First of all the positives - and there are some. Well run club site; friendly helpful and efficient wardens; some delightful views and bird life. But oh how the facilities blocks need upgrading - and desperately. They're clean and adequate - barely. They MUST be inefficient in climatic / environmentally friendly terms and such a poor usage of available space. The buildings are good but they simply need gutting and much better use of those energy sapping vestibules incorporated into more, in number and efficiency, up to date facilities. How this call for investment into (in my personal experience) the most expensive site I have ever visited, has been overlooked is hard to imagine. And why so expensive? Some nice views but not a lot; noise from the activity centre adjacent rents the peace and quiet at times; miles from anywhere so a minimum 11 mile drive to almost anywhere and not a great deal for children activities - so not too family friendly. Upgrade to all facilities wouldn't cost the earth - dare I say less than a rebranding of Club livery and logo - and is well overdue. And a reduction in fees may attract more visitors too. And who pays for maintenance of the dog exercise area? Do I? As a non dog owner? Huge numbers of dogs - generally should the Club be introducing a nightly fee for each dog so that the owners pay for these costs? None of the foregoing reflects on the (current) wardens who are of a high standard and calibre - but they must hate those toilet blocks. They really are 1950's (the facilities not the wardens) - in a year when Doctor Who becomes a woman! Not good enough.
