The Club, some months ago, said that washing a caravan/motorhome on site was no longer allowed so perhaps it comes under the same rules. Must admit it seems a bit daft if you keep a van in storage where else do you clean it?

Strange as the storage area at Commons Wood is separated from the pitching areas.  What else are they going to use the bay for then?

Have spoken to winter staff at commons wood and they confirmed that the washing facility is unavailable because the drainage system is not up to standard? Undecided No acceptable alternative was offered apart from contact the cc at grimsteadFrown

Update from another source most Washdown facilities have been withdrawn, as they were against environment agency rules ,as any such facility has to have a filters fitted ?Frown

Grimstead looking at cost effective alternatives?Surprised

I wonder how the "hand carwash" facilities work ??Undecided
