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.

Naturally, they'd restrict it to those on site, CY. Why would they open a finite resource to those who choose to stay in lay-bys to save site fees? Restricting it to those on site would ensure supplies were not gobbled up by those for whom it was not intended.
As you still wouldn't use club sites, LPG provision won't affect you or your decisions on where to stay at all 🤷♂️

Posted on 22/03/2023 10:39 by huskydogTDA says she pops in to get gas even when not staying on the site , is that not the same ? Taking gas away from those on site , or does it depend on who posts what ?

TDA used to pop into Marazion when staying 200 metres away, and visiting friends who were staying on the Site. TDA also very politely asked site staff if it was possible to buy a bottle and flashed a Membership card, and didn’t get grumpy if it was refused. At no point did TDA expect rather expensive infrastructure (LPG bulk storage and delivery point) to be installed at a seasonal Site merely for TDA to save a few quid. TDA operates under the basis of common sense and fair provision. 🤣

Forge an alliance and become an offshoot of a local mini market or other local provider. Also rather than pay for their own fridge and freezers take advantage of the big providers, Birdseye and Walls for example, who will often provide equipment FoC if their products are being stocked.
