I’m happy to have enlightened you, David.

Never want to be under a tree. Not just rain but bird droppings, sap from the tree, twigs and branches, conkers, nuts etc.etc.
If I can I'll find a pitch that is more or less level and with no one in the adjacent pitches but sod's law means that the Car Park effect happens. You know, when you park in an empty spot with nary a car in sight and when you come out you can't get in your own car due to 2 numpties parking either side of you and you have to perform a limbo dance to get in. I'm dreadful with keys being dropped, sometimes maybe even scratching the odd door.

"Surely few would simply take the first available pitch which is what this post implies."
It appears that PD, TW and I, like David Niven, are among the "First of the Few"

We always chose a pitch in the sun during afternoon/evening. We liked to go out in the day then return late afternoon so that I could sit out in the sun and read. Also reasonably near to the shower block as we chose to use the site facilities. Neighbours, well often the ones that looked possibly noisy - kids bikes, scooters etc, usually turned out to be lovely, so we weren’t too fussy, and as said, they usually changed anyway. We recently upgraded our static van and chose to have it placed in our old plot as we had lovely neighbours. Within a season 3 of them gave up and sold, for personal reasons, so they all changed as well. Fortunately the new neighbours seem very nice. So not much point choosing a pitch depending on the neighbours.

Always make sure our dogs are highly visible, stops people pitching up who later say "would not have taken this pitch if we had known you had dogs", sometimes ensures you have an empy pitch next to you if the site is not full, result
reading back thru this post, i wonder if anyone from the club puts together a wish list from the information given and feeds it back into the system?

Bit of info that i have been told and i do not think it was just hearsay ,from the souce it came from,
pitch allocation should be "interesting" as not only grass or hardstanding but awning or non awning ,as well as serviced
Deposits £25 or 25% of booking if less, to run in tandem with old booking system?
cancellations 21days min?
Starting in second quarter next year April?
Still odd funtions to be sorted

Don't spoil all the fun with your insider info jv. Speculation makes for good discussion
We're on a zoom meeting next week to show us how the new system is going, along with a lengthy q&a session afterwards. Quite looking forward to it as there's loads to learn for us. We all start back early next spring for all the training necessary.

JVB66 If that info comes to fruition they sound very similar to C & CC ways.
When you say pitch allocation did you get the impression that wardens will allocate a specific pitch number to members on arrival according to that member’s choice of grass HS with or without awning etc? That is - will drive round and choose your own unoccupied pitch be a thing of the past.
JK If there is a Q and A session pls could you ask if you can come back on CT and give us some of the info. Sort of like an unofficial/official leak. Just a thought. Enjoy your Zoom meeting.

It is like a hotel booking system as per the ccc they come as a package
iI will be interesting with rhe grass pitches in wet conditions ?,at least it seems you can still find the one you "like"out of those available when you arrive on site

We’ve been cancelled due to weather on a mixed grass / HS site, when we had only booked a few weeks before, on a last booked first out basis. Presumably with surface booking it would be those who had booked grass who were bumped, even if they had booked months before?

Hopefully! We’ve had a warning email re cancellation within the 72hours, even though the CC did the cancelling. Apparently because they didn’t tick a box. Presumably if they don’t tick refund the deposit, you won’t get it and have to chase.

when my O/H and I joined the club in the late 70s a deposit was required for each site booking I think it was £5 per booking but pitch fees +2 were about £7to8 per night and member seemed happy to pay .also I dont remember non members having to a supplement to use the sites

We had similar at Nunnykirk👍

We didn't join until 1990 and the £5 deposit was still in force then and for a few years after but they had stopped showing you to your pitch before I joined. I think deposits had stopped within a couple of years, so about 1992/1993.
