Given the fact that the flooding in the area of Chatsworth has been so much in the news. I would have thought it might warrant a notice on the site page re the status of the site. Surely that's what the internet is for, the ability to quickly update and keep folk informed. 🐖🐖🐖 🛫Perhaps they have done something on Face Book ( I don't use that so wouldn't know)

That's what I don't understand Steve, not a word from the "Club" on what is happening on one of their sites.
Still, it's the weekend now so don't expect anything till Monday anyway.
I would expect the poor wardens to be rushed off their feet answering the phone from folks trying to find out if they are open or closed.

Posted on 08/11/2019 16:04 by cyberyachtAre you suggesting the wardens may have an altitude problem?

surely people would just stay away until the environment agency gives an all clear for the area, or is that being over presumptuous, after all it is not just the club site that is in a yellow warning area, so surely people with any sense would stay clear at least for a few days, would be stupid to clog up the area with caravans/mh's.

Totally agree with poor communication from the club.
I posted his problem, albeit at nearly 9pm, but it was only hearsay. Surely the club would have known the severity of the problem long before that and should have clarified the situation. Seems as though all the work was done by the wardens.

I am still concerned about how this incident has been handled. I live in Derby and the county was awash last night. Everything appears to have been left to the wardens. Why were people evacuated late into the evening with no provision for alternative accommodation? Poolsbrook would not have been an option as Chesterfield was flooded. The A6 was flooded in several places and subsequently closed. The people who beat the closures last night were very lucky. I would not have liked to tow a caravan in last nights weather anywhere at that time of night and in those weather conditions. Unfortunately Chatsworth is quite remote, but could some temporary accommodation have been found on a school playground, village hall carpark or supermarket car park?
Come on club. Please don't leave it all to the wardens.
