New booking system with deposits

I can't see that first point at all. If deposits were only a "prospect" at the time someone was looking to book, there'd be no need to look elsewhere. If they had been in force then you might have a point but as they weren't, I think it's arguable that their very absence could encourage people to book.

In any case, it's rare to find any type of holiday booking that doesn't call for a deposit, and often with much more stringent terms than this club is proposing, so deposits alone are little reason to go elsewhere in my opinion.

I agree. As far as I am aware existing bookings are not affected and could be cancelled without any penalty, although would be subject to a deposit if amended. Given that, it is more likely that folk will be making bookings to get in ahead of deposits. However, if the OP is referring to bookings for June 23 and beyond, I suppose it could result in members looking elsewhere if these are not released.

Again - seen on Facebook:-

Unconfirmed rumours from HQ are..... the new booking system has been pushed back until Sept at the earliest. This includes the 'D' word.
Current update will be to open June 23 bookings.

Let me think back to a post I entered earlier tis year

Well I posted somewhere it wasn't likely for the 23rd.

However the question is when the July and August (they have been linked in the past) booking date will be? Back to the first week in July?

Have the club given any indication yet to how this is going to work. 

Will we still be able to amend a booking online, ie move one booking to another site or to another date. 

What will be the time frame in which this can be done without penalties. 

What will the time frame for cancelling bookings without penalties be.

If anyone could tell me this or point me in the direction of the info I'd be grateful. 

TG try putting FAQs in the search box top menu bar. The new system details are on there using an FAQ format but I presume there may be updates added. I haven't checked. 

Why someone on FB puts up a post and then say it's unconfirmed is beyond me. What's the point unless they are trying to treat it as a news scoop to score brownie points.

HB, they’re called ‘power trippers’ for a short while they feel important🤷🏻‍♂️
