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.

It seems there are now  several Hotspots of the Indian variant in England 

Andy Burnham has been on TV this morning and stated that infections  have now doubled in the last week in his area of the north west,

Which seems is following what the Kent variant did

It’s the very people not adhering to common sense rules that are beginning to knock us back to restrictions from weeks/months ago. The few(as in spreading the Indian variant) are quickly spoiling it for the many☹️. Compass has it right👍🏻

Compass isn't alone either as I see someone else has written in Stories about similar lax behaviour at the Forfar site.

Lets face it it would have been safer if the facilitiy blocks had been kept closed even if folk had kept to the rules which is why us and others prefered to use our own. Opening them relied heavilly on a efficient cleaning regime and policing, the latter almost impossible.

I suppose it would be safer if we stayed in lockdown. However, that’s just not possible, it’s necessary for a lot of reasons to start a move back to normality. It does rely on people being sensible and following what rules there are, but unfortunately there are those who will always abuse protocols. The further unlocking of this Monday will produce further ways to abuse the system, as folk are free to mix indoors within strict limits, which are likely to be ignored by some. Hopefully the vaccine combined with perhaps local controls can get on top of this Indian variant. Another lockdown would be catastrophic for many businesses that have just hung on, particularly as we are approaching peak time for the leisure industry.

Are some of you worrying just a  tiny bit about caravan site toilets being open?  The local supermarket has toilets open, so does the garden centre,  some of the public toilets in town are open too, as are the ones at the big hospital in Plymouth. And none of them have rubber bands on hooks at the door.

There you go campers it's official you can fill yer boots using your chosen site's facilities to the maximum, but the club still expects a certain amount of personal responsibility from all the membership for their own safety & wellbeing & of others that follow on from you , from what I've seen lately at the Carsington waters site I won't be holding my breath that it's that simple for some. 

The vaccine for selfishness & stupidity may well be need for the future. 

Rant over.....Darling boy 😉😁😘

Following the latest Welsh Administration announcement, from Monday 17 May we’re delighted to be able to reopen all toilets and shared washing and cleaning facilities (including showers) at Club campsites which have them (operating in line with government guidelines and at reduced capacity).


The use of shared facilities


Our covid secure protocols mean we can operate our shared facilities with carefully managed social distancing measures in place to minimise household mixing. However, we would still strongly recommend the use of your own facilities wherever possible, if you are able to do so, as this will greatly reduce the risk of transmission. We would like to thank you for your understanding and patience in supporting the delivery of our Covid Secure Commitment.

Think all of the idiots are on Durham Grange this week. Bands not hung up on entry then if they are, bands not taken down on exit. Both male and female to blame. 
Could all members read instructions as it benefits the safety of all members. 

Stay safe everyone.

Sorry forgot to mention the members who pick up a band and take it in with them and those that do the procedure in reverse and on entry take down a hanging band and on exit hang it back on a peg.
