I am staying on here now on the new pitches after not being here for 12 months..partly due to the lack of awning pitches.  There are two reasons for my review.. Firstly..I would like to praise the wardens, Carl and Janet for the amazing transformation of the site. Not just the re development which gives grassed areas to sit on by your van but the general  'cared for' look of the site.  Everything freshly painted, hedges trimmed to enable visibility both for safety and pleasure. There Are even fresh herbs growing in planters by reception that people are invited to pick and use for free.planters if flowers everywhere. Easier access for the RV emptying point. It is such a busy site but they have excelled themselves in the presentation here. They remembered me when I checked in because a year ago to the date, my dog was run over by a cyclist on the river path...they were so helpful then even though it was noon and peak check in time.  and it was delightful to be recognised when I arrived this week as I tow my van alone. Carl even unhitched and pitched it for me. The second reason for my writing is to plead with people to Not book an awning pitch if you have no intention of erecting an awning.  Many people Want to have an awning and cannot get a pitch where they are able to do so.  This week, many, many awning pitches have never seen sight of an awning, despite various units occupying them yet I have met people who desperately wanted to have one and couldn't book one.  Maybe it is partly because the awning pitch availability is displayed above the non awning ones on the club web site?? Carl and Janet have changed the way they check people in so you get fast tracked on busy days then go back to pay as you collect your keys which has SO improved the bottleneck at noon.  Well done guys...it's a fab site.
