I notice that the above site is in the book for 2023/24; however, the site is closed during major upgrading work at the moment.

I imagine this information would be available if someone tried to book on line but could be disappointing for anyone deciding to arrive without booking.

I would doubt many are going to be disappointed. The book was publish around October 22 and put together well before that date, therefore I would think anyone arriving on spec would check online.
Having said that even in 22 the club must have known the site might be closed for refurbishment and a small note stating future opening dates were unconfirmed and to check online could have been included. Unfortunately communications isn’t something the club excel at.

Unlike a lot of sites due for refurbishment Steamer Quay seems to have been fully closed for a much longer period that most. It seems the provisional opening date is around the 1st October. It would be good to have an update on progress and whether early October is still on course for reopening. 

On the OP's point about turning up and being disappointed. Whilst most of us have done that in Europe I am not sure how common that is in the UK, particularly with CMC sites, especially without an initial phone call to the site to check availability?

Went past Bridport Bingham Grange a couple of days ago.  It looks as if it will be shut for at least another year if not two or more.  Whatever are they doing!

We were in Totnes last July and the site was just an overgrown field with nothing going on. I expect to visit Totnes this August so if I remember I’ll take a look and report back.

Just seen a post on a Facebook Group where someone posted a piece about South Hams Council agreeing to a 40 year lease extension to the Club for Steamer Quay. I thought Planning Permission was granted some time ago? Perhaps the Club were waiting for this confirmation before putting boots on the ground to get the work started?
