Hunters Moon

Content has been removed.

Anything with a flame is a fire hazard. We live next to a (now cut) wheatfield  the stubble could go up in flames and endanger everyone around. Understanding the dangers is vital. I'm sure most people would grasp this basic knowledge, Hunters Moon is surrounded by tinder dry woodland and vegetation. The recent rain has hardly touched the surfaces.

It could be said that this is a responsible action on the part of the site staff. Did you ask the wardens about it?

I think you would be better off contacting the club's sites dept if you’re not happy as it’s very unlikely anyone from the club will react to a forum post. However, I have reported your post to the Community Manager in the hope that she may bring it to the attention of the appropriate staff for you.

It sounds as if the site have banned outdoor cooking, no doubt to reflect the dangers they see locally. The local site staff should be your first port of call for an explanation although in the current very dry conditions it's hardly a surprise.

Here's the LINK to the legal requirements imposed by Dorset County Council recently (due to massive heathland fires etc.) Note the Wareham Forest bit!

Instead of coming on. CT and having a rant  how about contacting the sites department at East Grinstead House and ask for clarification of what the reasoning for such a ban if you have already received a negative reply from site staff

That's strange as the site is deep within Wareham Forest and I doubt whether CAMC insurers would want the club to add to any risks to life and limb. All parties would legally have to consider the risks involved whether they are in or out of the defined public areas.

I think it's a sensible precaution taken by site staff no matter if it's in or out of a certain area, better safe than sorry.

I'm not into BBQ's but would it really ruin a holiday? I can think of worse things that would on a caravan holiday, heavy rain, mud, high winds, awning being ripped, no EHU for long periods, no faculties open for more than a day, breakdowns...

Or a raging fire all round and/or within the site!!
