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.

Interesting to note on the latest review at Moreton in Marsh a member is moaning about being spoken to re late departure. They eventually left at 12:35. They did note in their review that outfits were being turned away before 1pm and for folk to note the strict enforcement of arrival / departure times. The message may be finally getting through. Not that we cut it that fine, but in the reviewers position I would have gone and had a word with the warden before 12, to apologise and say I had underestimated packing up but would be leaving shortly.

It’s a bit like an epidemic at the moment on the reviews…….🙄

Personally, I want information on the sites and surrounding areas, not a saga about how inept some folks are at arriving/departing, and how the staff are to blame. 

Does COVID have a “can’t tell the time anymore” side effect🤔
