Lack of choice of pitches on arrival
We have recently returned from the Cirencester site after a very wet start to the season. We note with dismay that sixteen of the prime sites have been turned in to fully serviced pitches. Not with-standing that they are already near service points and toilet blocks. The money could have been well spent on improving other pitches which badly needed attention and widening the roads to accommodate the ever increasing size of vehicles. Plus put in some paths to make it easier to walk to the toilet blocks especially when it is so wet. Why wasn’t the money spent towards negotiating with Cirencester College to improve the approach road on to the site which is appalling.
It seems the sites are becoming elitist if you are prepared to pay. If the only pitch left is a red peg, one is being forced to pay an extra £3.90 a night. Not on. Quote-‘ WE don’t reserve pitches first come first served.’ Is it our club?
We have spoken to three site wardens who say the subject is always bought up at managers meetings regards the unfair situation. We note that Cadeside will be having 14 new pitches next year, two of those will be Red pegs. It begs the question ‘why’? It is a transit small site. As I have mentioned earlier what choice do people have if it is the only pitch left? Does the Caravan Club realise in a few years’ time, a generation will not be able to pay the site fees!
