I haven't seen any confirmation or otherwise regarding this but have just read it on Faceache with a date of 25th June being, allegedly, given by a member of site staff for implementation.

UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON BOOKINGS


We are normally able to book for next June from today.
However this isn’t possible as the website is moving over to deposits in the next couple of weeks.
So at this time we cannot book anything for next June until the system is live.

Perhaps the Club is holding back bookings beyond Juune 2023 until the deposit system and pitch selection comes in in a "few months" That might make sense?

Not really, when May cut off partway through half term. If folk have to wait until September / October to book the other half, they may well look elsewhere and cancel what they have.

The FB post said (we're told) the deposit scheme would be implemented 25 June. Ro has posted saying "…..next few months".

You can deduce from that which seems the most factual 🀷🏻‍♂️

we'll never know as the club isn't telling. I would imagine the software (a pre loved item if I remember correctly from another forum/post) has been tested and isn't up to the job or the hardware isn't.

I think you will find that JWAJs  recent post quoted the FB poster said pushed back until September. Ro' s post said a few months, so September could be about right. 😊

Again that was based on rumour and doesn’t alter the fact that the FB posts were unconfirmed and certainly the first post referred to by JwJ can be put in the box labelled "fake news". The second could be labelled "perhaps, maybe". All down to people posting on FB to make others believe they have inside knowledge. πŸ™

All supposition CS. None of us really know what is really going on and inspite of all the trumpeting of its coming from the Club there are still no dates of its arrival.

I check CT occasionally and my interest in this thread regarding the new booking system is how the club will inform its members of the start date when it is able to introduce the system to us.  E.g Via the magazine, email/text, Facebook, or on the website  etc. 

Rowena says “Please keep checking on the website for further updates”  Therefore I am wondering if this is the official/only method of communication regarding the above mentioned info.

Rowena - If you are still continuing to monitor this thread perhaps you may be able to check with the correct dept in HO and post on here as to the method(s) to be used to notify members. 

I did try to fill in a contact us form regarding this info but was unsuccessful.

One day, I shall log on to make a booking and I shall find the process somewhat different; probably, inter alia, I shall be asked for a deposit.

I shall barely turn a hair and I am not remotely concerned, or feel a need to know, when that time might be.

Re last sentence. Spot on.

I wonder if that could be linked in to the Deleted User post on page 9 you replied, "WoW" to.

It would be interesting to know what the content said
