Early arrivals - action at last?

I’ve said several times when we’ve discussed the issue of early arrivals that, in my opinion, the only effective way to deal with recalcitrant 'offenders' is to apply membership sanctions.

I’ve been reading elsewhere of a CAMC member who, it’s reported, has had his club membership suspended by the Site Manager due to arriving early at Hillhead and refusing to leave despite being requested to do so by that Site Manager.

In this case it seems to have been the member's own lack of planning and forethought which resulted in his early arrival so it’s not a case of there being any extenuating circumstances.

Obviously only one side of the story is given and we need to keep open minds but, if this is factual, it would appear that the club is using its teeth in an effort to enforce the no arrivals before 1300 rule. Perhaps this is what is needed to get the message across.

So common sense would tell me to plan for the shortest journey time. If it takes longer then so be it, at least the arrival wouldn't then be early

Depending on the route taken the journey. seem to be between. 38 mins and about? 50 mins which would be without the usual holdups many would expect on that journey

PS the site map and site info is out of date to confuse.members as it shows an LNA and no info to say No LNA

It would appear from the other thread that the CCC are also doing the same - turning away early arrivals.

The two ccc sites we have used do not turn early arrivals away but do not book them in untill 1300 which they have been doing for several years?

I dispute that but why are you dragging this into reasons for bad time keeping when the crux of the thread is about the club imposing membership penalties on early arrivers?

That's a rhetorical question, btw, meaning it does not require an answer.

This one doesn't appear to be doing so .... as said earlier, a MH was at the barrier around 12.30

It is not unknown. to start booking LVs in prior to 1300 where we regularly. stay ,it although frowned upon by some posters is called common sense at very busy times

There will probably be quite a few folks like this, (although of course we don’t know the full story) It’s going to be a learning curve for a few, but my guess is this will be a lesson well and truly learned.

Everyone with a Club Site booking gets an email/text reminder that the earliest arrival time is now 1pm. And it’s plastered all over various webpages now, so only the truly unconnected/ignorant can claim to be unaware.

If the Club is going to “make rules” then it does need to enforce them. 👍

I can imagine the lesson that got learned by that customer...it won't involve visiting CAMC sites again...👎
