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.

Posted on 25/11/2021 18:26 by JVB66It is hoped i think from the second quarter of 2022 (April?)
which means if that is the date the " in tandem" system may well run into end of March 2023

One would hope we will now find a warden at the entrance, especially on bigger sites, fast tracking in members that have paid in advance with the advice to return to the office to give their pitch number and pick up the blipper for the barrier and toilet key if used? I just hope the saved time is not used to spend more time telling us how to pitch to the peg

That system you evisage could be "interesting?"on one couple and even two couple sites ,as those will only be one couple for several days
It the winter months even multi staffed sites could be down to one couple
so the busy w/ends Friday would still have queues

Once the new system starts, any booking after that date, be it in 2022, or 2023, will be subject to the new system. So, to avoid deposits, but not be able to choose your pitch type, you can book now, right up to December 2022. If you alter a booking after April 2022, it will be under new system. So, to guarantee a holiday, book ASAP. To guarantee a pitch type, wait until April 2022, in the hope that there will actually be any pitches left!
I think that’s how it works🤔
Chatsworth is out though. Every single weekend, every type of pitch, is now booked.

The only way it will be possible to end the queuing at the gates, is to allow booking of a specific pitch. That way, there is no need for the cavalry charge to get to a certain pitch on site, outfits can trickle in as they want, post noon/1pm, without a poor member of staff stuck out in all weathers dealing with queue.
I looked at the proposed new plans for Lady Margaret Park the other day, sure it had two lanes going in, but not certain🤔
