just booked a few weeks at the blackpool south club site .But it now seems that they have altered the arrival time from 12 to 1 o-clock I can go along with that as its a very narrow lane outside so no room to queue with out causeing a traffic jam . My gripe (complaint) is that sites don,t enforce the leave time we have seen people in caravans leaving at 4pm at blackpool and believe it or not 2 leaving southport site at 6.30pm (caravans) you can,t tell if motorhomes are leaving or just nipping out so come on club sites lets have some rules everybody has to stick to in fairness to all members.

I dont log onto this forum very often, but when i do i have always found some valuable information particularly travel in Europe for e.g. but this post is 21 pages of dribble, how can we expect CMHC to take posts on this sight seriously if members spend weeks/months airing a grievence that CMHC have no intention of addressing, and why should they ? after a brief read there doesnt appear to be any common ground that CMHC could take action on i.e. we all have differing needs and different sites have different logistical needs.

Your last sentence sums it up 'Rufs', the club has thought long and hard and decided, how it is now strikes the happy medium for everyone.👍

The last few pages were the most sensible posts in this thread laughing

I'm  of  the  opinion  that  this  problem  of  Arrival  Times  would  quickly  disappear  if  the  Club  stayed  true  to  it's  roots  and  barred  those  damned  motorised  caravans  from  membership  as  in  the  old  days.  Harrumph  grunt  grunt.

I think rules are an age related thing. Personally, there's a bit of rebel still alive in me, so rather than capitulate and accept that shuffle onto a slow moving conveyor belt, I am still happy walking alongside, chipping in with the odd "does it have to be this way?" comment, or if someone particularly tries to block the conveyor, stepping over them, to the greener grass, the other side!

Be careful what you may wish for. A couple of years ago we did a camper van tour of New Zealand. The norm there is no arrivals before 14:00 and departures by 10:00. Seemed to work very well.

But  FIRST  OF  ALL,  TTDA,  one  has  to  recognise  a  need  to  change  before  one  can  adapt  winksealed

I understand what you are saying but some rules are given from a higher authority ( national government, school, local council, at work, parents when younger...) and these are the ones you may not agree with and all of us at one time have thought them stupid or silly and want to rebel against them. But these rules are imposed on you, you have to abide by them or choose not as they case may be and take the risk/consequences if caught (part of the fun when younger) and these types of rules are difficult to get away from.

But with club rules you voluntarily decide to join the club and/or book a site. You are not being forced to join/book. you sign to abide by them of your own free will. I can't really understand why you join/book/sign then think the rules do not apply or should be changed to suit your own personal circumstances after joining?

It would be interesting if they scrapped the idea of arrival times altogether, just let everybody get on with it.
