New booking system with deposits

Posted on 01/06/2022 15:32 by JillwithaJay

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 think it’s very poor that the members are not being informed and kept up to date with what’s going on with the booking system.  We are currently away and are quite shocked as to how many pitches are available! I think the club is taking a big risk introducing this deposit system and also by not keeping members informed about what is actually happening.  The club is going to be holding an awful lot of members money!  The option of not paying a deposit was a nice benefit of being a member of the camc.  We are thinking of looking at other private sites now which we didn’t do before.  I hope they have thought about all this because it may not go the right way for them after all.

It’s the 1st July. We’re supposed to be able to book 13 months in advance. Been trying to book for half term (summer) next year, end of May beginning of June for a few weeks now, but still only able to book to end of May. What’s going on CAMC?

Evening

It's not just club sites Arch. All the sites in this area (Ilfracombe/ Woolacombe) are the same. I've spoken to friends who work for the other club and on commercial sites in various regions and they are experiencing similar.

Saying that, we're seeing a bit of a trend this year with lots (way more than usual) of last minute bookings and outfits just turning up on spec (motorhomes and caravans). We were due 20 arrivals today leaving ten spaces. As of 8pm this evening we're full and turned away five vans.

It's been a long but great day so I'm off for a large one (or two)

They are holding off on further releases until they can bring the new booking system online and give us a wonderful user experience.🤔  When that is I don’t think has been definitively communicated, but is likely to be a few months. The fact that folk are sat with part of half term booked and won’t know until possibly September if they can book the rest, does not seem to concern them.

When speaking to some site managers we know(had phoned to see if OH was still in hospital)it seems from the conversation that ,some problems not envisaged ,have come to light, and it is now hoped to get it sorted by September? 

Even though some training has taken place with site staff,it seems that is when those who will need to operate the system at site level,have noted the problems,

It is only what I have been told
