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.

We have stayed at Hillhead a couple of times, there is lots of room for waiting units to park safely without disturbing others but the surrounding roads are not good for finding a parking place for a car and caravan or a large motorhome

I think the wardens need to show some compassion and not treat all cases the same

I agree if you turn up over 30 minutes early and it is not safe for you to park up then yes you should be turned away but without knowing the facts we should not judge others

As is often the case with CMC common sense seems a thing of the past

The point is, Dawn, that the club appears to be standardising the rules across the network. If you look back at TDA's post earlier today, she outlines what can happen if varying standards are applied at different sites.

Indeed, we shouldn’t judge others but that rather flies in the face of your suggestions that the wardens didn’t show compassion or use common sense. As you said, we do not know the facts other than a member turned up early.
