Web booking
What web booking system do groups use?
Ideally it would allow booking, flight recording, discussion area and document storage.
Many thanks for any pointers

Don't use one. 2 of my members aren't tech savvy so no point.
They all have copies of the documentation they need and we are encouraged to talk to each other. Email and web get in the way.....

We use www.goboko.com for bookings.
Paperwork is all copied and in personal folders.
There are many things that might do an all-in-one: google is pretty good with Google Drive, which we use for the airfield and flying school accounts and you can add a calender to it.

We use www.aircraftbookin.co.uk which costs £50 a year. It sends everyone an e mail when anyone books the aircraft. We find this quite useful especially if we sometimes want to share flights.
I quite like the look of Aircraft Bookings but couldn't see that it notified other members whenever a slot is booked.

I would expect any private pilot to have sufficient IT skills to access web-based Notams/weather briefings prior to flight.
With this level of competency then the web-based booking systems are very easy to use.

www.aircraftbooking.co.uk - Aircraft Booking System
Ok it costs each member in our group 14p a week but it has stacks of other little things like reminding pilots when their medicals/ratings/ etc are due (and sends all this to me as administrator).
Allows members to update their details, message each other and send group messages.
Also allows a 'first dibs' on a booked slot if it becomes free but most of all instant problem solving by email from the owner.
Worth £50pa of anyone's money.
'Free' is not always best.

Thanks again
The problem I seem to be having is that nothing has a formal system to record usage.
e.g. booked G-ABCD 10:00 - 1200, no problem there,
but recording the Hobbs / Tacho and maybe take-off - landing or brakes off - on time are not addressed.
I'm looking at aircraftbooking.co.uk and trying to work out a way, perhaps using the message board system, to notify usage.
Anyway, Airchunck is next on the list to look at and someone has suggested "GoShared.com".
I see a lot of keyboard pounding in my future.
Many thanks for the advice and all pointers greatly appreciated.
