The future

An issue of personal circumstances. I've been there but accepted i needed to take time off if I wanted to travel far. Tbh, why add stress to the working week by travelling more than an hour or so? I settled for that, otherwise too much travelling spoilt a potentially relaxing weekend. 

Think, too, if you arrive late and pitch in the LNA area, you then have to move again on Saturday morning just for one night before heading home on Sunday. What a faff!

It's probably more to do with the length of the working day for the wardens. It can't be a noise issue unless those who go out for the evening aren't allowed back. Time for an automated check-in perhaps?

We have fallen foul of the got to be onsite first night by 8pm rule. We used to book a one night stop on way down to Cornwall, but got badly held up in traffic one time (hours behind). I managed to phone Site we had booked, explaining that we were stuck, got no sympathy, so we phoned a CL who just told us to roll in when we could and pay in morning. We used that CL for the next five years, it was so lovely we often stayed a lot longer than the one night. 

In Summer, we don’t often need to be on a Site while 10pm, make the most of the daylight hours, 10 minute set up. So again, we use CLs. So flexible compared with Club. Small private Sites can be as accommodating as well sometimes.

It would be interesting to know what demand there would be for planned arrivals after 8pm. I suspect it would be fairly low. If that is the case, perhaps it could be offered as a premium service to cover the extra work required by the wardens.

Go on a weekend rally, organisers are quite used to folk rolling up and leaving late.

I think it will be low as well. Club Members tend to have getting to Site, choosing the right pitch, and spending ages setting up as a priority. We will stick with what we know to be more flexible, with no extra costs incurred. 

I seem to recall that at one time, (pre dating automatic barriers, keys or codes on loo blocks) some Sites had a system of leaving details on a board at reception for late arrivals, you posted your membership card into reception, found a pitch and paid next morning?
