Well we are very lucky we have received confirmation that we can stay on site  with others for the forceable future 😓(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.

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 for confusion there ,

Ascthe Lock down rule came in-force a few days before some was due to leave the site for 24/48hrs and all other sites now closed they would have nowhere to go ,

while the legal issues were sorted the club waived as full timers call it the 20/21 day rule , and I can ensure you there were some tears of relief .

So, a bit off topic, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know about Ruby Tuesday and OH. Are they still on site? Are they ok? smile

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.🤷🏻‍♂️

If you book 20 night you can return in 24 hrs 

most prefer this , as I believe if they don’t book another site they pitch on friends drives for a night so off at 12 back on next day at 12 

if you book 21 nights you cannot return for 48hrs

Yes correct , in lots of ways , nobody has said they won’t pay and nobody has said they will start a fuss , and if you are not using your van for some months suspend your insurance for awhile.

Not sensible to do that with a caravan, what if someone steals it, or sets it on fire?

Would you suspend insurance on your MH if you were not using it?

I don’t think now is the right time to debate the rights and wrongs of full time motorhomeing , nobody could have foreseen an event such as we now have , it time to keep everyone as safe as possible ,even it it means a few rules have to be suspended and letting these members stay on site , at least they are in one place , yes , it’s easy to say “I would have done this or that” ,but this is now and we can’t change it

I think although the club have given this group sanctuary? as on several other sites i am lead to believe,   they do not have the  facility of the toilet/showers/block ,  which is as on other sites doing the same ,   so are all under "the duty of care" by the club ,are on big no toilets CLs with the add security of site staff 24/7,
