It was also our first visit to this site and because of mobility issues I requested a pitch close to the toilet block. As it was the end of school holidays we expected it to be relatively quiet. Unfortunately this was not the case. What a ridiculous decision to site the children's play area adjacent to the toilet block. A notice on to the toilet block gate that states "no wheeled equipment to be used in this area" was totally ignored by all children using bicycles, scooters and hover boards to race around the toilet block to get to the play area, similarly ignored was the notice stating children should be supervised at all times. There is even a bicycle rack adjacent to the play area gate that further encourages users to cycle in a prohibited area.This entrance to the play area is immediately opposite the door to the ladies toilet resulting in unsupervised children using the toilet as an extension to their play area. This is the result of poor design and planning. Why not consider closing the two existing entrances to the play area and create a new entrance on the opposite side of the area away from the toilet block so as to discourage users from riding their wheeled equipment around the toilet facility to gain access to the area and thus causing a safety hazard to members especially when exiting the ladies toilet.

I was quite shocked at the condition that some users left the toilet block. Screwed up toilet paper left in and around the hand wash basins, empty shower gel containers, shaving foam bottles and general rubbish left for others to clear up, evidence of smoking in the single unisex toilets. On one occasion one of the shower cubicles resembled the aftermath of a blizzard with copious amounts of what I assume was talcum power covering the floor and shower tray. Also in the dish washing facility I am disappointed by how many people cannot be bothered to swill the sink out when finished, leaving a mixture of food remnants and soapy scum for the next unfortunate user. There were several occasions when the toilets, both ladies and gents were blocked necessitating extra emergency cleaning action by the wardens. In over forty years as I member I have never witnessed facilities on a club site left in such condition by other users.

Is this decline in standards perhaps due to the number of travelers using the site? It is obvious that a proportion of the caravans on site are not being used for pleasure and recreation purposes but as a base for their owners to operate their businesses from, leaving site early morning and returning late in their "white vans".

The club must address this issue before it becomes a major problem and effects the pleasure of genuine users. The wardens on site are put in an impossible position trying to deal with the problems caused and police the behavior of children who are not supervised by their parents.
