Just back from one of our local sites for a 3 day test to see that everything works as it should, ready for a 14 nighter to a lovely Cl North Norfolk in June.

We are both totally outraged by many of our fellow members that disregarded daily the site regulations regarding the covid 19 safety protections laid down at the Carsington site by the excellent wardens that go to great lengths to ensure the site is safe for every single one of its membership .

It wasn't just the one but the many. 

We  were on a pitch opposite the facilities block & the number of people entering & using the toilet areas with total disregard for wearing a mask inside, never mind stopping to use the hand gel sanitisation & wrist band control to show that a maximum of 6 people inside at anyone time.

Thank goodness we use our own caravan  end washroom, if this is how so called responsible people act when asked to perform simple instructions even a child of 5 could follow, the entire network should be shut down with immediate effect, because if it's happening on one site there will be others too.

We've made the decision to use our own facilities at present, and so we haven't noticed the possible problems in the toilet blocks.  As far as I am concerned, everyone seemed very sensible 'outside' when we went to Grafham Water CAMC site the other week.  When we went to Conkers C&CC site over the MayDay BH, the toilet blocks were closed anyway, but there was at least one 'awning gathering' which appeared to me to be controvening advice.

I think that there is a wee bit of over egging of puddings going on in this thread.We have stayed at three CMC sites and one CCC site in the last ten days.I cannot say that I have seen members acting in the ways described.That is not to say that some have not done so.We have chosen not to use the facilities blocks ourselves but members on all three CMC sites did observe social distancing, as did the members on the CCC site, when out and about on the sites.

Two sites were in England and two were in Wales.When we were out and about in the local towns we observed a marked difference in the way that the public behaved between England and Wales.Mask wearing and social distancing on the  streets is much more prevalent in Wales than in England.

The site where our static van is also takes tourers, lots of them, it hasn't opened its facility blocks yet and the site has been full of touring vans since it was able to open. Why the CAMC felt the need to open its toilet blocks yet is beyond me. I think it says a lot about the Clubs attitude 're safety and its profits though.

We are at present on a very nice CL and the owner couldn't be more diligent in laying on hand sanitisers at every point where members will use a common area including the gate to exit or enter the site.

The owner saw Mrs WN opening the gate and use the sanitiser before touching it and after closing it and told her it was the first time he had seen anyone using them since he re-opened. It's an adult only site that is full and all members are in the retired category.

Is it because they feel safe now that they've probably had their second jabs? I don't know but I do know we are the youngest on site.

So demographics at this end point to only Retirees and the aged being negligent in the use of hand sanitisers at least.

I agree with Mikey, income before safety. Was it really necessary to open the facility blocks, would it have really made that much difference to occupancy? The C&CC didn't and haven't yet opened their facilities, saving their site managers work and hassle and they don't seemed to have suffered that much as a result. Folk were still using their sites along with toilet tents if that was necessary.

Well it certainly made a difference at Culloden which is currently non facility due to problems with the block. Much reduced occupancy compared to other sites we have used with facilities open.

If the club had not opened it's toilets then no doubt there would be a host of threads also complaining about that.

As always one is not forced to come to any place where one thinks there is a danger from anything. We are all grown up and as such we can individually make up our own minds as to coming to a club site in these times. Also one has the choice of using the toilet block or not.

It is nothing to do with income before safety it is giving each of us the right to choose.

Personally I'd like to think that club members have more social responsibility than others but sadly this isn't the case and you get people who think the rules do not apply to them in all areas of life.

However as always if there is anything that you have concerns about on a club sitego and talk to the wardens, sorry site managers.
