I have just returned from a magical few days at one of our favourite CL sites over in North Suffolk and having had a very long chat with the owner, I honestly do wonder what has happened to the once considerate and understanding C&MC members!
Whilst we were there our 3 springer spaniels were kept under very strict control as they always are, however the couple in a caravan opposite to us who had an old border collie as well as a younger semi dock tailed black lab paid not even the slightest regard to the Clubs rules about keeping their dogs under control at all times!
At approx. 0700 hrs. their caravan door would open and both dogs were let out to roam wherever they wanted to throughout the site as well as beyond the surrounding hedges doing heaven knows what and whilst these dogs were out their owners could be seen sat inside their van doing absolutely no kind of dog surveillance or control..... Later on each day, the man could be seen casually walking around attempting to find any of their unwanted deposits and on most occasions without any kind of success!
The owners told me that this year since they were allowed to open their doors, a lot of their visitors had been among the new breed of members of the Club who appeared to pay absolutely ZERO regard to anyone else on the site or indeed offering any kind of consideration for the owners.
Surely, is it acceptable for members to leave broken microwaves dumped by the waste bins on a small 5 pitch CL site, or how about leaving behind a badly stained king sized quilt and cover, full sized but broken Cadac BBQ's, broken lounger chairs etc. etc.
When I originally joined the Club, whenever and wherever possible myself and all members I ever knew used to attempt to leave absolute zero sign that they had been to a CL site, always trying to go out of our way to make the life of the CL owner as easy as possible.
What the hell has happened?
