Caravan sites opening and safety measures feedback

I think I had best employ that device known as a cleaning cloth to my glasses!

to save all this fafffing about at the toilet blocks, surely it would have been far better for the club to have kept the toilet blocks closed and insisted that people use their own facilities, would have saved a lot of hassle for the wardens, and reduced the risk of infection to both the wardens and the happy campers, no collecting rubber bands or not collecting rubber bands, no trying to reserve a slot, etc. but well done to the wardens, life cannot be easy.

But there is a trade off isn't there? doing as you suggest may affect how many people go. I certainly wouldn't and all those people who are using the facilities now may not have gone.

Less people means less income but costs are still there and it may have been that there would be a point when sites do not open, better this way I think on balance.

Maybe the club though that it would get more bums on seats with the facility block open?

I certainly wouldn't and all those people who are using the facilities now may not have gone.

and after all the hassle may not go again, making way for those who do not mind using their own facilities but could not get a pitch, and thus providing a much more risk free environment for all.

That would have been the sensible answer as far as I am concerned but then we always use our own facilities. However reading some of the chatter, particularly on Facebook Groups it would have had a major impact on the number of people visiting sites and like everything COVID related these days it is a compromise between absolute safety and the economy and getting back to normal. Until there is proof, if there ever is,  that the opening of toilet blocks has actually contributed to the spread of COVID the Club will feel vindicated in its decision to keep blocks open.

Over the years there has been many conversations on CT over the sole use of onboard facilities, by the very small minority of Club members who use CT I might add, and when reading them it always appears that those who do so, think that everyone else should, without a thought or care for others needs. From observations of camping on the continent, where most of our camping is done, I feel confident in saying that almost everyone uses the site facilities for everything, showers, toilets pot washing etc. and there are many more campers there than here by a long way. In fact many don't even have water onboard! I personally don't follow that regime but I am mindful of those that want or need to use the facilities, after all that is what they are there for and you are paying for. I haven't camped with children but I imagine to get a family of young children through all the bathroom processes could prove very difficult, especially given the space in most motorhomes whilst caravans do seem to have larger bathrooms where this may be more possible. Then what about the disabled members whose disability means that there would be no way they could physically use their onboard facilities, I have a friend who cannot in their motorhome. So before we get into another long disagreement on this sensitive topic lets all be a little mindful about others and their needs or desires may be very different from ours and keep to the topic on which I might add I would have expected everyone who uses any of the facilities to use antibacterial wipes on all the surfaces they touch before and after doing so. This would help the wardens and all the other campers as well as themselves to keep safer. I'm hoping the members leave the toilets in particular cleaner than what they often did in ours, and many others, experience pre pandemic 

I am sure that if the clubs site with facility blocks ,had remained closed ,(and it would not have been short term if the scientific information is correct) 

The full pitches that are showing on a very large proportion of the network would not be so ,even if a price reduction above the vat reduction was implemented ,as  posted by others they would not be using the sites yet ,even as now with reduced capacity in the facilities block and reduced pitches on some sites

From what I have read here, there has been very little reduction in the number of pitches in use on sites.

Apparently only those adjacent to service points have been taken out of use.
