Unconfirmed reports of Knaresborough Club Site having to close due to a group of caravanners having illegally entered the site.  If you have a booking it is recommended that you ring the club's HQ.

It is alleged by members who have left the site earlier today that children had been sent to retrieve barrier fobs from the box at the exit.

Go back to the beginning of the thread GT  wink  ....  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!!

Better still return them to reception on departure. Some sites even require a deposit (oops should mention that word) refundable on departure. Godrevy used to charge a couple of pounds deposit for the rear gate key so it is not unusual for the Club site to do so.

If when you leave as on quite a few sites it is requested to post your barrier card through the office letter box as the office may not be personed ,as other work is required on site before the earliest arrival time,wink

It would be difficult here as after clearing the out barrier you could be obstructing the public footpathsurprised

A couple of minutes inconvenience while the passenger nips back with the barrier fob. Even solo owners wouldn't take long. If reception is closed, pop them through the letter box like they do at Clumber Park.

You could be obstructing a public foot path waiting to depart with traffic on Ham Lane. this morning for example with  the park runsurprised and even longer by returning a barrier card and if the driver pulled onto Ham Lane even with a motor caravan you would be a great ambassador for LV owners, with other road users undecided

The C&CC sites we have used have had key pads for entry and open automatically on exit. As long as these can accept more than one code and be updated easily, I think they are less likely to be compromised than cards left in a box. In the event of an incursion the codes could easily be Deleted User and only those entitled issued with a new one.

Even easier to get in if no code is required for exit.
