When is a rule not a rule?

Just got back from Cromer Seacroft site where there are two notices at the entry stating “Sorry no arrivals before 1.00pm”. However on at least two occasions we witnessed people, not only arriving before 1.00pm but being booked in and allowed on site, why do I bother timing my journeys and / or stopping in lay-bys to ensure I arrive after the advertised time when the rule is so blatantly ignored by others (including the wardens who allow it to happen)? 🤬

DK, I've seen my profile name is getting mixed with Blue...no matter and yes CAMC could be more forthcoming with explanations as they have a paid up membership represented by committees drawn from the same.

On a personal level it doesn't matter too much, I don't spend time observing arrivals and I've always thought that site managers have some discretion. However CAMC could reduce angst over this by insisting early arrivals have to wait till 1pm as the C&CC do.

Apologies, Specsavers come to mind

I would agree that in most circumstances it is probably not an issue. We arrived at a Club site today just before 15.00 pm! Where it is more of an inconvenience is when you are moving shorter distances between sites. Having said that the last two sites we have been on, non Club sites, the arrival time has been 2.00pm!

What’s the obsession with being first in the gates as early as possible?

Only that I would rather be pitching on a Club Site rather than hanging around on my storage site or sitting in a lay-by waiting for the 13:00hrs arrival time,and then find yourself in a lengthy queue.

(Admitting that this was based on the CCC when they introduced it)

I can assure you that that at the ccc site we stayed at in April there was a queue at the gate every day we were there raging from two to about 16 waiting for the 1300 first arrival time

It does not matter a jot what are Val time is at any site club or commercial some will think it does not apply to them as ,in most walks of life with any "rules"

Unfortunately you are never going to please all the people, all the time. For every person who wants to get up and get going, there is likely to be one who wants to take things a little slower. For us 1pm is a benefit if we want to get there at arrival time to secure a HS pitch. It gives us time to restock on the way without rushing. Or if starting out, extra time to bring it home from storage and fill it. Although soon it won’t matter as you’ll be able to book surface type.
That’s all gone a bit quite by the way, no mention of when in the latest newsletter.🤔

Morning

On your last sentence Steve, we start our in depth training next week so I guess things are now moving along.
