Club AGM 2022

Many sites are not owned by this club but are leased and M/C service points were installed many years ago on site before the explosion in their ownership

Quite a few few leases are now quite short and to move or install the later type of drive over service points is quite an investment so if in a short lease that nay not be renewing is questionable when some sites site in very valuable building land 

 

 

I would suggest that many MHs you see on Club Sites tend to be used much as Caravans are, park up and then they might not roll a wheel for a week or so. Many belong to Club Members who have made the swop to an MH for whatever reason, but still like to pitch up and stay. Nothing wrong with it as well. But some of the drive over waste points are direly sited. YRP is a fiasco from 10am onwards with lots having to drive around the site to empty up near the back gate. Barnard Castle, we had to drive out the barrier and back in again to use the one there. 

 

Of course you saying they are poor and they actually being poor are not necessarily the same thing? 

The ones I used (as a passenger) recently in Italy looked the same as the ones on club sites to my untrained eye of course.

btw is it just club sites that have 'poor' design on MHSP or are there sites in UK where it's done better? Your oft recommended Concierge Camping site for example that the club should aim to be?

As with Silver Screens, I'll treat you as a non expert in this area👎

a good MHSP is a good one where ever in the world it is sited. 
I haven't 'recommended Consierge Camping for many a year...it's a fabulous site, with facilities blocks the club could only dream of, but since the prices went through the roof, we haven't been there.

I use a site in Oxfordshire regularly which has much space and the MHSP is, in effect, a separate pitch (close to the exit) where a MH can park up out of anyones way and empty their waste into an are as DD describes, with the drain in the low point making positioning far less critical.

Fair enough and I could say the same about your use of club sites now, but why not just answer the question?

Well you're in luck then as the newer ones I've noticed on club sites I've used are just like that, out of the way, sloping downwards to the grate and larger than any MH I've seen.

Of course if you used club sites recently you would have noticed so I can forgive the fact you don't know. I'll take some photos next time. 

I don't accept that the open grill grey waste disposal points on Club sites are poor.  In the majority of sites that I have used they are perfectly suited to my needs. I have found the odd one poorly positioned as I have had to pull in and reverse back in order to be over the grill rather than drive over. But even then it takes seconds out of my life! 

Going back to the purpose of this thread which was about the AGM and the answers received.  I still maintain that when the question was asked about provision of emptying facilities for non stayers the answer was at best flippant and at worst most unhelpful. When senior members of the Club answer questions at the AGM, which of course is official business, we should expect those question to be answered in a serious manner. I am not advocating that such provision be provided just saying that anyone asking about such provision should be treated respectfully with a proper answer.
