Should the wardens report members to H/O.

If what is read on here is accurate, there seems to be many members who flout the CC on-site rules. 

It is part of the warden's duties to enforce those rules.  Backed up by Grimstead Towers. 

What is needed is for those members to be reported, by the warden to H/O, whereupon there would be a record kept and after the third infringement, that said member would have their membership revoked. 

Time to get tough with those who don't think the rules apply to them. 

Cool

I couldn't agree more K, although I doubt it's "many" members. But in the case where some are undoubtedly abusing the rules (such as, apparently, the family at Rookesbury Park), yes they should be reported. Revoking membership might be a step too far, but certainly some sanction like cancelling forward bookings as is done for serial late cancellations might be effective.

BUT, I do think the wardens need (a) assurance that they'll get support from HQ and (b) the assistance of us, the other members who do follow the rules in reporting transgressions in the first place.

Wardens can't be everywhere at all times so if we see something which we feel is wrong and we're sufficiently exercised by it I think we have a responsibility to bring it to their attention in the first place. It's certainly likely to be more effective than simply posting it on here after all. Wink. Use left and right arrows to navigate.

I don't know about the third infringement. Is that a K-ism?

I would assume the reporting already happens.

I'm glad we generally use CLs. Seems that the CC sites are full of people more concerned with what everybody else is doing .....

Not sure of what number of infringements constitutes removal from a site or the Club as a whole, but it does happen. We know of one visitor asked to leave a site after unsocial behaviour on a Club Site was reported to a Warden, by a number of appalled visitors. Warden was sure of facts, may or may not have checked with HQ, but off they went. Good result all round. Whether they remained members was a matter for HQ, we never found out. One of best things about using CLs is that you know if there is a (rare) problem, it will be dealt with, quickly and satisfactorily.

Come on folks for once K has come up with a good plan. It must be a good plan because wardens already report serious rule breakers to HO. 

As far as encouraging curtain twitchers to report the infringement of imaginary rules goes I'm not so sure. Perhaps if everyone was issued with a 3 page checklist so they could keep tabs on the actions of their immediate neighbours it might work. Accurate recording of registration numbers and description of occupants would be essential which would leave little time for things like getting on and enjoying your holiday but sacrifices have to be made for the greater good

Recent threads include someone staying late without permission and someone emptying waste water onto a pitch TDA. Undecided

Avoidance of the challenge "he said" / "she said" - perhaps by photographic evidence - would need to be thought through?

Communicating / socialising that consequence management is in operation would also need some thouight...plus a consistent approach - rather than someones / warden descretion.

In reality, how many people would be keen to 'get involved' rather than just try and enjoy there hard earned break?

I'm unsure how it would appropriatley work for the good of all, in the real world.
