Sometime ago, someone on the forum, produced a list of the locations of sites with Fully Serviced Pitches. Fully serviced pitches are now pretty well essential to me, due to a back condition. I need to minimise any lifting.
I realise now I should have printed a copy of the post, but didn't, as I could always look it up. Try as I may now, I cannot find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Likewise for us. I don't have to worry about running out of water at any time, I can enjoy the holiday more, one less thing to think about, I can be lazy. I know that might well be shocking for some to have a lazy holiday but there you go.

As I stated earlier we now use fully serviced pitches for health reasons, however, there are benefits. The main one is that we do not use the toilet block. Previously, we would get dressed in the morning to go to the shower, and then get undressed again to shower and then get dressed again afterwards. We don't do that now. Perhaps that is why the outside toilets in homes became redundant along with the newspaper on a nail

Not quite sure of your point. Even when we hired an RV in the US with a non removable black waste tank, this still had to be dumped. There was no facility for a direct connection to the sewer, as you get with a static van. Chatworth does have CDP's on each pitch. Which in our case with the cassette on the rear of the van, reduces the emptying distance to about 1 metre. Probably about as good as you are going to get.

Hi everyone. I want you to bear with me for a short time.
I appreciate that there are those who want a list of Serviced Pitches to be readily available and updated, and I am also aware that there are those who wish to discuss Serviced Pitches. This thread has moved towards the latter so I am in the process or re-organising this a little. A discussion such as we are developing here should not really be a sticky, but I appreciate that a list of Serviced Pitches will be useful as a sticky.
What I propose to do is to rename this thread 'Sites with Fully Serviced Pitches - a discussion' which will revert to a 'floating/discussion' thread and to start a new 'sticky' thread which will be for information only, called 'List of Club and Affiliated Sited with (Full) Serviced Pitches'. This will enable us to keep the information in a readily accessible form, while allowing folk to continue the current discussion.
I will also use the term 'Serviced Pitches' and for clarity put the word 'Full' in brackets in the new thread. The Club calls them 'Serviced Pitches' in the site details, but I know many folk use the word 'Full'.
Hope this all makes sense.
Regards,
David
