Has the club abandoned pitching guidelines? I've always been told quite firmly to reverse the van onto a pitch with the nearside corner next to the peg.
I'm currently at Malvern Hills and people are going freestyle with people seemingly pitching in any direction they want. I wish I'd been told this when I arrived as I would have ignored what I thought was a rule in favour of a better view.

I'm not sure what you mean by any direction but on any club site (there are a few where this doesn't apply like Sandringham) you can either reverse in or go nose in to the peg.
Although it does also say if you want to pitch any other way please speak to the wardens.

Barsar, this has been covered in discussions before and I've been on the receiving end of getting wound up about it.
"Guide" is the key word. Nose in or out are the preferred line as these mean you meet fire regulations distances for safe pitching. But you can ask the warden if it is possible for you to pitch across the pitch, something we have done on larger pitches with our small van.Sometimes we have been denied this request even though we would have been over 8 m from the next van.
