Which part of earliest arrival time did you not understand? Was the Late Arrival area also marked as Early Arrival.

Common sense and good manners would dictate phoning to inquire if an 8.30am arrival was acceptable.

You beat me to it, Easy. 

Never assume you can do your own thing by bending the rules but always ring and check first. 

To be fair to NandC they don't seem to be complaining but merely warning others. That might have received more publicity in a general thread though. Maybe we should say 'Thanks for the heads up'

Hmm, maybe, but I always thought the ‘Late Night Arrivals’ area was just that and ‘Do not arrive before....’ meant what it said. Oh, well.

You should have paid for the night before like everyone else on site.

Arriving that early is a bit "naughty" why did you not think "i will ring the site the day before to check,? then an "arrangement"  could have been agreed, as you do only pay for persons not a pitch on LNA
