Perhaps the Club will have to ration the available pitches, and limit speculative booking.

I think all bookings can be considered speculative given the current circumstances. Don’t block or even think of booking weekends, though๐Ÿ˜›

Ttda, we have hardstanding, electric point, water (bring your own hoselock) and access to the Sewers. Site in quiet cul-de-sac.

Drawbacks? Feeding aged housekeeper, listening to aged housekeeper, being snooped by aged housekeeper. Basically, aged housekeeper.smile

If staying any length of time mowing of lawn might go down well with owners.

We have some nice bolt holes, but doubt even these will be the one or two outfits on site we are used to using. 

Only got one booking so far, thatโ€™s for an event. We are going to get handbook and maps out later, look at some mini tours we can just go on a whim when things are ok/suit.

We’ve only got the bank holidays  booked as I normally do those in September/October but as for anything else, I can’t seem to muster up any enthusiasm even though I’m sick of being at home and missing being away.     I think to myself is it worth booking as it’ll probably be cancelled. - what a sad state of affairs ๐Ÿ˜•

Maybe I’m being far too pessimistic, but I can’t imagine going anywhere this year. Probably  it will just be a trip down our fields for a quiet weekend. Well just wait and see. No frantic booking.

Am still thinking of going abroad again this year but the crossing prices have gone mad. The same crossing with the same company and same times on similar dates last year was £268 (booked pre Covid19) This year it’s  £485. And the DFDS website says it’s full. Club price the same. Tunnel is cheaper but still much more expensive than last year’s ferry crossing. Are there overnight stays very close to the tunnel entrance in Calais? We normally overnight for free in the Dunkirk terminal.

Bit difficult to give a discount off ยฃ0.00.๐Ÿ˜‚

what? you never said it was free!!!

I assume you have a commercial booking platform capable of multi-bookings and search strings - I want to book!
