I book and it asks me --What Time? I tick a box saying 12.00 to2.00 and I know it is 1.00pm earliest. We have no traffic and get near at 12.30. Wait in lay bye and arrive just after 1.00pm. I notice many units finishing setting awnings up etc. Hey Ho. BUT I spend the next 5 days watching people arrive as early as 11.00am and be allowed straight on.

This happened over New Year at White Water site near Stockton. Will the Club explain is it Wardens discretion, is it totally ignored, are they happy with a rule that may as well be removed.

Totally confused!

It's a very good point that you make, Bernard.

I hope the answer is that it will be reversed, common sense will prevail and the nonsense of 1pm arrivals will be consigned to history.

On all sites.

Hi Bernard in Tring

Happy to report that yes, Knaresborough when it reopens will be back to a 12.00 noon arrival time.

Hope this helps with stress levels and we'll look forward to seeing you up there in August onwards.

Kindest regards

Helen

Ms Aaron,

You are a undoubtedly a Star.

Any chance of reverting River Breamish to the 12 O'clock 'kick-off'!!!!!!! Sorry just being greedy as another 'odd' site on my itinerary.

Seriously I am very appreciative for the content and the promptness of the response.

Have a booking for September.

Bernard in Tring

Great reply, Helen!

I hope the same will apply to other sites where access isn't a problem.

Berwick and Longleat are two that spring to mind.

Hopefully heralding an even more flexible arrival (and departure) policy at sites with no access problems such as Moreton in Marsh, Broadway, Putts Corner to name 3. Any time between say 10am and 8pm. Sure to save that mad 12 o'clock rush!

It seems that in the new year 2017 , we still have the same selfish , inconsiderate , self centered members with us .

The only thing that's going to change these members attitude towards arriving early , is to be sent packing every time , on every site & by every warden .

I have seen it happen at Chatsworth , Cheddar & Sandringham but it needs to be enforced everywhere..........👍

Compass, You do seem to have a strange attitude towards people on holiday, and towards their enjoyment, leisure, freedom and general happiness. "Send them packing" , you say. Make them do as you tell them. Toe the line. Do as you are told. I wonder how long a private business would survive with that sort of attitude towards its customers? They would leave in droves.
