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 quite like being 'conducted to my pitch'. Saves all that looking around, just follow the bike. They don't stay and supervise the pitching BTW.

You don't have to have the pitch they take you to, CY. You're correct in that they don't "supervise" pitching but they frequently stay to guide you back, offer help and point out where everything is. It's the hands on friendly approach👍

Posted on 19/10/2021 12:14 by CornersteadyPersonally I like to choose my own pitch from what is available. Their choice might not be my choice?
Posted on 19/10/2021 12:25 by KjellNNYou do get a choice, they show you what is available. Then take you for a look if you are undecided.

Not in my experience, on one of the ( I admit very) few times we did actually use a CCC site they just took us to a pitch, we didn't like it, and we asked for another and the particular warden didn't look too happy about that and even asked why, but then did take us to another.
That wasn't the main reason we stopped using CCC sites btw.

Not keen personally and particularly on a 2019 visit to St Neotts C&CC. There were no more than 4 or 5 outfits in front. The car was in direct sun from a cloudless sky and temperatures in the 30s. We stood out of the car in some shade for 20 mins whilst the other outfits sited. the guide asked what I was looking for and I said something facing North. He promptly wandered over to a large map outside the office and came back to say he did not know which way north was. I said that a pitch facing away from the current sun would do 
. He led us to a pitch in full sun which I declined much to his surprise and pointed to a pitch in dappled shade of two trees. "but that does not get much sunlight" he said. I replied exactly! Was I glad to get pitched up to sit in dappled shade with a brew.

Trouble is when members also decide to move the pegs to suit themselves & their outfits. The pegs are are positioned to protect members from fire hazards & should not be moved. How you position your outfit is clearly shown on the back of a diagram of the site supplied when you book in & the peg should not be moved
