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.

It's academic as it's in the past, the new system is here and while it's mildly fun to speculate about what caused it it's here and talking about what possibly caused it won't change that.

It is irrelevant if it is past the present if it is  base on actual data at the time 
No to mention tht new system is not operating as yet 
Neither is it what possibly caused the changed , for god sake 25% is a huge figure

But that is not the same at all as saying 25% of bookings which are subsequently cancelled are speculative. We know cancellations ran at 25% but we do not know what proportion of that 25% was speculative. That is the huge point you are missing by a country mile!

What part of 25% of all bookings where cancelled do you not understand ? 
25% is a huge amount

For any Member who has a few spare quid, nothing changes. The speculative bookings will continue, but the vast majority will cancel giving 21 days notice ... deposit returned to be used in a further speculative booking ...

If the Caravan and camping club, and commercial sites is anything to go by, speculative booking will reduce considerably dramatically

I wish I could answer that.

But is 25% on cancellations good, bad or average for a club of this size?

Who cares?

I can honestly say that all the sites I've  been on the last few years have not had 25% of pitches empty in fact they've been choca block that's why I'm sceptical of the figures.

Please stop being rude.

You have continually said that the 25% of bookings which are cancelled are speculative. They are not. 25% of bookings were often cancelled. That is not the same as saying they were all speculative. Nobody knows how many were speculative.

You didn’t take my earlier advice to re-read statements and posts so I am going to cease trying to make you see the facts.

The near full sites could be because pitches were re-let, Arch. If so, it means the club didn’t lose revenue.

I suggest people start doing the sums involved, eg 950,000 x £25 (at least) will bring in revenue to the club.  At present there is no security of income for the club whilst people enjoy using the system to their own advantage even by legitimate means.

Posted on 24/01/2022 18:46

Yes, that’s the crux of the matter. It’s all about £££ in the till.
