More site closures

Gatwick is shown as being Open All Year in the handbook.

This isn't the first time the club haven't kept members informed of important decisions. Do they not realise they are in the Leisure Industry and this is 2021? It often seems to me that this club, lauded to high heavens by some members, are still not doing the basics right.

Run Sites - Have members? - keep them informed of decisions affecting sites! 

Not rocket science.

This can't be put down to lack of personnel. This sort of thing can be done from home or by the same person who has to go into those web pages of those sites and block any further bookings etc.

From what I have heard today there may be more? yet

Probably those not so popular?

There is an answer to this, members should vote at the AGM for a complete change at the top, time for fresh blood me thinks

I don't think this forum should be the first place the club inform members of the temporary closure of sites. It is more important to place the information on the actual sites information page as has already been done apparently. Why do some members who use the forum always think this is the best platform to inform members of such decisions. As long as the members who have already booked the sites for the relevant periods are informed and the members who intended to book the sites can see that it is closed from the sites information page, then job done. As I understand it, only a small percentage of members bother with the forum anyway.  

How many read the site  information pages , as can be noted by those arriving on sites early when it states on all sites information the earliest arrival time?  and site staff when pointing it out to members it is also on the confirmation emails ,are met with a blank stare

The reason people arrive at sites early has nothing to do with them not having read the information on the site page. !!!  

Compo,

I have just logged onto the web page for Gatwick site. There is no obvious information on there as of today to show it will be closed. If I had a booking for Christmas at that site I would just assume that many more people had the same idea as all of the possible booking dates are shown as FULL.

I don't think members posting on here expect information to be posted here first at all. They do expect their club to post information on ALL of their media outlets, whether it be social media, forums or their own web pages etc. 

It's not too much to ask for is it?

I don't know as a fact but I suspect that the vast majority of members use online booking, there will always be a small percentage that don't. If the majority use online booking it means they have a email address so the Club could use that to keep members informed? I did have a look at the Gatwick site and there seems nothing on the webpage to indicate any changes except that the bookings after a certain date show as full.

The information is out there about Gatwick etc on the individual site pages under "site information." I can't quite understand why there is a "News and Events" area on the club web site which doesn't contain these updates.
