Resting on one's Laurels

It's usual to take up complaints in person with the club, it's unfair on staff to use the forum and only produce one side of the story.

Rules on CL's regarding waste water disposal are up to the CL owner unlike club sites where the rules clearly state that waste water should be collected in a container.

This is what you seem to be missing WTG

We also reported another club member running their grey waste into the Park, which then took 3 days before anything was said and done about it, this being an NT site with Deer etc present you'd have thought there would have been a little more urgency in acting upon this.

Also we stayed at Bridlington Club site and were told we don't reserve pitches, as your van will fit on ALL of them. well it did fit on the one we chose but only just, then the Wardens coned off 2 other big pitches ...... and so 2 twin axle vans duly arrived and took up their reserved spaces !!!!!!! WTF???? 

I feel the club is resting on it's Laurels and really needs to take a look at itself in order to keep going forward, or is it being run the same way as our Motor Industry and succumb to lack of improvement

Every so often, thankfully rarely, the touring definition of “pedant” takes a holiday. The touring neighbour from hell. Always on the case, a staffing nightmare......🧐

Chill pill required!😁

I know what you mean.... "Please, Miss, he's leaking water again". 🤣

That’s incontinence🤷🏻‍♂️🙄, move on🙂

I just knew someone would mention "over there" . . . . . . .

As owners of an 8m twin axle, we have only rarely had a problem fitting on a pitch, but have had a pitch allocated or reserved for us on a few occasions when pitches were of varying sizes.  On such sites, it will normally state that allocation may be necessary in busy periods.

There is a site down in the SW where this happens, also I believe Rowntree in York, and we were allocated one at The Firs in  Belper as we had booked a serviced pitch, some of which were shorter than normal.

Only once in 13 years have we had cause to wonder if wardens always look at the van length when suggesting a pitch, that was on arrival on a Friday at   Cirencester where we were had to use one of the narrow awning pitches where you have to park the towcar across the front of the van.  

The pitch was only marginally longer than the van and sloped up to the back, so going well back was impossible.  Instead we selected the pitch opposite where there was plenty of room for the van to hang over the grass.  We ended up with the wheels right to the back of the hardstanding.

Pitches are also often set aside for disabled caravanners who need to be close to the facilities.  In this case the caravanner can take the one reserved or select one they prefer, but if selecting a different pitch should inform the warden so the reserved pitch can be made available to others.

Coniston is not a site we would use again as I did not like the road to it, also found it dingy in places, and the hardstanding we were given was rather small and decidedly lacking in any "hard stuff"!

As said by Vulcan, grey water should be collected and disposed of properly unless otherwise directed, deliberately allowing it to discharge or "leak" onto the pitch is  inconsiderate.  In the case mentioned, I assume a pipe was being used to discharge water well off the pitch, but even then I would think that that would not be an approved method when disposal facilities are provided.
