Should the Club put it's foot down?

So the verdict on banning awning heaters is…… 🙄

Oh is it bare bones? most club sites have more than one set of wardens, three sets is common.

But as we know from previous threads, when there are two couples on a site for much of the week there will only be one couple working. Even when both couples are then for some time during the day only one pair will be working. Similarly with three couple sites, very rarely will all three couples be working at the same time.

bow to your superior knowledge of the club, and obviously you use it much more than i, must be 3 years or more since i used a club site but it looked and felt pretty much the same as the ones i used when we first joined, HQ providing services, tick in the box, but i normally only use the overseas services, but i still maintain the operational model is still pretty much in tune with 1998 particularly when it comes down to the nitty gritty of managing sites.

I wouldn’t think many members actually use awning heaters on CMC sites in the first place.

As far as fitting pitches with a meter, using a sledgehammer to crack a nut springs to mind.

Maybe the club is happy making money from charging us all for an estimated amount of energy that only a few of us are using?

not from what I have observed, they are full time and the working pattern is one full day off and two half days (or was) so even with that into account and they are usually a 'couple' I doubt it is much of the week? 

Certainly I've seen all two or three sets working most of the week.

I agree with that and have often said that it probably makes a hidden profit from the blanket charge. At £4 per day that is 16p per hour and that is about 1.5 Kw (based on 12p per Kwhour.

I doubt that even in winter anyone uses that all the time over 24 hours. Our heating is perfectly good at the 0.9 Kw setting.

Not In my experience CS, they take days off in rotation I'm told. Also they get between 40 and 46 working hrs per week depending on the nature of the site and the day starts at 8:30am through to 8:00pm.

It's good to know I can rely on you to come up with some facts and figures Corners.
