Unlawful trespass at Knaresborough Site

No idea but have encountered members of hat community who have behaved reasonably on C&CC sites

Not aware of any but I have been on a commercial site where there were problems. In this case they were delt with by the police who were going to tow away their caravans if they didn't leave.

The Police,Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill which should provide more protection in these matters is currently going through the House of Lords. I wonder if the Club thinks this Bill will make a difference, some say it will others not? If it receives Royal Assent, as it stands, then perhaps we will have to wait and see how it is enforced with respect to tresspass and illegal entry to sites.

Following on from my report of the problems at Knaresborough on August 26 it would be interesting to learn if any of the affected members who. like myself, had to laeve the site have been officially contacted by the Club with maybie an offer of free night vouchers and an apology, The Club will know who they were as it is a legal requirement. At the moment I feel badly let down by the deafening silence on the Club's part.

Firstly I am not sure what there is to apologise for as these circumstances were outside the control of the Club. There may be lessons to be be learnt but that is for another time. If you have a personal case for compensation you must take that up with the Club direct, no one on this forum will resolve it. I imagine the initial response from the Club would be to concentrate on the well being of their staff who have probably been very shaken up by the experience.

Were you requested.? to leave of did you leave on your own accord ,I am not sure under the circumstances that the club are in any way to blame for what is becoming a more common practice by the people involved.   it is not just this club that has the very same problem

, Hopefully when the latest paper going through parliament becomes law it will help with managing the problems

Having never been in the unfortunate position of having to leave a site under such circumstances, I feel really sorry for the staff and for those members who've had their breaks curtailed, but I don't see how the club can be held responsible in this instance.

By definition, these "trespassers" clearly entered the site illegally.  They didn't book like everyone else, so the club will not know who they are!  These 'people' do not comply with legal requirements like everyone else! 

However, I would have expected site staff to have called the police immediately?  You previously referred to "the trespassers' children throwing stones at all and sundry"  This is surely a matter for the police.  A few criminal offences spring to mind .....  assault, criminal damage etc etc

I wonder if the club make refunds for other unexpected events like flooding?  Do they have insurance to cover refunds to members in these kind of circumstances?  I don't know ....

Thequestion that appears to be unanswered is how they got in !  Club sites have barriers, don't they?  Were they let in ,or did they break in? If the latter the Police should have been summoned immediately !

The CEO and his senior team will be off on jollies and the folk who really run the won’t be allowed to make independent decisions

Go back to the beginning of the thread GT    ....  they sent their kids to 'steal' barrier fobs from the drop off box.  It's surprising how many thing kids with skinny arms can steal!!
