As we have always found, this site was immaculate, both the shower block and the site itself. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. This is an excellent site for just parking up and walking to the town centre, and all other facilities (if you are reasonable mobile, and if not, there is a park and ride nearby) Excellent bus and train connections in Southport centre. The Atkinson building is always warm welcoming and has interesting exhibitions, cafe, library, and tourist information. Now the BUT: We were dismayed to find the large section of the site barred to members, as was its associated shower block. Never experienced this before here, and the site spaciousness was one of its plus points. Now everyone is confined to a smaller area and one shower block. And to cap it all, of the 6 mens showers in that block, 3 had been taken out of service. This meant I had to queue for a shower at 07:30am!! Not amused. I raised this with the staff, and they said they would sort out the out of service showers. Result - one extra shower opened up, presumably grudgingly as it the water supply was left turned off. Come on the Club and Southport site, stop being so mean and restrictive, employ enough staff so we can use all the faculties we have paid for!!
