Pilot Scheme

I certainly wouldn't be pleased it even looks ridiculous on the plan with the car bang up against the front of the awning, perhaps I've missed the point, what  is the point and who benefits.

I agree with you and feel the need to ask if this is a well thought out plan? Answers on a postcard to EGH.

Perhaps the club will note comments made in this thread🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone in HO who dreams up these schemes actually ever go caravanning 

Very few if I have been advised correctly ,but then an answer that seems to trip off the tongue  of site staff if asked. about strange ideas, it seems is " it is what the members have asked for?"

That's interesting to hear as this was suggested to me at Steamer Quay "consider your neighbours etc." this has never been suggested to me before on arrival. It turned out that the first available good pitch had two motorhomes either side facing each other so whichever way we pitched we'd be looking at someone! It slightly spoilt the arrival procedure as we felt constrained by the suggestion.

I am very pleased Rowena repsonded, I'm hoping this is site specific as many other sites have pitches which present different issues and an overall scheme just won't work but where has this "facing door suggestion" come from?! I'm not keen on receiving more rules on arrival it's offputting and not customer friendly.

Have they consullted the membership or is this site led?

I agree with TGs comments.

If the originator does go camping then they have not noticed that most trailer caravans, and a goodly number of motor caravans, have water supply and waste containers on the non-awning side of the van - and when pitches are not level fore and aft often an amount of piping of some kind. 

Not a problem when one's own vehicle is parked adjacent but there is no guarantee that others on the ajoining pitch will be carefull passing close, not to mention opening a vehicle door and banging it against the caravan!

This begs the queston about changing the rules and not letting the membership know even if it's a so called "pilot scheme"? Confusion reigns.

Try Stratford on Avon racecourse instead. - just down the road and has fewer rules.

Euror. Well maybe but Warwick is convenient for seeing our family. Thanks for the tip if seeing the family wasn't more important. 

With the peg in the left hand corner of the pitch, as illustrated in the site plan in the link, vans with a UK side door would have to reverse in and Continental would have to drive in to get the maximum use of the space? If you pitched the other way you would almost be stepping out onto the next door pitch, or at least the divide between the two pitches. Perhaps that is what the wardens meant but was perhaps misunderstood?
