    Put them altogether and it is probably not an insignificant number. Add to that those not playing the game and waiting for holidays to be confirmed only to find out they cannot get full weeks and it is highly likely there is more.

    For sure you have not read the last complaint about the booking system

    I would not be surprised if a new member was unaware of the difficulty of booking either site, nor would I be concerned.

    They will learn for next time.

    not everyone can be so organised

    well, sadly and perhaps harshly, these people are going to have a difficult life in whatever they do, booking a club site, going shopping, booking anything, buying a new car.... No system can cater for those that just go through life just expecting things to work out. As Moulesy put it very well indeed above 

    I've joined or been in new and unknown situations and it was up to me to learn all I could.

    Certainly do.😀

    When we bought our van in February 12 years ago we joined the CC and used Clumber for our first outing. Then tried to book Easter. Everything within reasonable long weekend towing was gone.☹️ Fortunately they opened a new section of Malvern early, so we were able to go there at the last minute. We also tried to book the other bank holidays and although we got something, really struggled, often towing further than we wanted. 

    So as ET says it did not take us long to cotton on. The next year we were on the ball. Although as we were often not assured of the time off, we generally booked the less popular sites like Buxton, rather than Chatsworth and Castleton, which required frenzy day booking.

    Personally it never occurred to me that we were being disadvantaged, as some on this thread seem to be implying. We were working, that was just a fact of life, and we worked round it.

    The complimentary wifi is 120 minutes per Gold Card these days cool The first time I've actually used it, as I normally turn off the phone / internet when on holiday.

    Fortunately, I had planned to attempt to get the bookings if it was possible.

    The following day the technology didn't even allow e-mail access.

    The CAMC Frenzy Day is something I've learned to work with if particular sites and times are something we want, despite no guarantee of actually getting them. Have been fortunate so far to get what we wanted.

    It undoubtedly drives behaviours, as do most roolz imposed on people. The Cunard roolz drive some very selfish behaviours where common courtesy and manners go over the side.
