Leaving early and paying for the extra day

Just reading through comments about time etc., when we joined staying until 4 on a Sunday was fairly normal on some sites. We have not asked for years as we are retired. Today we left Stamford site after a weeks stay (lovely site reaction of many vaners) and leaving after 12:00 could be very problematical as the road up to the site is single with passing points not a great place to meet another unit.

Just a thought about changing arrival times 10:00 arrival would mean 9:00 leave.  The hour is also there to give site staff time to check condition of pitches.

No system is perfect but with high use of sites what we have got is the best compromise to me. 

A very positive point from me I love the new two peg pitch marking so much easier than the old original of peg in middle of van or at corner.

Interesting idea. I’ll look into that thanks 

We spent years when working arriving Friday evening (often getting the worse pitch on site) then asking for a couple of hours extension on Sunday.  In the good old days pre COVID this was an easy thing to do but them days are gone and the club just really wants your money for the least amount of effort on their part.

If I was paying for the Sunday night I wouldn't even bother telling them just leave when ready as long as you are not breaking another silly CMC no movement rule it is up to you when you leave 

Since retiring we have not renewed our membership refuse to pay the high prices and have the endless silly rules dictated to you

Shame it used to be a great club!

Evening

We've been pretty much full this weekend (10 spaces) but as we only had one arrival today I agreed that two of todays departures were welcome to stay until 4pm. Two others had already booked another night to enable them a 7 o'clock get away. Both options are widely used, the 4pm one when possible. Is that me being authoritarian?

the problem with doing that it messes up others who want a few days or a week's holiday on the said site . as site data shows its fully booked for those days when there's vacancies.then said site looses out rest of the week as no one on it .look for local centre rally's as you'll have enough power with your battery for that short length of time 

I assume you mean paying for the extra night messes up others. I don’t see it that way as the person 'buying' the pitch is perfectly entitled to stay all night and leave the next day which would give the same appearance on any availability chart. You could say anyone who makes a booking of any sort is messing up others.

A warden granting a 4pm departure messes up no one either as that warden knows of any arrivals due and acts accordingly as JK explained.
