First Timer love the peace and quiet

First time at a Club site and what an impression, if all Club sites are as well maintained and presented as this I look forward to a lot of visits. On arrival a lovely lady greeted me and felt almost embarrassed to ask me for my Membership Card (which I had left in the van). She explained the available pitches by highlighting them on a very clear map, toilet drop point and Motorhome Service Point was also pointed out. The lady mentioned something about water that I missed but soon understood as there is no water on the pitches. So I returned to the Motorhome service point to top up the tank. The only gripe I have with the whole experience was that the water flow from this tap was so slow! But hey, you only do it once. Reading the reviews I see someone got confused about the pitch marker and parking. This was explained to me as rear offisde corner OR front near side corner for continental vans. This was explained as the 'passenger' corner. Now I know some continental vans are right hand drive but the mischief in me couldn't help wondering if some foreign person whose grasp of English wasn't great would wonder how to get his passenger side to the peg. Just me being silly. (smiley emoji here). One thing I did miss was the key for the facilities. A Warden came to my pitch to advise that the shop would close at 5 so if I wanted my key I had better go now. He explained they normally wait awhile so that we could set up etc. Very kind of him to seek me out and out me right I thought. A site team on the ball there. Having got my key, as my head hit the pillow a sudden thought? Why do they lock the facilites. Being close to the town are they struck by vandalism? Did we need to lock everything away for fear of it disappearing overnight? Is the need to lock facilities the norm for Club sites I wondered. Anyway such fears receded as the land of nod took precedence. That's me being security concious. The next day was exactly what I wished for, peace and quiet. After busy work schedules a few days away in such tranquil settings is exactly what the Doctor ordered. Being close to the main road the occasional siren could be heard but nothing intrusive. In my review tick boxes I have given it a one for families. I saw no facilites for children such as a play ground or field they could let of steam and make noise, such as they do when excited and enjoying life. I hope this is not taken as a detriment to the overall site which was excellent. The blessed child things are entitled to life as much as us oldies! (second smilie emoji here) One final note on the pitch peg. Yes I liked it, it was clear and concise where your pitch was. I have been to many overcrowded sites where guy ropes and tent pegs intermingle as trip hazards for unwary. Yes, I am a fan of pitch pegs. I will return to Minehead at some point in the future, but first work, after which, which club site next?
