I have just read a review on a cc site in the West Midlands where the wardens have put up a" name& shame"board,as they are having trouble with speeding .I know this as I have recently returned from said site.The poster of the review has put that they think it's,and I quote "a bit pathetic" .That to me is an insult to the wardens,as they are at least attempting a positive reaction to an ongoing problem .Any views on this? .Rant over .

It doesn't need to stand up in court true. . . .Just the CT kangaroo court. Part of the-'string em up because I don't like it' school of thought. It seems the older folk get the more they know of just how bad everyone is except themselves. 

...Thats about every thread that is started on here then

What's the mania with standing up in court. The agreement we all have is to conform to the rules. The nominated referee is the warden. The only thing that has to stand up in court is did you p off the warden if so the rules are that he can require you to leave. We may not be happy or comfortable with that but if we are not we shouldn't enter into the agreement. we should also respect that many are happy with the arrangement it's all horses for courses.

I thought this thread was about wardens trying to make sure we all stick to the speed limit. While some may disagree with the methods that are employed. Surely we can all agree that keeping speed down whilst on site is desirable, and that the wardens are the ones who should be making sure we do.

I suppose with all the dead and injured, damaged vehicles and equipment, and near misses that all these horrendous speed transgressions are causing we should encourage CC Ltd to do more to ensure our safety.  How about all campers having to show their competence to be allows on site by passing tests and examinations covering all aspect of camping, the expert and safe use of the related equipment and facilities, and knowledge of the rules.  

They tried that - COTYHappy

Aw hell TW I had forgotten that.  What a sterling demonstration of skills were shown, especially by the chairman.  I wonder if his caravan was repaired well? Happy

How could you forget, DD? It's ingrained in my memory for ever more.

I expect he got a new caravan one way or another.Smile

Oh well just my thoughts..Frown (I'm not keen on the idea of shaming people on holiday rather than approaching them quietly as BB suggested.)

..If one is spoken to "quietly", one may heed ,if one number is published it could deter numerous,and as we do not know the circumstances,we can but speculate ,

 

Ps does any one know if it was not a  "fake " number Wink

Seems some will criticise any attempt to do something about anti social speeding on site. Might as well just shrug our shoulders and let 'em carry on regardless, I suppose! Sad

..And some then moan that wardens "look the other way" when "some transgresionof the rules" is being commitedFrown

if the wardens had a little more time 'to warden', (you know, out there with customers) then they would be able to pick up on those who drive without the appropriate level of care for others...

not always easy from a tractor, toilet cubicle or office.....
