It is reported in another forum (Autosleepers) that all Club sites will soon have two pitch markers for each pitch - and you pitch between the two.
I havent seen it anywhere on Club info or this forum.
Anyone know any more? I know people like to get really exercised about "pitching to the peg"!

Silly me!🤪
However, a few folk clearly, it appears from reading previous posts, believe that some rules are based and applied on a whim, a misunderstanding or that ‘cos I say so attitude. Don’t think it’s rife these days mind.
The point I was trying to make was that whatever rules and instructions are provided these really do need to be underpinned by logic, reason and clarity….. and then communicated effectively.
What we do have to realise though is that incorrect pitching will never be completely eliminated. Understanding this and the reasons why may be more important.

Posted on 28/03/2022 20:58 by CornersteadyCan anyone refresh my memory but when did the club start to use pegs? They weren't always there and I'm thinking about 2015?
But then again time appears to blur when I'm trying to remember. OT but really true last week I had to cover an English class and they had to review the video Thriller after watching it. I mentioned to the teacher setting the work that it was about 20 years old but was gobsmacked to find it was approaching 40!
The class was equally amazed that Michael Jackson was black!

We had camping bliss at one or two CLs last year…….”pitch where you want”. Easy with five outfits mind.
No use complaining about Club Sites, they are what the Members have made them. “You asked……we did”🤣
We joined in 1984. There was a peg with a number on back then. Mind, if your first attempt at pitching wasn’t spot on (no motor movers back then) you either manhandled your smallish outfit into place, or simply moved the pitch peg.😁 We were inch perfect from the off, we toured in a tiny 3.5 metre camper van, always had some dragon overseeing our antics, as inspection and demonstration of “yes, it is a proper camper” was followed up by being minutely watched in everything we did. The joys of being very young Club Members……..and with a Rottweiler🤣 It taught us fortitude, patience, how to keep one’s temper under provocation, to smile nicely at the curtain twitching neighbours, and a wicked sense of humour😉😁

On non toilet block sites as found at Notgrove in the Cotswolds the users of such sites are mostly much more acceptable of what they have compared to the facilities sites,
Last week told to us ,how obnoxious some members are when toilet cleaning over runs because of user failures
I said to the staff member just tell them the time are a guide as we clean to a standard not a timetable
As we said they never know when the facilities are closing but they will queue when it is opening times
