Flag Flying.

This is ours, now grounded...

I'm with you on that Tammy.

Any sort of unnecessary noise at night should be avoided if possible and people with flags should actually think about whether they are an inconvenience to their neighbours.

We once, before caravan came along, stayed at Blakeney Hotel. Right on the front on the harbour. Staff were a bit perplexed when we refused an upgrade to a room at the front overlooking the harbour. All those lanyards clanging away. No thanks. Quite happy with room overlooking the car park.

Are you the one who stuffed newspapers round the bells in the local church WN?! 🎶

Drat. Promise you won't tell.

The side of Baltic Wharf that adjoins the sailing club wouldn’t be good then.😉

The majority of our vanning is on rallies where the vast majority will be proudly flying their flags and a fair few will also have lights of some description on show.

Stayed there in winter before covid but we had wonderful cold frosty weather so no clanging. Pure luck.

Mind you I had no problem sleeping at Newport site either despite it being adjacent to the main run off from motorway. Have slept through thunderstorms before. But small things like flags fluttering or dogs barking a mile away will wake me up.

Can't figure out my sleeping pattern. 

As I mentioned earlier up thread you are amongst like minded people when you rally where the majority probably like that sort of thing so its not out of place and is probably expected. However on a Club site many don't expect it and some may even feel it lowers the tone As is seems to be allowed I would just like people that do have such things to think about their fellow campers and take them done if its windy and turn all non essential lights off by a reasonable time at night, probably around 10.00pm?

I don't think the OP was expecting the response he got on here Dave

Just on this subject, I had to answer a complaint recently to a fellow member complaining about a caravan adorned with led lights that apparently was spoiling their holiday (even though they were 200 meters away). The villain concerned is an elderly gent with an illness who likes to sit out just after dark to watch his lights as it gives him happiness. The lights were turned off when he retired for the evening. I struggled with that complaint but managed to sort it amicably. Ok if someone's not happy with their neighbours flags or whatever then politely say so but  what happened to live and let live in this intolerant society we seem to live in? Sad.

Hi all my wife loves all the lights around the camp sites especially the darker nights when we are walking into the site now especially with lots of sites turning lights off not keen on flapping flags but the ones we have been  near haven’t make a sound maybe it wasn’t windy enough we have lights but they are solar powered and yes it does help you find your way home after a few drinks it’s the price increase that we are more concerned with we booked in June for August just added one extra day yesterday and the price increased I was told by head office today prices can change at any time why I didn’t get a answer to that also electricity has gone down
