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.

I'm quite miffed that I can't book this summer's holiday till September, Apart from everything else and not being told officially it's only now that I can't I realise  how much I enjoy booking. Yes strange I know!

But on the plus side it does take me back to the good old days, a mini four month booking day!

I think the whole thing, communication / delay in June onward bookings is very poor. It would seem that because they know they will be able to sell them to someone, they are not bothered about releasing the rest  of half term several months after the start. Those who have no option but to go at that time now have to decide, do they hang on and hopefully get the rest of the days when released, or do they look for an alternative provider. If they hang on there is of course the risk that they won’t get what they want and by September other operators may be booked up for that week.

Steve and TW I agree. Personally it won't affect me in any way as I'm flexible as to when I can go away. But for any one who needs to book with any certainly for next summer then they will rightly go elsewhere.

There should have been some sort of announcement and even worse there still isn't.

I can't even think about next year yet! Having said that you would have thought that they could just move the current deadline by a few days to accommodate those that are half booked?

The new system is a bit worrying as I checked one of my September bookings and discovered I had acquired two children over five and one under. They weren't on the original booking confirmation! Just wondered what would have happened had I had to amend under the new system? That would have meant a deposit through no fault of my own!

Haven’t we seen this sort of delay elsewhere in relation to the clubs website, including CT? Six weeks and counting to remove an offensive item is a sad joke, plus the inability to cure the server error problem. Then there's the Late Availability issue, CL searches and I’m sure there are other matters they’re also 'working hard' to sort out as well as the new booking system which seems to be going nowhere and causing folk to be inconvenienced.

CAMC, you really need to get your act together😥
