Clachan Arrival Trial.

It’s only got 42 pitches, one of which is non EHU, same price all year. An utter doddle to cater for price wise, and I can’t see it having anything like the arrivals and departures mayhem some of the larger sites endure.

Perfect place to trial something like ANPR. Drive up, barrier opens, you choose a pitch. Payment taken remotely. Smile at staff as you drive past them doing other tasks. Brilliant👍

Ah firstly it was something made up like staff reduction realignment programme and now reality into reasoning into something that you've often advocated and pushed for, and given your stated previous involvement with such staff reduction realignment programmes you must have known this might have been part of it so why push so hard with your previous posts? Like I said I guess whatever the club does is wrong for some?  

Again puzzling that at one point you possibly (alone) point to loss of jobs meaning paying less salaries and now talk about changes have to paid for? I've talked about changes putting up prices not reducing them.

I am at a loss with your staff reduction realignment programme and now reality into reasoning and will leave it there with this line of replies and go back to the OP and welcome the changes that will make life better for those of us that use club sites. 

 It states From £17

You do have a point but on then other hand less harm will be done if it doesn't work. From small acorns and all that? 

And below it says:

A great value all inclusive fee of £17 in 2022 and £18 in 2023 for a standard pitch, 2 adults and all children

£17 per night all season for up to 2 adults and all children. Extra adults incur a supplement

I am sure it will work for most folks, dare I say like us. Happy to do things online prior to arrival, happy just to drive in and choose a free pitch, get set up, kettle on. It’s just like a big CL, but with fancy gates. Say hello to staff/owner when it’s convenient. It’s our preferred model. 😁

However, judging by all the huffing and puffing that is stated in some CL reviews about “no one there to greet us”, it might not suit all. 

If it keeps some of the small basic sites, such as Clachan, Nunnykirk, Bromyard, etc…. viable and on the network, utilising staff hours better, then it’s a very positive leap forwards as far as I am concerned. Far too many of these type of Sites have gone in the recent last few years.

I wonder how it will get around the issue of a toad when it enters/leaves the site bearing its own reg plate instead of the MH's reg? I guess it will mean making a separate record on the ANPR system.

Yes certainly if it keeps smaller sites that are perhaps non viable or run by volunteers (does that still happen?) then another good reason.

Staff reduction and realignment sounds extremely painful if it was me I'd get out quickly before I was reduced and realigned.... by the way, if you've been involved in these programmes how are you feeling?!...

TW, I know I'm a little thick (rhetorical) but what is a toad? At first it made me chuckle - the idea of a real toad?
