Caravan sites opening and safety measures feedback

We are in Treamble valley Site the site is almost full pitches are all as usual everyone is keeping the 2 metre distance on site. There is a banding system in use 4 for the gents and 5 for the woman's toilets you put your band on the hook outside then go in if there are 4 bands already on the hooks you have to wait until someone comes out. Plenty of hand sanitizers there. As for going out it seems that social distances don't matter there are ignored. People walk towards and do not adhere to the 2 metre distance you have to keep your eyes open all the time. The Fort Inn in newquay with its big beer garden is waiter service you order you drinks by an app or pay by cash and your drinks are fetched to you on a tray which then you take the glasses of the tray. Overall I feel safe as long as you take notice of what you are doing. And plenty of hand washing.

Agree with this. We are going to Dockray Meadow today, a site booked a couple of months ago specifically because it has no facilities, as that was how I was feeling about using the Club's facilities on reopening, at the time. Last weekend we were at the River Beamish site and we fully intended to not use the facilities block, but the systems in place looked so good to us that we changed our minds and used them. It all felt perfectly safe and well organised.

The Club opens the blocks with enhanced cleaning and limited entry in place. Individuals then choose whether to use them or not. Straightforward really.

 

As there seems to be uncertainty over arrival times.  I thought I would go on live chat to see what there take was on it. However, no operator available. Typed arrival time into the interactive help and it returned as shown below.

If it has been changed to 1pm for all sites the CC is not doing itself or it wardens any favours by not announcing it clearly. If I didn't come on CT I would have no idea it had apparently changed.

JK, I asked a question about arrival times on another thread, a genuine question, as to if it was extra cleaning that required a later arrival time. For some reason, it has been Deleted User, but I just wanted you to know it was a genuine enquiry, nothing more. We have spoke previously about all the extra work Wardens have taken on, and you know I was sympathetic about the work load. I couldn’t respond to you on that thread, it’s now locked. But I wanted you to know I wasn’t being critical, it was a genuine enquiry. As you say, unchartered territory for everyone.

Morning

The last two weeks have been hard. I won't dwell on that but with the extra duties we now perform every morning makes it impossible to have reception ready for mid day. The last two days we've had arrivals queueing out on the road at nine am! Haven't yet worked out how to be in two places at once and to be honest I'm fed up with trying. Arrive at 12.00 if you like but you may be queueing on the main road.

We arrived just before one last Tuesday and were told by the warden it was now one o'clock for arrivals.  We said we didn't know and it was still twelve at the site we had just come from, at least when we arrived the week before.  I gather it had changed four days previously.  She later explained that it was because the wardens were having trouble getting the cleaning done by twelve, although there are no facilities on this site.

If it has been changed to 1pm for all sites the CC is not doing itself or it wardens any favours by not announcing it clearly. If I didn't come on CT I would have no idea it had apparently changed.

It certainly is not doing locals a favour in the area of many of the sites Steve. Imagine at sites such as Morton on Marsh or the Leek site if those who have booked have no warning prior to arrival. In addition warnings should have gone out to all affected at least a week before putting such a change in place.The club does not have a good track record in informing of such changes. 

Thanks ET, I had read it. I just wanted to respond to JK to let him know my post was a genuine enquiry and not a criticism. Locking the thread had denied me this ability. 

Arrival times are academic to me, we never arrive at opening time, whatever it may be. We won’t be using Club Sites at the moment either. But good wishes to all who do, and those working hard to keep places as safe as they can.

Reading many of the comments on this thread it appears to me that the main problem is that the club is changing the conditions on site, ie arrival times, visitor restrictions etc, which I’m sure no one will object to but the problem is that it’s just not making the information available to members in an obvious way. I have been trying to find the arrival time for example and have found it very difficult.
