Posted on 22/07/2022 15:39 by TakethedogalongI seem to recall someone suggesting they had bought a package used elsewhere in the hospitality industry, but we’re having issues adapting it to requirements🤔 But it’s a long time ago, and I could be wrong. It’ll all get sorted at some point no doubt.

R2b posted somewhere the other day that it could well be the current financial situation may have done the job that deposits were designed to do in stopping speculative bookings. I think he made a good point and perhaps the club thinks so too so perhaps they’ll cancel the whole scheme 🙂🤷🏻♂️

Posted on 22/07/2022 15:46 by JVB66Hopefully we may revert to present system with a 21 day cancellation

Or better still stay with the current system with its USP and flexibility. I believe that the prices being charged will also have a detrimental effect on the "clubs" P&L sheets going forward. Recently we had 3 nights on a private site with facilities etc of equal standard of the CMC @£94.00 that was followed by 3 nights at a CMC site @£152 ,a not insignificant increase.

Posted on 22/07/2022 15:34 by OneputtProbably that and the fact they want to have their own bespoke system instead of buying an existing proven off the shelf system

I thought they did buy an off the shelf solution which was originally used for the Overseas Sites operation. Don't think I have heard they have had problems with that element of the system. The problem of course is that UK campsites will take up far more bandwidth especially as they are allowing pitch surface choice. There must be a serious problem as there seems, as yet, no end in sight? Rather ironically the C&CC booking system offers everything the new CMC system will offer but seems to work perfectly well.

Posted on 22/07/2022 14:42 by WherenextWhy is the management unable to deal with this?
Maybe the Management is incompetent?
Just a thought.

Posted on 22/07/2022 16:36 by eurortravellerIt’s not unusual and it’s not incompetent management. There are many other travel companies which don’t offer bookings so far ahead. For instance train journeys on Eurostar trains from London St Pancras are only available six months in advance.
