Does anyone know why the position of the pitch peg has been changed?  (Is it on all sites?) I don’t really want to look out onto my car from my awning and would much prefer it was behind my caravan with the caravan in the middle of the pitch.  It also means the grassed area to the side of the pitch remains unused or a s that the intention?

I don't believe anything's changed. It'll likely be something to do with the pitch/site you're on.

Your best bet is to ask the warden on site as he/she is the person who'll know.

As far as I know nothing has changed.  The site staff at Southport tried to change the arrangement to caravan > awning > car stating that 'the other way doesn't work here'.  I begged to differ as it had been working perfectly well for some time.  I contacted Head Office who investigated and the next time we visited Southport all was back to normal car > caravan > awning.  I'd much rather have a three metre gap between my awning and my neighbour's vehicle rather than have my own car within a foot of my awning.  

If you're not happy with the response I'd suggest you do as I did and contact Head Office Sites Team.

We recently had a week at Hawes. It certainly didn’t apply to the service pitches. Some of the standard ones I passed were car/caravan/awning. However I can’t say I paid that much attention, perhaps the other side of the site was different.

Same here Steve and there are a lot of pitches at Hawes,  some much more roomy than others, hardly any grass in some places so it's quite varied.

At Gowerton we went in forwards, inflatable windbreak and sun canopy on the left as you looked onto the pitch from the access way, caravan in the middle then car on the right.

Next occupied pitch left was car / caravan / awning.

Next occupied pitch right was car / caravan / awning / car.

Other side of pitch pocket we were in was car / caravan / awning on the right pitch, then awning / caravan / van (tug). on the left. Unoccupied pitches each side.

 

Lots of space first week of school holidays on these reported jam packed sites. Wonder if last 11 days of school summer holidays will be as spacious on the 2 sites we are booked on. Hope so.

I reckon that you are a little bit out Jill as it could not have been caravan > car > awning  as you would have nothing to attach the awning to wink
