Yes.

...As has been stated before the WTD only seems to apply to the uk

The team at Pors Peron work on the principle that they are open from April to late September, so its most certainly not all year round and spring and september are very quiet, so thay are fine with it, to the point where they will join "regulars" for a drink in their van of an evening

Well, I was the one who threw in that overseas example of a different way of running a campsite. It didn't strike me that a 70 hour week shared between two people was exploitative - it's 35 hours each, isn't it? .

But even in the UK those of you who venture outside the Club site network must see examples of alternatives and other ways of site management without "wardens". I would be interested to hear them. 

one of our favourite French sites has a husband/wife team who 'manage' the site between them, splitting the load...they also have a daughter who does reception for a few hours each day.

there must be many business owners in the uk and mainland europe who 'work' far more than the 'rules' permit....

i realise that wardens arent owners and are employed and must act within WTD regs but i just wonder why the CC keep staff levels at the barest minimum, meaning that tasks have to be carried out in a sequential manner....and IMHO to the detriment of customer service.

this doesnt mean that i think wardens dont work hard or look after their customers...i dont think that at all, merely that, with the minimum staff levels at CC sites, its the customers that have to work around the staff rota not the other way round...

The club has a number of sites manned by volunteers. A perfect opportunity for some of the posters on here to show how to be the perfect Warden. 

There are more than enough who moan about prices  and as staffing  is one of, if not the most costs of organisations ,what sort of prices can be expected,  if levels of staffing some think is needed , The rise in zero hours contracts that have distorted the employment figures whereby staff are called in  as req is keeping companies staffing costs artificially low  is that what some want the clubs to do? Both clubs and the ccc staffing is even lower
