Saving a pitch as you are booking in

  .... Another scenario. On several occasions my OH wanders off with our MH using this pitch sign whilst I fill with water. Anyone see her putting it on a pitch might think we had jumped the gun, however, we have already paid and are through the barrier. It seems a much more sensible approach than driving round, finding a pitch, then driving round again to fill with water.

I can't see any difference between this & what the OP posted ..... 🤷‍♂️

following on from the early arrival story, which I completely agree with if it says 1pm then it should be 1pm. To add to thus we arrived at the required time at Castleton to find 2 units already their booking in, when we finally were let in there was a caravan outfit behind us didn’t take a great deal of notice until we arrived at the service pitches of which there are 8 ish in on separate area and found a women stood on a pitch saving it for the outfit behind us. Total cheek and disrespect for not only the rules but also fellow members

Obviously I’m of a different era to some. What has happened to the etiquette, the friendly fellow member attitude, the we are all in this together of yesteryear. That first come to pitch practice I’ve enjoyed and understood in years gone by. All gone?

Chair, table, car person. All strategies to beat others to a vacant pitch unoccupied by either caravan or motorhome.

Mmm, and the one I experienced was a lad emerging from a unit 3 or 4 back in the queue carrying a EHU lead which he then ran with and deposited on the favoured pitch way in advance of booking in. Friendly fellow member indeed😣

I used to like the system at Cherry Hinton, Cambridge ~~  there the New Arrivals are held in a Queue until they have booked themselves and 'van in BUT are then sent on a 'walk around' to find the pitch of choice. They then return to the office, inform the staff of pitch number, then go and park yer wheels !
