The Club have released more details of the new Booking System here
There are still finer details still to be arrived but the link (thanks Harry) sets out how the new system will work.
I have closed the previous thread on when we will get details of the new booking system and opened this one to allow comments specifically on the new system rather than discussing what they might be.

I doubt you could tour via them as easily as with a caravan or MH. But then as I pointed out earlier, is staying on one Site pitch for a fortnight really touring?
They are popular though from what we have seen. We have friends who use the Club’s glamping pods (the posh ones, not the wooden tent type) and during the Summer months, they are booked solid. They have used them in Winter as well, at very heavily discounted prices. They are warm and cosy, have ensuite facilities, everything you could need in terms of cooking, eating, relaxing and sleeping. It’s enabled our friends to continue to use the Club, which they love, and their daughter and SIL take their van and are not far away. The EF booking system is very good as well, you do pay everything up front I believe, so it’s total commitment.
We stayed on a lovely farm CL last week that put three similar glamping pods in last year. No one in them last week, but full over Christmas and New Year, and family are going to put in another, and build a little laundry that CL users will benefit from as well. So they are very much a thriving concept, both via the Club and elsewhere.

They are a bargain out of season & good value, in season?, not so much. I think the camping/tenting with trailers was not aimed at the less adventurous/less interested. I went back to camping for the solitude & stress free break, this year we will be glamping for a family of 8 in season & the house is up for sale😂😂.

The problem with drift especially when it is excessive is it buries the the subject matter in a heap of dross and makes it difficult for a new reader to find relevent useful comments. It is fine for those who frequent the forum 24/7 and are following the thread but think about the poor casual viewer trying to read the meat of an OP. Yesterday I was beginning to wonder (and I am being polite) why the discussion wasn't posted in the General Chat area!
