What’s the point of the Club if sites are full?

Using the 72 hours cancellation option is available for every single one of the entire membership..... why wouldn't anyone use it. 🤔

If & when your circumstances change, it gives the opportunity for another member to book a pitch on a particular site that becomes available.

Or would you wish that changed..... Now🤭😅

So you're completely in agreement with those who may have cancelled due to the weather forecast👍. I'm just clarifying because your earlier post created the opposite impression.

We’ve amended our plans. It’s one of the Club perks😁 Much as I like Warwick, we were going to cycle. Nothing much open, foul weather forecast......🤷‍♀️

Tinwheeler asked what my definition of a "touring pitch" was. Simply a pitch that cannot be booked in advance and is available to anybody who turns up on the day.  

At one time in France it was a requirement for all sites to maintain a number of such touring pitches although things have probably changed. Anyway, it's very different "over there" for lots of reasons but it has to be said that if you want to find a pitch in the Med. coast in season you have to book.

Nothing's lost on me, David🙂

Ah, I thought you were referring to touring pitches on club sites as your issue is with the club. We all know the club doesn't do that and I'm not sure any business is going to refuse bookings for some pitches on the off-chance that someone will wander in on spec looking for such a pitch. What happens in France is a whole different kettle of, dare I say it,  fish.

I don’t think of it as “speculative” booking. I decided this year was going to be very busy, lots of new folks to touring, lots of  “we’ed rather be over there” tourers, hence getting a pitch anywhere might not be as easy as it usually is. So I booked three Club Sites much earlier than we would normally do. So far, we have done one trip (and very nice it was), cancelled another because I got a better pitch at two thirds the price and needed to change my dates because we opted for a cottage holiday. Just cancelled a third Club Site booking as my stoicism doesn’t run to paying over £24 sat watching the rain coming down, with nowhere open to visit. (The lockdown conditions rather than the weather). Our final Club Site booking is still on, it’s a no facility Site that we know well, right where we need to be for an event. So doubt we will get a better price or more convenient location.

Everything else, from now on will be unbooked. Will we survive........ I think we will😁
