We keep reading about how members would do things differently, so here is your chance to put these suggestions all together.

If I was a Warden I would . . .

Publish a list of wildlife on my site

can't remember exactly which site it was, (think it might have been Minehead), where there was a list posted outside the facilities block of what wildlife could be seen. I'm sure there must be other sites that do this

Try to do it the English managers at Camping Pors Peron in Brittany do. I suggest that the Club send all new wardens on a training course there. 

Write your comments here...So please tell us why?

I would have to write an essay - the gulf is so great.

it's a site with 100 pitches. Routine grass cutting and flower watering is done by a grounds maintenance man, and toilet block cleaning (three times a day) is done by a cleaner. So the whole focus of the site managers is customer facing customer service. They are based in a large, open plan office, reception area, shop, information centre and big screen TV area. Visitors are in and out all day long for something like ten hours a day, asking for advice, ordering bread and croissants, and asking questions. And the managers always say yes rather than no. They are not there to impose rules. 

I am glad Simon Knight liked it as much as we did. Others should pop over on the ferry from Plymouth and go with an open mind and have a look at a different way to run a site.

100 pitch site, can I ask how many managers run the site?
