Still a favourite of mine and nice to hear that some redevelopment to bring it to a higher standard is planned. The toilet block is to be renovated, some hard standings are to be reconfigured into awning pitches, and the old camping field is to be turned into serviced pitches. So all in all a good site is being made great. Unfortunately the weekend didn’t pass without problems. I am a great supporter of Health & Safety and the first issue involved the ruling of distances between vans. We chose pitch 76 a With Awning pitch. However, the peg was tight in the rear left corner. We asked at the office if this was correct and were told it was as the pitches at either side had blue pegs so we accepted that and reversed on to the peg. A few hours later a motorhome parked behind us. There was a narrow low hedge between us. He had parked so close to our van that the safe distance of 6 metres was well and truly compromised. The distance between the rear wall of each unit was nearer half that. I checked over the hedge and the motorhome was pitched correctly on the peg, which like our peg was tight into the rear corner. I went to see the warden who explained that the pitching space was correct and that if the distance diagonally corner to corner was not less than 3 metres then things were ok. My estimate was that it was a lot less than 3 metres. So the whole scenario made a mockery of the clubs safety ruling. The second problem occurred on returning to the site after very heavy and prolonged rain. Our pitch was completely under water along the offside of the van. As a result the electric cable was submerged under about 3 inches of water. I had to retrieve the electric cable and run it along the upper part of the hedge and then prop it up so it could safely reach the locker door. The cause of the problem seemed to be the grass apron between us and the next pitch. This was a lot higher than the hard standing chippings resulting in a dam like effect holding the water back. I told the warden about it as he drove past, he explained that he was just a relief warden. His response was they had never had the problem before and that he would pass on my observation to the site Warden we he returned next week. He didn’t even bother to have a look or even ask about the electrics. I would have thought a possible solution could have been to dig a trench through the grass to relieve the amount of water. The pitches involved were 76 and the one to the rear was 68
