Posted on 28/04/2022 17:27 by GraydjamesI am not sure if it has always been there - but no one has mentioned it. If you go to the ad now you see this banner come up. So definitely not allowed on club sites.

Just because an advert is in Club Mag/website doesn’t mean the particular product can be used on Club Sites. It’s about money, advertising revenue, first and foremost. Bear this in mind, utilise some common sense and it soon becomes clear what might or might not be a good purchase if Club Sites are your main stays.
A simple home modified bit of pipe, of much longer length, and not flexible, taken into a hedge bottom is allowed on a lot of CLs. Best used just for shower/handwash water. Washing up greasy water with any large bits doesn’t go down our drains, keeps things a lot nicer and free flowing. Prevention being easier than cure……😁👍

Practically every CL I've ever been on have said "In the hedge". I have 7m of flexi-pipe which I can move about a bit to spread the discharge. I just have to pitch sufficiently close to a thirsty bit of foliage. Don't forget folks, we are talking a bit of soapy water here, not nuclear waste. Anyone remember government guidance from 1976?

Don’t disagree, but it’s about scale and concentrations. On a CL with a few vans it ain’t going to add up to much, but in larger, busier settings it could reach problem proportions. Unfortunately it isn’t just soapy water, there’s a fair bit of vegetable oil & animal fats disposed of via grey water.
In 1976 it was single households disposing of waste water, not inviting all the neighbours round to chuck it in your hedge as well!
