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.

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?

I think so if its part of a longer tour  TTDA.  Last trip of 51 days we spent 15 days each at 2  principle destinations, 5 days twice at others and the rest of the time odd days of 1 or 2 nights  traveling. . I regard it as a multi center tour .

Yes I appreciate you tour your way across to your principle destination. I had the fortnight stay in one spot in mind really. I doubt the Club would want folks hopping on after one night via the pods though, that’s an awful lot of cleaning for one night. 

It looks as though you will be able to hop down to say Cornwall on the one booking experience though, if folks like to do it via Club Sites. Example for us would be Home to Tewkesbury, Tewkesbury to Exeter, Exeter to Godrevy, all via one visit to the bookings page. At the moment, something like that would be three separate bookings.

We did very similar when we had a caravan and certainly considered it touring. Personally I would find it strange to do the same with our MH, it sort of defeats the object of having it. However, folk do and to me they are still touring, just on a more limited scale.

Perhaps it is time this thread was closed, a new one can always be started when more information becomes available.

I think you're right I think the horse has well and truly been flogged to death, using this thread for updates isn't practical.

It’s within the OP's power, PD, if he so chooses.

Perhaps DK can leave this open for those who wish to carry on the chat and open another  as he has with this one when updates become available.

I thought the club said it was an 'extension of use' of the 'successful' roll out of the 'new' overseas booking system?

Posted on 15/01/2022 12:48

Yes, that's right, it will be interesting to see how this works out. I've just had a look at the overseas booking section.

I read with dismay about the cc going to change the way we have to book a site. There is nothing wrong with the system as it stands all this new system does is create more paper work and I can see trying to get a deposit back as a problem knowing how company's love to hang on to cash.

Why fix something when its not broke.

Isn’t that exactly what’s happening so far?

I find it a bit strange that the posters castigating others for going off topic aren’t actually posting on topic themselves.

Hey-ho, I’ve added to the 'dross'😄

Apparently it was 'broke'. Rowena had explained the reasoning behind the change.

Quite a lot of us think it is a backward step but it’s done and it’s too late now to turn the clock back.

We have a few forum moderators and a community manager. Any of those can close a thread at any time they choose, they haven't on this one as it seems to be ticking along ok. As long as it doesn't get aggressive and turn into a spat, breaking all the community guidelines I think a bit of drift is ok.

Someone usually comes along and brings it back to topic
