Steamer Quay Upgrade

If you want it fine.  

Nicely put WTG.

I'm a great fan of SP but of course not all club sites have them and so I don't use those sites.

Do I feel the club isn't catering for my needs then?

Of course not. But if I did, well the answer is obvious.

I'm still very confused (not difficult you might say!) 

Totnes has set up aire facilities @ £10 a night (and good for them) just as many on here have been calling for. At least 3 MH owners on here have said they will use it.

So why would the club provide similar facilities, maybe 400 metres away when there's not a cat in hell's chance of those same folk using it? 

As far as Steamer Quay is concerned much of this discussion is a bit academic as the decision has been made. If the occupancy rates meet what the Club expects then the decision will proved to be right. That is does not mean that some might be disappointed that the site is over spec'd for their needs. As someone mentioned upthread we have no idea of what the lease costs are for this site and perhaps having all serviced pitches was the only way to make it viable from a cost perspective? Perhaps this style of site is the blue print for others that might come in the future?

The club don’t provide a choice of grass at many of their sites either. I assume those that want that type of pitch avoid them. Whether you like it or not WTG service pitches are very popular and the club is hoping to capitalise on that demand, as any good business would.

WTG, try the Stover site. Nice setting, no facility block and no SPs to pay for. It’s not far away either.

Having seen the video of the PVC fire at Meathop Fell, there’s no way I would want to pitch on a car park for the night even with only every other bay in use (if it can be enforced). The consequences don’t bear thinking about ☹️. 

I reckon a few extra quid for more space and staff on hand with fire equipment is well worth it. What price safety?

Yes, my thoughts exactly when I watched that video.
