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?

In 2016 a Somerset dealership went up in flames, vans are very flimsy and fire spreads quickly.

Still no sign of a 6m spacing at that dealership…. A chap might assume it’s not actually of any relevance to that fire.

But then as none of the LVs in the picture would be connected to any services as in storage situations  then unless started deliberately as has happened which then destroyed many LVs because of the closeness

Vans pitched and in use with human beings on board and gas/electricity in use and you compare them with empty vans stored in a dealer's yard.

You must be really bored tonight.😟

We have seen the local Fire Brigade arrive at the Cirencester  club site unannounced and went around the site to check on spacing was correct  a few years ago and no issues and they were happy with what they saw. and drove off the site.

Why oh why can’t folk just accept that the peg and it’s position is just a guide to get pitching ‘right’. Right of course means for safety, for comfort and for some degree of that feeling of personal space many of us desire. Get it wrong or apply a free for all results in issues, disappointment and disgruntlement. Am I alone in witnessing several members of our society, particularly at the present moment,  who, for a whole host of reasons, need rules and guidance to help not only themselves but also the rest of us. Like the site maps we are handed out at arrival illustrates, pitch as described or ask for guidance if another configuration you wish is possible. What is the problem with asking unless of course some just don’t like to do or ‘hear’ what they don’t want to hear.

And yet, on a recent peg free zone site week, lots of people randomly parked, left side, right side, nose in, nose out, across the pitch and… 

No was was put out, no one was inconvenienced, everyone was happy. Even people proudly displaying their caravan club sticker happily joined in the random pitching free for all, freed from the tyranny of the peg.

I am at loss to know what you want in all these postings Harry? First I thought it was something to do with fire spacing and now you sound like a 'freedom fighter' 

If you feel that you personally are under the tyranny of the peg then the answer is very simple don't use club sites? 

No was was put out, no one was inconvenienced, everyone was happy. 

So are you saying that club sites users are any less/more put out, any less/more inconvenienced or not as happy? Would they be happier without the tyranny of the peg?   

Are you campaigning for those poor unfortunate souls who (voluntarily remember) go to club sites and live under the tyranny of the peg? I wonder why they put themselves through such tyranny in such large numbers and even pay for the privilege?

Is your slogan - LV users of the club revolt, you have nothing to lose but your pegs!

You’ve never known tyranny if having to park to a peg is your idea of tyranny🤣🤣. The graveyards are full of folk who thought Health & Safety was for idiots but not for them☹️
