Allocating pitches by site manager!

Ah well, it won’t be long before wardens are lining vans up nose to tail dead in line and inspecting regularly to make sure nobody's an inch out of place🙄. I remember the bad old days😖

It's nearly like that here now, as each pitch is marked, in white paint, at the four corners of the area one is "required" to pitch , never mind pitching to a post or even between two!

It used to be like a military parade ground. Seems the club is going backwards at a rate of knots 🙁

I was going to post "Quite unbelievable" but as it's Nellie I can quite believe it, but nevertheless........ I left school a long time ago and this is taking the proverbial.

Nellie, We have been using Bromyard Downs for a few years too, and have always been able to choose a pitch.  In October last year when we arrived we were allocated a pitch for the first time and after checking in, I was asked if we had a motor mover, when I said yes the site manger said we must use it and not reverse onto the pitch.

The male site manager was waiting by our allocated pitch on the top  part of the site, and although the easiest way to access pitch was to nose car onto the empty pitch opposite and reverse straight back, he insisted we unhitched and used the mover!  Trevor who can quite happily reverse the caravan onto a pitch was not amused. 😬😬The same white markers were sprayed onto the hardstanding too, we were checked to make sure we were pitched within them too.  Must be the same site managers?  😄

Could well be, H&T, although it was the relief wardens here when we arrived, and they said that they had been told to do it by the full time site managers. If those wardens are here next year there Could well be no units for them to site the way it is going, with at least 1 empty seasonal pitch and a total of 10 occupied pitches tonight. It could be part of the club's plan to eliminate all the non-facility sites, the way it is going.

Who the heck are these people at Bromyard Downs?

I can well understand a polite request to use the motor mover to avoid damaging wet grass anywhere on a site but a request it should be.

I've never heard of that happening Helen and I'm not surprised Trevor was not amused. I'm not sure I would have done it to be honest. Would he have refused to allow you to reverse on with the car if you didn't have a motor mover? Gives wardens a bad name and if this is the route they are taking then I can see a lot of very unhappy customers and some very angry exchanges happening. How to keep the customer happy eh?

I don't think I'll be staying there anytime in the future if the wardens remain the same.

Wherenext,  I have a feeling we'd have been asked to push the caravan on to the pitch if we hadn't got a mover 🤣

Nellie,  the site was very quiet last year too, but I put it down to it only being a week before they closed for the season. 🤔 

H&T, I bet the site manager wouldn't have given you a hand to do that either!!😁

Woohoo, not had a warden bashing thread for a good while, quite entertaining
