A lack of Showers.

A lovely site in a beautiful location, and we had a lovely holiday, as we have done previously on this site. We know that covid has necessitated changes to the clubs usual arrangements, and requires us all to maintain greater distances between individuals, and this manifests itself acutely in the ablutions blocks on club sites. We were advised on arrival by the warden that members are being asked to use their own ablutions facilities where possible, and we were happy to accept that in principle. But, I cannot believe that to open only 1 shower cubicle from a row of 6 in the men`s block is acceptable. Other sites are not applying these rules in such a vexatious manner. Only 2 WCs were open, spaced out across a block of 4 cubicles. So why could the same logic not be applied to the showers, as it has been applied at other sites, and allow 3 showers to be open? Only 1 washing cubicle is open, again from 4 in the block. Is this logical? Not 100m from the site gates, is a public toilet operated by the council, where all the facilities are fully open and operating normally without any closed cubicles. Why is the club applying such stringent rules on this site? In the one operational shower for the 62 pitches, there is no stool or seat, and only two small hooks for personal items. Is that satisfactory? Does the club consider if the facilities provided meet the basic hygiene requirements for a site of 62 pitches. Obviously when the ablutions block was built, and then extended, it was considered 6 showers, 4 WCs, and 4 washing cubicles were needed. Why are they now not needed? My wife and I have been members for over 25 years, and have never had cause to complain about anything on any of the many club sites we have stayed over that time, but I do feel strongly about this matter. The facilities currently provided are not sufficient, and I can see that if we do not raise this matter, the club and / or the site wardens - or managers as we now apparently call them- will not reopen the facilities in full when the covid restrictions are lifted. They will be a large CL, but at club full facility site prices. Most of the members staying on site will have had both jabs by now, and we are allowed to make our own decisions about what are acceptable social distances every where else, so why can`t the club open the facilities and allow us do the same in the ablutions block, rather than treat us like children?
