Arrival times

There are rules Tompo, and wardens can allow people to leave later than the normal time. On occasion I have paid for an extra night and left site “early”, around 7 pm. When I could have stayed until the following morning. How do you know that isn’t what you witnessed?

Also this isn’t really a story is it.

When I used to weekend I would often decide to stay late on the Sunday and pay for the night leaving about 7.30 to 8pm

 Or you could just get on with your own holiday & not worry about what others are doing (within the rules)

Although I've seen very busy sites (in 'other places') deal with arrivals and departures in different (less draconian) ways, I'm happy for the club to keep arrivals and departures apart (if they must)...

So, if we can't do 'flexible' (as in my experiences above) then IMHO, I'd rather the departure times were moved earlier than the arrival time being pushed back later and later....what next, 2-00pm on a winters afternoon....lovely...

how about 11:00 or even 10:00 so that caravans arriving can get set up without having to worry about time/light issues....not an issue for us (or possibly other MHers) per se as we can do a bit of 'visiting' en route...but I can see that, for some with plenty of extra kit (awnings etc) it might be more of one...

If this means moving wardens' other tasks fwd, then so be it....but I'm really not in favour of later arrival times.... 

Anyway, just an opinion...

Posted by me on a n other site recently.

 

" Arrived at Kingsbury water park C&CC site just after 1-00pm on Friday to be faced with a car/ caravan coming towards me along the very narrow lane leading to the site. If you're the guy with the Audi. thanks a lot I really enjoyed having to pull in, not only through the muddy verge but also risking marking my 'van on the branches. 

This morning Sunday 'vans and Motorhomes arriving before Midday. !!

Must say guys, I run a company and know the importance of good customer relations but to expect the wardens to lose their dinner breaks to sign in selfish people is beyond me.

The customer is always wrong ! it's how you let him know it."

I'm sure there is not a problem with wardens allowing us to stay that little bit longer after checking their bookings ( no planned arrivals ).

Happy caravanning.

 

There is great wisdom in having a gap between last departures and first arrivals. it makes perfect sense.     ..All that is required is for the CMC to tell their On-Site employees to insist that all rules set by their h/office are complied with, no ifs or buts.

K . 

 

Tompo, what others have said is quite correct. Late departures can be permitted at the warden’s discretion and it’s perfectly legitimate to pay for the extra night but leave early. Unless you discussed it with the warden you cannot know that others broke the rules. 

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water.

Weird, telepathic, physic Your powers deduced that they had broken all the rules and subsequently ruined your holiday by not adhering to them. They could be a bit miffed on reading this when they:

• May have paid the extra night and left later that day/evening.
• The Warden made a decision when asked which is within the rules for a slightly later departure.
