C&MC staff towing caravans to pitches from storage

I am a member of our club and have a Land Rover with a tow ball. I have no objection to helping a fellow member move a caravan on site.

There may well be other rmembers who would also assist if asked.

The c&cc tow caravans that are in store onto a pitch . My sister doesn’t drive so needs to have her van towed on and off . 

They do charge for this service though . 

Currently £6.70 as previously stated earlier in this thread and here:

Thats tow in tow out

Benchmark set.

Wheel/hitch locks, alarms etc require relevant keys/fobs to be accessible, that may cause consternation and considerable debate  although the friendly club and others manage that easily. 

Not so many years ago it was "accepted practice" on sites with seasonal storage that a set of keys for what ever  leisure vehicle was stored to be lodged with the site staff and kept in secure key safe, and I know of at least 4 sites on the network that the site staff sited and returned members outfits to storage when time allowed, for "free" and with full knowledge of the area managers ,even though "complaints " we're recieved from other members that the storage people's van were put on the "best" pitches before the weekenders arrived

Then H and S intervened  and it was stopped  also the front hooks were taken off the the tractors for the same reason

Another reason a "rethink" by the club is in the pipeline could also be that since the "goodwill gesture" by wardens of towing vans to and from storage was banned by "them who think they know best" at HO, the add income from storage has plummeted on some sites 

A much more inclusive and helpful approach. 

Whilst offering new types of accommodation the CAMC could also consider offering better services to it's van owning members.

Back in our previous caravaning days  for about the last 2 years we stored our 14ft Lunar at a site in Wallingford (Bridge Villa's) we could call on a Thursday and  say were were coming up for the weekend, when we arrived the van would be on a pitch for us and after we went they would put in the storage yard again.  I really do think the club is missing a trick here, as they used to say at work, "Sweating the Asset" I do hope something transpires from what Rowena has posted 

With the disappearance of those noisy old diesel tractors many moaned about and the advent of quieter, eco friendly golf buggy things being used on sites maybe it's more to do with not having the right equipment to do it!
