We have stayed at Hawes CC site many times over the past 12+years and have attended many of their New year's Eve parties. Historically the site has always been full for New Year and needed 2 sets of Wardens to function correctly at this and other busy periods. Many families return year after year to take part in and enjoy the New Year's Eve parties put on by all 4 Wardens and other helpers. 2015 was the year the Club decided that the site would operate with just a single couple during the period early November until early January. It would have been unfair, indeed impossible for a single set of wardens to put on a New Year's Eve party single-handedly. Why wasn't a message put on the website and/or sent to Members who had made bookings, to the effect that there would be NO New Year's Eve party in 2015?? The overall appearance of the site is currently appalling e.g. 1) fallen leaves just left where they fell or were blown to and this will have a detrimental effect on the grass in 2016 and beyond.; 2) drains not cleaned resulting in a large expanse of surface water on the driveway. None of this can be blamed on the Winter Wardens who worked tirelessly whilst they were in charge, despite the awful weather and the many other problems which they inherited and had to deal with. The Club's "charging policy" needs to be drastically amended because otherwise Members will "vote with their feet (caravans & motorhomes)". I wonder if the Club will read and/or take heed of what Members say in their reviews on the sites they visit?
