CL Closed for The Year

Ita the main reason we are not going anywhere until end of July,as it would in our opinion see if the situaion seems stable or deteriorating again 

In view of some of the comments above I've just contacted 2 CLs that we're visiting in September to make sure they will be open. Thankfully both are (I didn't want to have to start looking for alternatives).

The first one in Dorset has said that they won't be opening the toilet / shower / laundry facilities but that doesn't worry us at all. It's probably a wise decision. Prices are to remain the same even without the facilities  but, to be honest, it doesn't bother me as they must have lost a lot of income already this year and I'd like to think it might help keep them in business.

Its all to do with Health and safety as I see it, We open July 4th and all my visitors have been told that if they have concerns re the virus then it up to them to bring their own sanitation requirements , hand gel and wipes etc. to date all seem happy. Time will tell.

 

 

 

Firstly, no one is blaming the cl owner.

Your other comments are spot on and more or less mirror those of the cl owner.

Quote from his email. 

"We feel that we are unable to allow a situation that will put our guests, our neighbours and ourselves at a higher risk of infection.

We run our site on a very personal level, and this will not be possible under the requirements.

The implications and requirements should someone have to self-isolate on our site are very worrying."

It seems he as obviously acted on his feelings after the club's advice

His first sentence struck a chord with us, he had obviously considered his neighbours or the community. Has the club though of that in their risk assessment I wonder

Thanks anyway, Harry. I can understand why you choose not to say, and I doubt very much that we will be in that area again this year anyway. I can also understand why other CL owners are choosing to wait till they see what the effects will be following the opening up of other sites throughout the country.

Metheven, I don't see that anyone is blaming CL owners for waiting before opening up their sites, where did you get that idea from?

Harry and nelliethehooker, It was my typo that didn't include the 'I' at the beginning and then it capitalised the 'D'. Meant to read

"I don't blame the CL owner"

 

After I posted. I realised that is what it could have been. To be honest I'm sometimes guilty of that myself, shortening the full sentence at the beginning.

At least you've cleared it up

I did raise this issue in a past post but using a club site as a reference point, and my issues still hold good today.

If somebody should prove positive on a club site the implications of testing 100+ people and maybe either sending everybody home or making 100+ people self isolate for possibly 2 weeks or more are enormous. 

And what about the wardens, or somebody, now having to possibly deep clean all the site facilities.

Not planning to use a club site any time soon so have not read any of the info to see if these sorts of scenarios are covered, but if a CL with just 5 units is concerned then i think the club should be concerned, even on the smaller sites this could be a logistical nightmare

They wouldn’t need to test all the people on site though.  The Test and Trace info says that if someone has symptoms they should arrange a test and self isolate for 7 days.  Should the test prove positive the 7 days extends to 14 and they will give details of their ‘close’ contacts.

A close contact is anyone they have been ‘face to face’ with at a distance of less than one metre or who they have spent ‘more than 5 minutes with at less than 2 metres’.

As long as all comply with this they would not be ‘contacts’ and therefore not have to self isolate.
