Amenity blocks closed until 17th May

Just received this from the CAMC.

The question is answered.😀

Club campsites in England - Based on the latest Government guidance, we are unfortunately unable to open our toilets or showers and other indoor shared facilities (excluding receptions) when our Club campsites in England reopen on 12 April. The provisional date for reopening these facilities is currently 17 May 2021, however this will be dependent on Government guidance. Service points and waste disposal facilities will be available and open for use, operated in line with Government guidelines.

I accept it. I am not exactly whining about it. It is what it is. I just happen to think it makes little sense considering what similar facilities can open elsewhere.

But we are where we are.

Where are similar allowed to open?

Ps i do note that the email states on the 12th April arrivals on club sites will be accepted from 0900 hrs

Just received this email from Fakenham racecourse, regarding our booking for late April.

Site re-opening
We very much look forward to opening the Fakenham Racecourse Caravan, Motorhome & Camping Site from Monday 12th April 2021, when a warm welcome will await you.
The latest Government protocol does allow for our communal shower and toilet blocks to be open for guests to use from 12th April, although we strongly recommend you use your on-board facilities. However, knowing that you will have access to the on-site ablutions will hopefully make your stay more comfortable. Guests will have to stay within their family bubble whilst staying on-site and socialising between units will not be allowed. Unfortunately, we shall not be able to accommodate tents until at least 17th May 2021.

We have just had our email and how many tenters have their own facilities as we had a toilet and toilet tent many years ago when we did camping but not a shower.

I just asked via the chat, if the new advice from the government that has prompted the Club statement regarding toilets can be published so members can read it for themselves.

I was given a link to the original government website in response, detailing information that has been unchanged for weeks.
I then pointed out that the Club website has said they have been waiting for “further clarification “ for several weeks , so they must have had some new guidance in the last 24 hours and could we see it?

I was then told to email enquiries@camc.com to request this information.
Perhaps if enough of us ask ,we maybe able to see the new guidance which appears to have clarified what was a very unclear situation?

Why inundate the club with requests for info that will change nothing?

That's pointless and rather petty.

I think when the "route out" of the latest lockdown was publised by HMG the club were hoping that they may change the instruction hence "waiting clarification" but nothing has changed , so the statement from the club has just reiterated what HMG first implimented,there is nothing new, 

Not sure what Fakenham racecourse are advisng?"

The email we have received today from Fakenham Racecourse camp site states that their amenity blocks will be open, but they are recommending that people use their own facilities.

I can only assume that because they are primarily a racecourse, with the campsite a secondary facility, different rules apply.

As always, I could be very wrong 😉🙂

I had a look and they're not allowing washing up...seems a bit odd. Carnon Downs have got somebody on duty to clean the showers after every single use...what a task to undertake!
