What’s the funniest thing you have ever seen while on a Club Site? (Be nice, hopefully no one got hurt)

Ours is watching someone else painstakingly removing rabbit droppings from around the van every morning, then watching the bunnies come out again each evening......and repeat. Brush and dustpan, rubber gloves.....๐Ÿคฃ Marazion.

Not a Club site, but many years ago, on a well known commercial site (recently on TV) a caravan moving pitches with the awning still attached, four people walking along side carrying it. Also, same site, same time, a gazebo loose in strong winds, " walking" over a caravan.

Done that as well๐Ÿ˜‚ Neighbour on CL wanted to change pitch, so we all rallied round and off van and awning went. It wasn’t windy though thank goodness.

AD, that’s gross. Poor dog, ok a bit of help if it’s the occasional claggy on the waggy, but not everytime. Long haired dogs need a careful trim.....๐Ÿ˜‚

A few years ago on White House Beach site on the beach side area on the front row we saw somebody who used a broom to sweep the grass clippings off the grass area around his caravan every morning and even off the gravel area as well.

Saw a chap struggling putting his awning up,I knew he was struggling because we had said good morning to him as he was just getting the awning out and when we returned in the late afternoon it still wasn’t up,I asked him what the problem was and he said ,I have lost a pole somewhere, so we search everything in his caravan etc and couldn’t find it then I realised what had happened, he had used the pole he was missing as an extension to his tv ariel.

Funny thing we have seen is when a family arrived on site with a fairly well used new to them van. Didn't bother to level it so it was well on the slew side to side. Got out the awning, threaded it through the channel.  pegged it all down then hung the curtains up on the outside, yes they had put it up inside out. They stood back admiring their handiwork and the rest of the site was in hysterics, it seems they had just been and bought this van that day and they were off to Italy the next week end.

Second funniest thing was on a site in Devon. A couple turn up on a Saturday afternoon and put up full awning, wind breaks, pup tent. Then he proceeds to unload a load of bricks. Another hour later he has built a full size bbq with all these bricks. He lit it cooked some food and then the next day packed everything away they only stayed one night lol.

I have a feeling there could be a lot more funny incidents to report by the end of this year.๐Ÿ™‚

Definitely. There were new van owners galore at Hexham Racecourse when we stopped last year. All doing ok though, taking their time, figuring things out.
