Southport Club Site

Arrived just before 12:30 Sunday (It’s 12 opening as normal).

 Queue of about 20 vans on the road.  Warden with clipboard by the barrier ticking the list of arrivals, handing out site map and Covid info sheet and waving you through the barrier.

Find pitch, return to office to pay with vouchers, pick up toilet key and the 2 rubber bands for the toilet block which were Handed to us in an envelope.

We were on the older part of the site (don’t like the newer area) and the shower block has the hooks outside to limit numbers to 2 Per block. Husband used the shower block once but I didn’t as I had a Pacemaker fitted last Thursday and avoiding water 

We have a private site booked for next weekend then Thursaston the following weekend. So far so good (just wish we were able to do longer than 2 nights but caring duties prevent that)

We found the site organised well enough two in the shower block etc. my main concern was on pitching going out and returning a van with three adults and door on the right was pitched next to us still rear offside to peg  this reduces the separation distance considerably. The Club ought to look at this issue even temporarily suspend other good reasons for the usual ways to pitch.

I can’t see how the separation distance was reduced. We can all pitch either rear O/S to the peg or front N/S to the peg. The distance remains the same.

Separation would not be reduced. In hot weather we usually pitch facing North as no windows in the back to let in the heat of the southern sun. Come back to pitch at 3 or 4pm and car parked on nearside of van and our chairs etc in shade on the offside

Yep, that’s why I said "The distance remains the same" 👍🏻

And why, on a rare occasion, I agreed with you.

Gawd this site moves like a hot knife through very thick syrup!!
