Trialling a new way to pitch

We are probably wasting our time doing this review, because the Club management have already made their mind up. We recently stay at Broadway which has been for us a regular visit over numerous years. When we arrived, we were presented with a leaflet depicting a new multiway of pitching. So off we go to find a serviced pitch. There was only one left, which had a couple of overhanging silver birch trees within a hedge to one side. So we had no alternative to parking, other than the normal way (car, caravan and awning) method, as the trees were continually shedding seeds, which would enter our van through the skylights. That was fine for that day, as the campervan next to us on our awning side had also parked in the middle of the pitch. Unfortunately, the next day they left and a caravan turns up and park directly on the edge of the grass verge, which in itself doesn’t contravene any fire regulations, but this did have a major effect on our stay for the next seven days. Given, that this period included the hottest day of the year, we would have spent a lot more time in our awning, especially when having an evening meal. We felt that our space had been invaded with a van that close to us and therefore forced us to have our meals within our caravan. This spoiled the trip, and if we had been given prior warning of the change we would of thought twice about staying. Why can’t the Club just leave things alone? There is nothing wrong with the current way we are pitching. It provides a defined way to pitch, which has served us well over the past years. Doesn’t the current management team think that when the Broadway site and others were first laid out they didn’t consider on how pitches should be set out to give members the maximum respect/privacy they could afford? For example, pitches opposite each other across a road are staggered, so when you open your front blinds of a morning you don’t look directly into the van opposite. We hope that common sense prevails, and you do not adopt this pitching method.
