Fair point, dunno.
I just received notice of a ZAR1500 payment from South Africa via my bank. £123 in theory, but £95 by the time it got to me - the rest vanished into some bankers bonus somewhere.

I don't use it myself, but I see that Google+ also allows you to do shared calenders now. Plus of course shared docs via Google Docs.
If you already have a Gmail/Google+ account (and who doesn't these days?) it's probably the easiest to configure if you're looking for something new.

We are using AeroPlus: Home 
It's a great product and it has a free iPhone app to make bookings and register flights. It's also a booking and finance system in one package. Also a good place to store documents (POH) and many other options like giving your engineer a log in to live view your technical problems if they occur and someone left a note in the system. You can try it 30 days for free.
Costs €0.65 (£ 0.54) per completed flight if you keep using it.
It is a huge step up coming from aircraftclubs.com for us.

Hi
Just to let you know that with immediate effect our new booking system for for aircraft/groups/instructors is available. You will need to login and create an account as the administrator of your group and then add all the other pilots and planes and instructors. Its a painless process and it will will send all your pilots an email along the way to tell them they have been activated.
Like many of the people who will use this system I was dissapointed when the booking system we used, GoBoKo announced a charging structure that wasnt cheap so I have invested the first couple of years of what I would have spent to write our own booking system which does all what the previous one did. In addition I am providing the service free of charge to the aviation community so nobody else has to pay. The address of the new system is Aircraft Bookings and you can find out more about the system at Welcome to the Free Aircraft Booking Sytem - FABS
If there are any problem with the system please let me know as it is hot off the press so we may have missed something.
It is pretty self explanatory to use.
1. register the group and main admin pilot
2. Add a plane or planes
3. Add pilots
Thats it. You are ready to go.
You can add bookings by clicking on the start time and then the end time in the calendar or you can also add them by selecting the times under the calender and you can select the end day if it later than the start day of the booking.
You can also book instructors by ticking a box while ticking a plane. We will hopefully add later today so you can book instructors without the need to book a plane for groundschool etc.
We will try to include any suggestions people make although as it is free there is no promises. Just ask nicely and we will see what we can do.
Please give me your feedback. [email protected]
Remember the only payment is that you put a link on your website if you have one back to our siste to help it get found by the search engines and so other pilots can track us down. Please link to Welcome to the Free Aircraft Booking Sytem - FABS (the website) not aircraftbookingsystem (the actual booking system)
Thanks

I'd like to recommend www.airchunk.com, with over 30 groups and 400 users using the system already and excellent feedback from them all.
It's secure, free and super easy to use.
Oh and there's a UK telephone number to call if you need help and emails answered asap!
Thank you to all the users who've provided excellent ideas on new features like a sunrise and sunset time. More great ideas in development as we speak.
If you'd like a booking system that suits you, try www.airchunk.com
Enjoy,
Abe

Our group is now using airchunk. We're sorry to be leaving oscarromeo / goboko, but we clearly don't fit into their target market. Airchunk seems to tick the boxes for what we need right now.
From what I've seen so far, it's okay - some rough edges - but it does seem to be improving much in the same way as oscarromeo way back in time. Let's hope they go far enough to get really good, but not so far that they sell out!
