We use to use the one on the flyer website. It worked quite well and was easy to access.

There are six members in our group, and we use a Yahoo group calendar. Pretty simple, but works very well for us.

I'm in two 8-person syndicates who bth use Yahoo (also for syndicate Emails, uploaded aircraft documents, etc.); it works very well and costs us nothing.

Not free (about£49 p.a. I think, but has lots of add-ons, text alerts etc)

Also rapid personal service from owner if any probs.-we've used it since it started IIRC about 9-10 years with rarely any probs.

But if you really don't want to spend anything there are loads of freebees about.

I installed "Webcalendar" (free) and our group uses this. It works pretty well, emails bookings etc. Google Calendar would work well too...

I agree with the last post. I looked at most of them and goboko was the best by miles. I switched from my own application which was pretty good to goboko because it was great!

Online booking system

I know a good one, but it is not free, but cheap, and more importantly good quality. Have a look at Redirection Page

Thumbs up Online booking system

I have used Hosted by Coastline Computer Consultancy too as the training organisation I did some of my training at uses it. Works well.

Hi all,

Now Goboko is being replaced, anyone got updated ideas on a cheap and cheerful replacement?

(Hate the 15 quid a month if you are British, 15 Dollars a month if you are US on the Goboko replacement site. Come on chaps, it costs the same to have an electronic customer in either country!)

Rip-off Britain!

Terrible isn't it, people wanting to be paid for a service instead of giving it away for free. What a rip off, as you say.

(Doubtless they were being paid of course, by advertising, but a lot of advertising based businesses are struggling badly at the moment - a flying magazine I was writing for has just folded because of inadequate advertising revenue.)

I'd still recommend Yahoo - works very well for a syndicate I'm a member of. Just use the calendar, and set it to send out reminders automatically by email.

Genghis, I think XA was commenting on the charge being the same in US Dollars, as in GB Pounds - why the US$ 8 premium?
