Electricity in need of URGENT MAJOR upgrade - do not expect Club Standards

There are in my view two major issues the Club must address and which Members must be aware of: 1. ELECRICITY - upon arrival (After you have PAID!) you will receive a Welcome Leaflet which states in BOLD " The power supply to the site may suffer from low voltage at peak times or overloads. After 8pm tripped electrics are not classed as an emergency. Please revert to Gas or 12 volts and come to the office in the morning" In fact we arrived at 12.30 and our motorhome electrics played up from arrival - every time we switched on our low voltage kettle the fridge would cut out. The microwave did not operate properly as well. I spoke to other members who experienced similar issues. The wardens are aware of the issue but downplayed it, citing a lack of investment from the site owner. We cut our stay short and left after only one night. On arrival at Hawes Club site our electrics operated normally. 2. The entrance to the site is down a steep narrow and blind bend to the reception. This in our opinion needs a simple traffic light control (Like Bunree) to avoid a MAJOR incident. Of course you must leave early to avoid arrivals but this does not prevent cars from leaving the site in the afternoon and coming head on with arrivals - very very dangerous.

Did you ask to try another pitch / bollard because we are here now and have had no issue with electric supply......we have heating on at times with the microwave with no issues. In my opinion there is a trend to have more electricity dependable appliances in outfits/awnings thus putting a strain on supplies - the 8pm time allows the wardens some deserved downtime!

Regarding the entrance there is a mirror on the bend where you can see up and down the hill with towing vehicles having priority.....in the 30 years we’ve been coming here I’ve not heard of any problems. 

You may have just been unlucky on your visit.
