Great Big Green Week

Agree with you Ttda OH has the satnav in the car and I have the maps UK and French.

OH is ex IT so most things are done online just the way he works.

The club need to invest in more Solar panels for refurbishment of toilet blocks and more heat source pumps rather than relying on gas boilers.

TTDA to your list above I would ban the washing of vehicles on site and of course there is the old one of save water, bath with a friend!

Are you suggesting communal showers?  

Vehicle washing on site is already banned PD, and has been for a long time unless safety is compromised as below or in a specific wash down are, which I've never seen on any of my visits.

Guests are not permitted to carry out a full scale washdown of their outfit on site, unless there is a specific wash down area. However, we do permit day to day mirror/screen/lights/windows cleaning with a bucket, sponge and very light detergent i.e. to make the outfit road safe, providing the water from the bucket does not get thrown over the outfit onto the pitch.

Good to know but there are some not following the rules.

Totally agree PD, rare for us to do a wash down other than windows, and that was only on CLs. As for showering, OH and I do share if it’s a unisex, pay as you go shower. 😁

Really? I've never noticed but I assume you have?

Of course there are always rule-breakers but your suggestion of  ban is already in place. If it is noticed then the wardens should be informed asap.

Indeed I have otherwise I would not have raised the subject. When I have engaged said owners in conversation, usually with the jovial comment, "You can do mine next" it turns out the outfit is kept in storage and it is convenient to clean it on site. Others just want to keep their pride and joy sparkling.

If the owner isn't using any detergent, I can't see how it is any different than rainfall.

There are pollutants in the road grime picked up on a vehicle and also from the vehicle itself. Of the latter, one of the worst is break lining dust. I wasn’t aware but the levels of polluted water produced by commercial car washes is significant and toxic. They recycle, treat and remove pollutants before the water is used again, replaced and finally disposed of.
