Just read a review of Wirral CP site that mentions that the wardens are no longer able to sell basic goods from the reception. They told the reviewer that it was a H.O. management decision.

Is this a regular occurrence elsewhere as I've not seen it mentioned before and not being a regular attendee on club sites would not have come across it?

Should imagine it would affect some members more than others.

I’m surprised you were expected to provide fridges/freezers, JK. I’d have thought CAMC would provide them as they help wardens provide a service to customers - silly me🥺

With a corner shop just down the road, it’s no great hardship for folk staying at that particular site to get their papers and milk but they’ll have to go a bit further for the pasties😀

Thanks for coming back JK. It's obviously personal to you and what you prefer to do.

In response to risk assessments these have to be done in places of work etc but generally these don't shut down businesses they are used to identify areas that may need attention for a variety of reasons. LAs probably have some of the most onerous risk assessment lists but so do many companies, try working with dangerous machinery on a continuous basis, things would grind to a halt without these daily risks.

It's probably more risky driving to a caravan site than entering the site shop....

Hope we hear from the club, you'll be pleased to hear that's my final post on the subject. smile

I recently visited The Woods affiliated site.  The sole item in the site shop was woolly hats. What about people with an allergy to wool?  Surely they must be protected?

And to think that a certain site out in the eastern flat lands First introduced young Brian to the very long life & flavoursome  " Cravendale Milk " because their local milkman had stopped delivering on a daily basis.  Still using that brand of cow-juice and will continue to do so  !

I’m willing to bet good money prepping & RA’s re welding jobs within a fuel/oil refinery entails way more difficulty than LA’s.
