New Site Booking System

Very much so Rocky. Most of CLs we use are farm based, and there’s a lot of diversity going on. Farming families are excellent at getting ahead of trends, they have to be to survive.

How about a Club Site that has all sorts of watersports adjacent, steamboat rides, cycle paths, a birdwatchers paradise, a sculpture trail, and Go Ape for those who can? Glamping pods available here. Open all year as well. Plenty for both families and adventurous couples. Some Club Sites do have a lot more than is perceived at first glance. Coniston Park Coppice in case you haven’t recognised it. 😁

I’d go for it. Until the aviation industry is taken to task around polluting fuels, it’s cheaper to fly. Portugal always sounds nice.

€1400 for a month in the Algarve? Airbnb is offering better value than than that .

I haven't recognised it, but there are activities adjacent to many sites as seperate ventures. Is there now a new Go Ape closer than Grisdale?

No idea Nav. Go Ape isn’t my thing, but I do like Watersports. 400 metres from Site I believe. Easy carry for a canoe, windsurfer, paddle board, even easier for a bit of wild swimming. The fact that they are separately managed is a plus as far as I can see. I know what the running costs of a swimming pool are, so happy for the Club not to load pitch fees with a percentage of running costs if I don’t happen to be interested in the extras🤷♀️
If you want all inclusive then that’s fine as well, pool, tennis courts, pony trekking etc….. plenty of scope and different budgets cater for this as well, not least Butlins, Center Parcs, Warners etc…..

If only Club sites could match this list from a family owned campsite - which also has reception open all day from 8 am. to 8 pm.

I'm not sure what your point is ET, if only - if only what? you would then use club sites?
Sounds a good site if you want all that, so would be better of you could actually name it and prices to help others out?
But it appear to be a French site? So not totally sure why you've posted in the UK section and on a thread about the booking systems? I know it's morphed into pods but still nothing about pods in your post there?
Also I know you don't use club sites so to help you out as you don't appear to know but items 1, 2 and 6 through 10 can all happen on club sites too.
As for kitchen equipment most users of club sites have that already in their units, why do you think it's a good idea to them on club sites as well? (sinks are provided btw)

As people obviously want these attractions on site or very close by it is good that there are places that provide such things. They will serve to keep things easier to book on the simple sites with a (fairly) level pitch and a good view that I prefer.

I am not dismissive of Butlins. They offer all inclusive at one end of a scale, whilst somewhere like Center Parcs are mid range, with Warners a bit more. Hi de hi never crossed my mind. My sister did a work placement at a Butlins complex and has always said how professionally run the sites are and how they cared for their staff and customers. You are the one being dismissive with your outdated Hi De Hi comment possibly?

We stayed on something similar in Northumberland a few years ago. Only 15 pitches, with a rather idyllic camping area elsewhere. They didn’t do mussels and chips though…….. £15 per night as I recall. It had the advantage of being a Dark Skies accredited site as well. And no ferry fees.😁 Three bathrooms for use, plus you could hire a private loo unit for your exclusive use if required. It’s still there, we need to revisit.

Glad to be proved wrong then AD. Never stayed, but I did visit my sister when she was on work placement. Her course covered a wide range of holiday accommodation. She eventually ended up in Lochinver working in a big shooting and fishing hotel up there, then went over to Crete for a while. She got around all over World quite a bit. Mainly Europe.

Please give us your thoughts on the new booking system? Good, bad, any changes, any points that lots of others haven’t considered, how will it affect you, if at all? Good business move or not? Will it please the majority of Members or not?
🤷♀️Your turn now…..

Any chance we could continue discussing the subject of the thread? Takethedogalong post crossed mine, so perhaps the private conversation has already stopped, and I hadn't noticed while I was typing. Jolly good. I was enjoying the thread about the new booking system.

I think AD, myself and one or two others were merely chewing the periphery of the topic while others decided to contribute to be honest. But happy to remain silent until others come up with something bang on thread………….👍

TT, I have followed the thread, and contributed. And am interested in the thoughts and possible ways it might affect others. So, as I said, very happy to read whatever aspects you can contribute?
