Many CLs, in fact, roughly half of all CLs on the network, are based on operational farms. At this time of year, arable farmers will be cultivating their fields after harvest in preparation for drilling (sowing seed), or livestock farmers will be concerned about whether our dry summer has provided enough forage for their sheep or cattle to overwinter. However, many farmers will attend their local Ploughing Match, a social calendar highlight where ploughing is judged (extremely seriously) alongside many other aspects of farm produce ranging from eggs to cereal samples, etc., at the end of September and beginning of October. There may also be the occasional pint of beer or glass of wine, as well as a good lunch.

To summarise, farmers and many other CL owners are busy people, which is why we designed CL Booking to fit into their hectic schedules.

When you make an enquiry / booking; if the CL site has online booking it’ll take you directly to their system. You can then make a direct booking.  Alternatively, you’ll make an Enquiry by completing your profile (your details will be stored for future enquiries) which will be sent to the owner by email who should respond within 1-24 hours.  You’ll immediately receive a confirmation email (with the site contact details) and the site owner can then choose to accept your enquiry and proceed to book you in, or may need to reject your booking, in which case they will say why.  

We will continue to enhance CL Booking and make it easier to use, but always welcome your feedback.  

Please send any comments to info@clbooking.co.uk, and when we are off our tractors and back in the office we'll drop you a reply, normally within 24 hours.
