Booking System |
A booking chart for the
following calendar year is circulated in agreed priority
order during the autumn and before the owners’ annual
meeting in November, where the bookings for the next year
are confirmed.
Each owner has a priority for that year, and moves up a
couple of places each year: after a year at the top of the
list, the owner then starts at the bottom, and after six
years the cycle begins again.
Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a
fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (April to October
inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year. By
this route, thirty-six weeks are firmly booked before the
year begins.
Allowing for time for winter maintenance, the remaining
fourteen weeks are booked with priority in reverse order to
the original chart. These extra bookings are confirmed on
the first day of the month before the month of the booking.
