Should the Club put it's foot down?

It's good that over the last few years the Club has been moving towards being more aware of the needs of our planet and the care of it's environment. Certainly sites like Poolsbrook with eco aware facilities are to be aplauded. The Club rightly should encourage, even expect, it's members to play their part in cutting energy consumption, and think beyond "just me".

Is it then time for the Club to introduce a TOTAL ban on awning heaters on thie sites? No doubt some members will see this as an infringement of their rights. That right being, in this case, to completely ignore the consequences of using energy in what is basically an outdoor space.

And the rest of us can just shut up, stop whinge-ing on, and pay for their electricity wastage in our site fees.

At least some CL owners are aware of this, and have moved to banning awning heaters on their sites.

In my opinion no. And I don't even use an awning and have not for nearly 8 seasons. I could give reasons why I say this but I am about to go out and so, if required, they must wait!

Dont have an awning to heat, so personally wouldnt mind.

But is this the first step down very slippery and cold slope.?

How about leave your CC details on arrival and be billed later?

then there is a system by which the reading 'gets' to the office, I assume the owners do not go round and read it manually or maybe they do, either way it costs money.

The best way would be some electronic transfer so again adding to the cost of such a meter and the system to receive the data in the office.

But yes as we discussing club sites in the UK it would certainly be a problem when leaving, at the moment you simply go (OK hand in or post your fob) and that is it, a much better system IHMO.

If the system as you say happens over there (and again it doesn't happen in all sites remember) is introduced here at tremendous cost then could be a lot of people all in the office wanting to leave. As you say very complicated.

But i thought you were not in favour of meters?

of course, third world countries like Spain, France and Germany seem able to painlessly collect metered data from pitches, prep up a bill, allow payment the night before leaving and still sell them a lot more cheaply than the club.

as AD/DD both say, metering of electric certainly focusses the mind and, if the OP is really asking for the club to reduce its overall electric usage then this is certainly one way to acheive it.

however, as nothing that happens over the water counts as 'the real world' please ignore my post
