Flapping & Flashing

Save the Penguin One...

The old Marmite question

I wouldn't say I dislike them but I can't see any point whatsoever in the need. Like David says it would be nice t hear the points of view of someone who actually uses a flag or light pole, or for that matter fairylights strung across the awning. The reason I say this is that I have just spent a week on a cl in the Shropshire hills. There was no light pollution over the field except for one caravan who had erected an LED pole tied to the A frame. The funny thing about it was that whilst it was illuminated at night they owners where indoors with the blinds closed so what is the point. 

We fly our flag at rallies and festivals and we have flashing lights on the pole as well. 

If you don't know why we do it then no amount of explanation will help. 

We don't bother on club sites for obvious reasons 

Last years national was like  the league of nations but it was fun and it helps find your van. Flashing lights ok too as long as they get switched off overnight, not so good for migraine sufferers. The telescopic poles are light weight plastic so shouldn't cause damage. The stall selling all these things was probably one of the busiest at the show.

Families on holiday in the summer seem to go in for this. probably I'd have done the same with my family to make the holiday enjoyable.

Tasteless...moi? Yes, sometimes. 

I'm afraid that until the club says it's a no go , people will continue to enjoy what they consider totally harmless .

Personally I've no problem with flags /balloons /lights  like a previous poster said , as long as things are secured properly its not an issue .

On the site we are currently on  we have a couple on display 🎏

edit..........

Now if you really want to see a flag display at a campsite  Silverstone F1 Grand Prix weekend is the place to go , ultimately if you haven't got something flying...... you're the odd one out 

We have never had a problem with them but then again I cannot remember being very close to one either. I can see the point of those with meaning like clubs or similar but the rest just seem to be a waste of time.

it is all an individual choice I like them and use them on occasion but not when I consider it too windy I also have small windmills set up as well.

LCFC supporters! That's perfectly permissible Valda! 😂😂😂 It must have been during last season when we won the Premier League?? No, I agree, if adults can't control their excitement then what an example to kids!! Don't blame you! I apologise on behalf of my county! 

Along with a massive windbreak extending from your Awning and various solar powered animal statues😂😂
