Customer Focus

I have used quite a few club sites this year and have received some warm welcomes, however the norm seems to be that there is very little custom focus. That is wardens, not all of them, don’t seem to see members as customers. This week was the final straw as far as attitude is concerned. We arrived at the site half an hour before check in time, as we thought it would take us longer to get there but wanted to be on site a.s.a.p and off into town so no problem sitting in the van for half an hour. Well the warden was straight out saying “your too early you need to go park up along the road in the pay and display until 12” we told him we were happy sitting in the van but he was not allowing this, even though we were not blocking entry for others. Anyway we did as we were told, along with another van five minutes later who joined us in the car park. We returned for 12 to find that we were at the back of a que of about six and again instructions from the warden, this time to remain in the van until he told us we can go to the office.

I really think the club wardens need to think about who is paying their salaries and the club needs to think about bringing its customer focus trading up to date.

"Our aim is to take no longer than 20 working days to reply to even the most complex of complaints. Some issues may require further investigation by our Regional Officers or our Regional Managers who spend a great deal of time away from their office visiting sites ensuring that Club standards are being adhered to."

I guess that includes site arrival times too!

Wow-- complaints against the warden staff because they are upholding their employer's company rules. ---- Good for that warden. smile

It's been said many times - If anybody thinks that complying with the CMC rules that they have signed up to is not for them,  the solution is simple -- Go elsewhere !!! 

cool

Yes. Fair point, but then don't use club sites, it's not like the arrival times are hidden from everyone. If your personal touring habits don't fit in with the club's rules, (and after all it's your money to spend to suit your lifestyle) then don't book a club site?

However if you do book why do you (or one) think that the set arrival time does not apply to you?

Planning journeys down to the  minute, studying the internet to find lay byes and fall back lay byes (in case of Polish vanswink) and for what? to comply exactly with the "rools" .Doesn't sound like  my idea of the "freedom to tour" or have "inspirational adventures"

Despite a cheap veiled attempt at normalising this derogatory generalisation it is racist and defeats any attempt at making a valid point. Why not just say other vehicles? I'd bet the vast majority of vehicles in the provided lay byes are legally entitled to be there!
