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 appreciate that the full details are not yet available but it would seem that full refunds with a 21 day notice defeats the whole object of reducing speculative booking. It would encourage a mad scramble in the intervening period as members search for availability due to cancellations. The C&CC operate a non refundable deposit system which appears to work well. A refundable deposit system, in my opinion, is not the answer.

I suppose the truth is we will have to wait and see? I thought the C&CC did refund deposits but only up to 31 days before arrival on site? If I am right the CMC version is a bit more generous at 21 days. Whether you are right might depend on how many people, who had previously allegedly booked speculatively, will be put off by having to pay a deposit many months before the 21 days limit kicks in? If its just a single site then probably not but if it multiple sites, that could add up.

A number of posts hold up the c&cc club as an example of how the cmc club could be improved, I have rejoined the c&cc club this year after a few years absence I'm afraid it still seems to me to be way behind this club in the ease of the booking system, being able to see at a glance pitch availability by the week, month, year, makes booking so easy, with this club but with the c&cc club it seems to me you have to go through the complete steps of booking a site and pitch before you know if ones available so how would you know if there are signs of speculative booking, I can see you could say that about this club because its so easy to see pitches being booked and then becoming available god forbid that this club follows the example of the c&cc in anything.

OH does our bookings with CCC, she cannot get it to work either.
She just went to their website and a page came up ... check availability and book.....but it will not do anything unless she enters dates. I think there must be a different page she should be on, but she cannot find it.
Can you post a link to the correct page?

Scroll across to the month you want and the dates available will be in bold. Dates not available will be 'greyed out'. If dates you want are not available, try selecting a different pitch type. Or select a different site.
