If you could, what five changes would you make to the clubs rules, procedures, systems etc.
Mine would be
1) book 12 months ahead on a rolling basis
2) be able to book late checkout
3) pitch anyway on your pitch, nose in, sideways etc
4) never have all toilet blocks closed at same time for cleaning
5) more full service pitches
no moaning about rules are rules, you signed up etc, I just wondered if there were any common
threads.
Posted on 15/01/2018 14:17 by KjellNNThe only change I would like is the ability to book a hard standing.
We used one of the sites that were in that trial and had no problem with the booking, or identifying a hard standing as opposed to a grass pitch when we reached the site.
With regard to spacing, on awning pitches with the usual car/caravan/awning set up, there needs to be 3m between your awning and the next pitch's car, and on the other side 3m between your car and the next pitch's awning.
OK to be incinerated by your own car going on fire, but bad form to also incinerate your neighbours.
Back to back and diagonal corner to corner spacing of vans should be 3m too. This has led to quite a few previously awning pitches at Rowntree (and a few other sites) being changed to non awning if I remember correctly.
So,MM, that warden at Moreton was correct to be concerned. Presumably only shorter vans should have been using those pitches and the peg should have been set forward to show how far back a van can be pitched. I have seen this done on a few sites.
Warden should therefore have allocated you either a non back to back pitch, or a longer pitch, as he would know the size of the vans booked.

just to clear K, it is between outfits not awning/car, as the club has stated that, apart from one or two sites like Sandringham, you can pitch nose in or reverse your van which could mean 3m awning to awning or car to car.
Unless you think like a previous former poster who said that your awning should always be to the right of your van (as you look at it from the front) and hence put your awning up on the non door side if reversed in?
There was a diagram showing this is a club magazine, It did also show that there should be 3m forward and behind too

I have a lousy memory. Who was the former poster? Please!

Posted on 15/01/2018 18:10 by Cornersteadyso, is a common theme booking a HS?

Posted on 15/01/2018 20:47 by Cornersteadyyes, but it would open up sites, to me anyway, where the number of HS is less than half?
Actually I wonder how many sites run up to full capacity of their grass pitches all the time throughout the season?.
