary of trips so always have a record to look back on.

Put your bookings in Google calendar or a spreadsheet and you have all the details to hand when you need it.
