It's taken a long time to get to this point. I think it was around 10 years ago when I bought up the suggestion that folk should be allowed to book a pitch surface type, and I have been bringing it up at every suitable opportunity since. I know there will be many who will welcome this facility, when the new booking engine is released at some stage in 2022.

I suspect that this actio will greatly limit my usage of many club sites. I have no desire to book 1 monhs ahead and no available hardstand means no ta

Good on you for your dogged persistence, David.👏🏻

Booking by surface type will benefit all. Some prefer grass, some HS, so each can choose.

On some sites, only if you choose early enough.

On some sites it’s always been necessary to book early so there’s no difference. With the change eventually in place, you’ll have the certainty of a HS when you arrive.

I can’t see what your point is.🤷🏻‍♂️

It could mean even more of a booking frenzy if booking a year in advance is still part of the "New system"

Although if deposits have the affect some think, that could change. Presumably surface type and deposits won’t come in until November 22 at the earliest, unless they intend to have the present system running alongside the new.

My point is very simple. Pre pandemic I have usually booked 3 months ahead. Not interested in sites that need booking further ahead. Not interested in the honeypot sites either. CMC sites may therefore not be an option for me

The effect of deposits will depend on T & Cs

Perhaps the thinking to introduce this at the same time as deposits will discourage those who are inclined to book lots of pitches and end up by cancelling many of them? I guess only time will tell..

We book many of our pitches at sort notice, and providing we adopt a bit of flexibility, we haven't generally found a major problem. However, we generally don't book weekends, because of our commitments elsewhere. For our big holidays (e.g. 6 week summer stints) we do book in advance, but also use a combination of CAMC site, private sites and C&CC sites. How this works with paying deposits at CAMC sites as well as others, remains to be seen but I'm sure we will find a way of working it all out. For us, some of the fun is in the planning.. 🙂
