    Whyever not? Most other holiday accommodations and caravan sites require a deposit when one makes a booking. I'm sure that it will eventually come to happen for CC sites too.

    It will just be going back to what used to happen years ago, I can clearly recall sending off cheques to Club. Think it was £5 per holiday at the time, it just got taken off your overall total, nothing worrying about it. Deposits won’t bother us either.

    The club stopped taking deposits as they found this worked better for members. If there is a deposit and they cannot make it for any reason many member s just took the hit and did not contact the club or site. With no deposit these people seem more willing to ring and cancel so allowing the resale of more pitches.

    I suppose what goes around comes around and deposits might come back but who knows.

    Where does the £74 come from. Last week in March this year is £26.50 for two per night, so 2 nights would be £53. In 2020 it is £27.80 for two per night, so 2 nights would be £55.60.🤔

     £36.50 for 2 over  most peak periods this year, and £39.40 for 04/01/2020 surprised   Will that be the new peak price for 2020!

    I took it that end of March was fully booked so clarinetman had to book a different slot, at a higher price.

    Under £40 for 2 adults for a night in York City Centre? Sensational! Where else could you get a deal like that? smile

    (I will decline though! wink)

    Possibly, I took it he was referring to end of March prices. If it's the peak he is quoting then it's hardly a surprise for a site the CC could fill several times over.

    a site the CC could fill several times over. . .

    . . . if the River Ouse doesn't fill it first!

    How many days lost in last 3 years? Not that many I suspect. Although a pain for members when it does happen its not quite that a regular occurrence some make it out to be. It's a cracking location and relatively cheap for a city centre break.

    I seem to think it’s flooded the last three years on the trot, so it is regular, just not overly prolonged!

    £37 per night is indeed cheap for York city centre. Provided of course you have parted with a good few thousand beforehand for the sleeping accommodation!😂 The tent area is very nice, quiet and private. There were two Australian back packers using it when we were there last year. A long gallop to the loos though.......🤣

    I don't think the site itself has flooded once in last three years although the access road has. My question was how many days has the site been shut in total during the last three years.

    I know it was shut 4th to 9th March this year, but that was Enviro Agency that shut it. If the access road is flooded, it has to shut. I think it was closed for quite a while a couple of years ago, not certain, but I think Club opened up Beechwood Grange early to offer an alternative. I am guessing site itself might have been flooded then, but not sure.

    I’d forgotten about this, photo showing height of floods marked on big concrete roundals inside YRP. I think most of Yorkshire flooded in 2016!🤔😀

    It looks as though Site has flooded almost every year at some time since 2011. I haven’t been back any earlier.

    Someone didn’t get out in time, sure that’s a van in the back corner. This was YRP in 2015

    Sure is Ttda. Oops. Hope it was't the Wardens.

    I don't know about sites being empty during the week and only full at weekends but we're just back from a Sunday-Friday stay at Wirral CMC site. Full most of the time and it's only March. There were plenty of midweekers like ourselves leaving over the last 2 days to make room for the weekenders. Maybe the Op just does't organise himself like others do.

    As a solution to the problem of weekenders blocking others from week long stays, and week long stays blocking weekenders I propose a solution.

    From a date to be decided (no - not THAT again) every member will be issued with some non-transferable vouchers that will entitle a booking to be made over a weekend.  I think four Saturday vouchers and four Sunday vouchers would be enough. Pairs of additional vouchers to cover a weekend can be "earned" by booking (and actually staying - I was reading that other thread as well) for five weekdays.

    No voucher - no booking.  So EVERYBODY gets the chance of four weekends at least. And we do not need paper vouchers - keep the tally on the Club's computer system. It would rapidly become another benefit of membership.

    It’s the corner pitch we had at YRP, furthest from reception block. We are just looking at a short tour, hoping no flooding, probably use at least a couple of Club Sites as prices not too bad. Hawes is a bit steep, but we want to get some rope while there, so probably worth paying. Noticed lots of weekends booked, we shall just have to time it right.😁
