Well we are very lucky we have received confirmation that we can stay on site  with others for the forceable future πŸ˜“(site now on lockdown)

obviously we are paying our pitch fees , but of course with Easter looming and higher rates for what would be high season (school holidays) plus Easter bank holiday, appear to be cancelled by all and sundry, government/churches , what’s your opinion on the cc charging us full holiday rates , pitch fees , 

do you think they should or not 

Comment from the Community Manager:

In line with government guidelines, we have agreed members that are either key workers or, with no fixed abode can remain on site. For the few members that are with us, the Club have now confirmed that pricing will continue at the rates applicable on 22nd March, the date of closure. This will continue for the period we are closed commercially, until 30th June 2020. If you are still on site and have any questions about pricing or booking during this period, please call the site office and they can discuss this with you. We wish all our members, their families and those dear, the very best during the months ahead, keep well and safe. Do keep an eye on our website for further updates.

RT was right I would get answers completely out of context and to be ready for war πŸ˜‚

yes we are all happy and very grateful as mentioned in past post , yes I also know I can ask wardens or club, but at the time it wasn’t possible , so RT encourage me to post on here , 
the NT park is out of bounds closed , nobody cares

I don’t think it’s so much that the answers are out of context, drip feeding the information isn’t aiding the flow of the thread!😁 it took a while to actually ascertain if it was a Club Site, and then a touch more coyness to find out which one. Add in some confusion with you stating 21 days on, 1 (or is it 2?) off, and then a few posts later telling us the 21 day rule is waived, and it’s a bit confusing. But glad you are all ok, say hello to RTπŸ‘

Park is nice, but as for Newport.....😱

..after all you have all the facilities and the beauty of only having 10 outfits on a 74 pitch site

The thing is, they don't have all the facilities. Unless I'm much mistaken, they only have a pitch, EHU and water. No loos, showers or laundry. Hardly merits top dollar.

No ! No drip feeding at all , 

CAMC sites you can stay 20 nights you may return in 24 hrs to same site if you wish and book for anther 20 days and so on 

some prefer to book 21 nights and return 48 hrs 

explained that many on site were full timers and when lock down happened had no full time home to go to , the club then gave grace for a few days while it was looked into I presume by there legal debt

unknown to us this was an on going problem all over the country at other CAMC sites and others , after a few days the govement  stepped in and said they could stay big relief for everyone, yes shower block open and Wardens fulfilling there duties , we have had two arrivals since so I think there’s now 12 on site , the NT house and park is closed none are complaining , most had already been in isolation for 2/3,weeks on here before the lock down anyway

If you are having to spend a night off site, surely that isn’t waiving the 21 day rule, that’s what is confusing me. Waiving it means you can stay over 21 days, which is what Club did during tanker drivers strike all those years ago. (In truth, they had no choice really, if you are out of petrol you weren’t going anywhere, but I digress....😁)

Where you spending your night/s off site?

Sorry, J&M, but TDA is right. It was initially very confusing and you had to drip feed further info so we could understand the crux of the issue. Just read the first few posts in the thread and you'll see that we were confused due to the lack of information.

Still we all got there in the end although I don’t understand the reference to 20 days when folk can stay on site for a max of 21 nights.🀷🏻‍♂️

Would also like to add , all pitch fees are being paid as normal nobody’s moaning about that either , as explained in earlier post it was a off the cuff remark about Easter /holiday pitch fees as it was published that there were to be no Easter hols this year ,

we all laughed , and nobody had an answer , I don’t think anyone has mentioned it to wardens even , but some on here took it that we were ungrateful pay up and shut up attitude
