Booking system | All shares move in rotation annually on a booking rota. Holidays are booked in order of position on the rota. Each year shares move up the rota in pairs and the top two shares fall to the bottom. Bookings for the following year normally start in the summer, and are confirmed at the annual AGM, normally each autumn. The booking system has recently been modified to take account of the relocation to Canal du Midi, and the longer season that is available in South of France. Each shareholder can choose one 3 week block in the high season, or one 2 week block in the high season and one 2 week block in the low season, or two 2 week blocks in the low season. (If the boat reverts to Burgundy area in the future, it is likely that the old booking system will be re-installed i.e. 2 consecutive weeks in high season and 1 in low season.) |
Priority for school holidays | Two shares are designated as "special" and have priority booking for school holidays. |
