New Site Booking System

The cashless society is coming, the next move will be-requesting cheque books will have a ‘handling’ charge, paying large sums of cash over will be charged too. There are many more ways to penalise those who refuse to move with the times. Progress will not be stopped by anyone. Convenience is king(and cheaper) for the vast majority, democracy in action👍🏻

U til we are given the full details of what and how the new system will work?, we will just have to hope? that the questions around it are being addressed by those we hope are in the thick of it?
The staff who look in to CT and have access to the zoom meetings, will have noted and ask when they next have such a meeting?
As I was told by others some time back there are many weeks yet to be implemented before the system is hoped to go live

We’ve just had the bathroom stripped & a new one put in. I paid the deposit by Credit card(50%) & the rest by bank transfer. No cash🤷🏻♂️. Re cash-their is a whole black/gig/shadow economy cheating the Govt by not paying tax. Another reason to clamp down on it.

Not too concerned about inconveniencing tax dodgers but feel sorry for buskers and charity collectors, they must be missing out as numbers carrying cash diminish.

If downtime is anything to go by I think it could be sooner rather than later. (February March?) before all the sites open.

DK re pay by phone, Google "samsung pay vs google pay" I have at some time registered for both but have never used them generally finding it easier to use a card rather than unlock my phone every time I want to pay for something. Yes I know you can use easy methods than a pin number to unlock a phone but they do always work.

No, I think it just uses NFC.

I think payment methods like Apple Pay come into their own when faced with the need to register and enter card details in an App or website like car parking etc. The less information required the better.

NFC, either on the mobile or in a store that uses unit-

Walking out of Tesco the other day I offered £5 to the Air Ambulance but he said he couldn't take cash, wasn't allowed to, only DDMs. we already have one for them so no good. No card machine either. So the charity was turning down money.
We're like Ttda. Always carry a bit of cash when visiting CLs. Who am I to know which owner declares the cash and which one doesn't? Got better things to worry about.

I have no doubt that the club has received many communications about the availability of sites particularly at weekends.
However, the introduction of a deposit system is a major policy change and I think that members should be given the opportunity to vote on its adoption or otherwise.
Personally I would prefer a system that limits the number of future bookings that can be made whilst allowing additional bookings say two weeks prior to the booking date.

Just to give me the freedom of choice.

Or quite a few sites.

I posted the following on page 24 and it’s equally relevant to your comment about a vote Chelty.
"A vote - why? We have an elected council to represent the membership so there is no need to ask each and every one of us.
What you suggest is akin to our Councils or Govt holding referendums each time there is a proposal for change. The elected Councillors and MPs make decisions on our behalf."
Restricting bookings is likely to interfere with an attempt to book a tour and would incur as many moans as the current system.
Whatever, it’s now a decided issue with implementation under way.

No, just an NFC enabled phone will do the job👍🏻

You don’t need an internet connection, and you don’t need to unlock an Apple Phone. You put it by the reader, stick one of your totally uniquely coded digits (finger, thumb, toe) on the button, and bingo, transaction complete. 10 seconds max. And yes, you do get a record of how much, where and when on your phone. There’s usually a chorus of “oo that was good, how quick was that” depending on the demographic of the queue😂

Who cares? That’s why you pay before you arrive.
