Storage and virus

Access to Storage Areas - A Plea

I’d like to thank all who responded to my earlier posting, possibly on another thread as this subject moves around.  Some share my anger at the refusal of the CAMC to allow members to attend their units.  Others are surprised that arrangements can’t be made to allow access.  This is despite the ability of some mh owners to visit their units which aren’t kept on Club sites. Seemingly there is nothing unlawful in being given access. 

To date, CAMC refuses to open storage areas on two grounds.  Firstly, only essential travel was lawful, which no longer applies. Secondly, because site staff are furloughed and unavailable. 

There seems to be a third reason why the CAMC refuses access to storage areas.  This is because they are accessible only by first entering campsites.  However, in those places where essential workers and others are accommodated and there is storage, then those sites are not closed.  They can be open only with the use of employed wardens and not those who are furloughed.  The storage of mh and caravans on unsupervised sites where there are people staying is not what customers pay for and is inappropriate.  The duties of wardens could be amended to support access to storage areas.

Members wishing to visit their units are not doing so for the purpose of staying there. They’re not undermining the Government’s policy. We simply need to gain access through sites which, as I’ve shown, aren’t closed anyway. 

So, in summary, the position of the CAMC is purely their own.  It is not justified by anything other than our club’s executive decision makers.  As a membership organisation, while operating at all times lawfully, the Club should support and not frustrate its membership. May I urge others to express  their concern to the CAMC.  Thank you.

I'm sure storage will be opened up in due course, when it is the right time according to the governments advice and direction. It is a question of eradicating as much risk to all as possible and practicable whilst following the guidance we have to adhere to, mixed and confusing as much of this has been.

Likewise, I'm sure sites will eventually open too, but they may 'work' significantly differently to what we are used too. Until then, I'll take my direction from those who know far more than me and certainly are better scientifically informed. We just need to bide the time and remain calm and patient. Oh, and alert!

Reverse over the gravel, park to the peg, save the CAMC

The storage facility that I use is fully open. I have been over to the van last week and I am going again next week to do a couple of jobs. The van is being cleaned at the end of May. After that I will pop over to recheck the tyre pressures etc as the club sites start to open during July.

There is storage available at my local club site but it is very expensive compared to my current storage provider (Gold Standard) who also allows entry at any time of the night by prior arrangement.
