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 just tend to think that a percentage of club members are wound a little bit too tightly 

..I agree but that does not mean they should upset the majority of others, when the spring suddenly snaps and they are obliviose to others

There are few sanctions available to the "Club" at all, and no difference from a commercial site operator since anyone at all can use the sites.

Some basic care about what sort of vehicle/caravan combination they let on in the first place, and requiring immediate departure in the event of an infringement are about it. Possibly the laws of trespass cover peole not leaving when required, and of course the old Scottish catch-all of "Behaviour likely to cause a Breach of the Peace".

The best defence against bad behaviour that the Club could have is to develop a reputation of robust response to anti-social activities and the "rules" (whatever they are) need to be clearly stated and then consistenly enforced to achieve that.

Too many rules are as bad as too few. Common courtesy, decency, sense of fairness, sense of proportion, much better concepts for getting through life happily and nicely.

Once rules start to perpetuate, sure sign of falling standards, micro management required.  Only effective as well if constantly and thoroughly followed up. Ergo, that's when you get your curtain twitchers and snitches!

it would seem that the rules on CT are enforced more than on a club site.................

And penalties for breaking them can be stiffer.

Thank you for your contributions to the thread folks. 

It seems there are a few ( Not Many ) who have difficulty with the concept of the Warden carrying out their paid duty to monitor, control and manage their site for the benefit of us the holiday makers. 

It is not our responsibility to do any of those things, we are too busy enjoying our holiday. 

 A vigilant and dedicated warden team, backed up by robust action from H/O is what will stop any contraventions of the CC on-site rules and ensure that a  holiday on their site is enjoyed by those who expect good site management to be an important part of their stay. 

Smile
