If you do not have the app, you will be provided with a log sheet to complete. For more information visit https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/uk-holidays/reopening-our-campsites/.

Due to the firebreak lockdown announced today in Wales I was cancelling my booking for Cirencester when I read Rowena’s post. Can I ask why when you cancel a booking it appears you have to select the reason from drop down menu & COVID-19 restrictions isn’t an option? And you must select a reason to be able to cancel. I‘ve just clicked on not required. I trust that I won’t get an automated reminder from our club about late cancellation rules!!!

This must be one of the quickest announcements made by the Club that was incorrect within 10 minutes and up to the time of posting is still incorrect. If you access the information page and click on Wales it doesn't include the notice of national lockdown.

I was expecting an amendment this afternoon but as usual Wales seems to be afterthought for most English based organisations.

I wonder if the Club has someone dedicated to making sure that Covid advice is bang up to date via all available media? 🙂

If they have they probably prioritise getting it on Faceache rather than their own website undecided

For once I won't be critical of an announcement from the Club being wrong since trying to keep abreast of the rapidly changing different laws, advice and recommendations is akin to trying to herd farts.

In actual fact they were correct in their original post but as the National Lockdown in Wales was headline news the criticism was directed at the poor response time to such news. 

If they want to keep their members informed of potential closure of sites then someone needs to be given the task of keeping an eye on breaking news.
