Covid..... What Covid 19, just Covid 19 idiots

Just back from one of our local sites for a 3 day test to see that everything works as it should, ready for a 14 nighter to a lovely Cl North Norfolk in June.

We are both totally outraged by many of our fellow members that disregarded daily the site regulations regarding the covid 19 safety protections laid down at the Carsington site by the excellent wardens that go to great lengths to ensure the site is safe for every single one of its membership .

It wasn't just the one but the many. 

We  were on a pitch opposite the facilities block & the number of people entering & using the toilet areas with total disregard for wearing a mask inside, never mind stopping to use the hand gel sanitisation & wrist band control to show that a maximum of 6 people inside at anyone time.

Thank goodness we use our own caravan  end washroom, if this is how so called responsible people act when asked to perform simple instructions even a child of 5 could follow, the entire network should be shut down with immediate effect, because if it's happening on one site there will be others too.

Compass, -  What did you honestly expect? That is exactly why the CAMC should have respected the original position of the Government road map  and not tried to lobby for the opening of the blocks on the 12th April. Once again profit before safety!

This is exactly what was happening when I was at Burford last September, the problem is that there is no real answer to the problem. Some people just think the rules don't apply to them, but you do meet them everywhere unfortunately.

I can't help feeling that some members really don't give a flying fig for any safety precautions whatsoever. 

I can only be glad that all our forthcoming bookings are at several cls, Cs & one C&CC site.

CMC sites are definitely far too dangerous in the current climate .

Sorry the club's future profit forecast/expectations  doesn't make some of this club's membership stupid & selfish individuals.... they are all self made.

We went to Clumber Park for our first post lockdown trip and like you got a lovely pitch opposite the facilities block (ladies end) we like you were horrified to see people going in without face masks not using the sanitizer and not using the easy to follow band system!  Most it has to be said were younger people often with children in tow.  I think far too many people are thinking "I'm young enough not to be too bad if I get it"  Unfortunately they have no regard whatsoever for the older generation or those of us who have series concerns that if we were to catch it the outcome could be fatal.

We have tried a CL for the first time and were so impressed that we are away again tomorrow to try another one.  I think for us this will be our future, avoiding the bigger sites and avoiding the facilities blocks as much as possible 

Fingers crossed for a brighter future but I fear more lockdowns if people don't act responsibly

We are currently on large private site with a mix of most types of camping units from small modest tents to motor gin palaces and all age groups.  The facility blocks, sans showers, are open, as are the dish and clothes washing areas, also a large and well stocked shop.  So far everyone I have seen and met has almost regiously stuck to the guidance especially the younger ones when around the not so young.  I'm very impressed.  😷

I agree with Mikey, income before safety. Was it really necessary to open the facility blocks, would it have really made that much difference to occupancy? The C&CC didn't and haven't yet opened their facilities, saving their site managers work and hassle and they don't seemed to have suffered that much as a result. Folk were still using their sites along with toilet tents if that was necessary.

Totally agree with you and one of many reasons I wouldn't go near a CAMC site at the moment, nor a pub or restaurant or indeed anywhere there's crowds. People do not give a monkeys anymore about others. The "I'm alright Jack" brigade moved into Club sites some years back (They can't even be bothered to reduce their speeds on sites either) and as long as they get their own way, everything is fine in their world. Following guidelines however, that's a different story! Selfish. Pure selfishness. The Indian strain will probably put us back in another lockdown anyway.
