Why not standardise check in & depart times?

I'm sure this has been posted before but isn't it about time the Club standardise check in time.. and introduced a standard process . Its so frustrating that sites seem to have a multitude of arrival and depart times . Surely anyone leaving can get off pitch by 11am at the latest . Thus leaving a clear hour for narrow approach roads etc . All new arrivals then know mid-day is a fixed time no matter what site you choose. This makes most difference to those on first day as the extra hour for pitching is nice to have . Wardens can open and close toilet blocks etc to suit the site and the staff . Why is that not possible ?

I don't have any "selfish requirements" JVB. I'll turn up after the appointed time, no problem. Plus I'll happily turn up at any time when touring abroad if that is allowed. I take the "When in Rome" route everytime.

However I do agree with BB if he is suggesting the CAMC is slow to take on board other ways of doing things. It seems that most things are done to a set template regardless of whether another idea has merit.

The "over there" as has often been said is so different in respect of many things, and it seems staffing levels are what allows much of what drives the way sites work and also some larger commercial sites over here,

It seems as my post earlier ,that big site operators as both the clubs over here,, need some standardisation with an attempt to get all sites "singing from the same song sheet " where possible which should then be understood by all the membership which has to be tweaked in places, to take in the anomalies of the difference in sites and the area/access needed

why didn't you make reference to the differently and not just the 'better'?

It seems now that BB is in the hot seat instead of Deleted User User

because there was a / between the two, ...manages things differently/better... meaning one or the other? Is there any other way of reading that? Also does differently need defining in this context - ie the club's way?

so my question stands, who defines better?

Also why is it when some posters disagree, or question with, a poster are they putting them in the hot seat ? Are posters not allowed to offer a different view/question without that being said?

differently or better ... which ever you perceive is appropriate.

But when 'some' posters disagree, they are then interrogated to the n'th degree .... even making reference to page numbers of what they may or may not have said or even posting parts of somebody's quote because it suited their argument.

Not only are some posters picked up for disagreeing with others, Corners, but some are criticised for agreeing. Seems it’s a lose/lose situation🤷🏻‍♂️

No my, or one's perception doesn't come into it, he posted:

what is it about us in the uk that can't even be bothered to learn from how other places (or other sites) manages things differently/better?

It's pretty clear that it is his view that other places manage things differently/better (and we can't learn from them)

As to your second paragraph did that happen here on this thread? I don't think it did? And if it happens in other threads as you say so what? This is a discussion forum and counter points are what it's all about, who is say how that should be done - you?

I don't/wouldn't mind what I'm asked to justify my posts and in whatever way people choose.

But getting off topic. Perhaps start a new thread to discuss thing further?

That is so true too. Ridiculed too at times.
