Disappointing

I have used this site for six years now (since buying a caravan and joining the club).usually at least twice per year. Have just returned and feel a few things really do need to be addressed. We stayed on service pitch 83, the waste drain is either level or just above the caravan waste level, simply put, the waste will not drain away sufficiently. It’s quite annoying when paying extra for these facilities and having to go outside and lift the waste pipe to drain the water away. Secondly, it is noticeable that parents are not in control of their children. For those that haven’t been to this site, it it’s quite hilly, it’s a very nice way for kids to hurtle down on bikes at ridiculous speeds (forget 5mph speed limits) without holding onto handlebars. Whilst we were there, in one instance my wife called me from the shower block because there were a few girls basically trashing the place. Throwing water around etc. To be very fair I contacted the wardens who were off duty and were there in an instant to clear things up. The next evening the same thing was going on in the men’s block. Youths throwing water all around, wiping soap all over the mirrors a throwing the contents of the bin all over the floor. I confronted those involved only to be met with the usual lip and abuse. I actually cleared the mess up, warden off duty but that was my decision. This now seems to be a continuing theme at putts during school holidays. Unfortunately this falls back to the club but, the service blocks do need to be more secure, and policed in the evening. They are a magnet for social miscreants, whilst parents have a nice time of their own. My advice, if you are looking for a quiet time in August forget putts corner. Wardens great, area fantastic, used to be our favourite site.

So sorry to hear about your problems,  why some parents think it is OK to abandon looking after their offspring and think the wardens should do the babysitting is beyond me. It is not just in the caravan world but rife through all parts of the community ie schools where children who want to study cannot because of the badly behaved pupils.  Respect and discipline have all but disappeared with the modern generation and what the next generation will be like leaves us cold. We do not holiday the 6 weeks of the school holidays unless at an adult site.  Shame because the few always spoil it for the rest of us.  Do go to PC again out of school hols or weekends as you know it is usually a lovely site.

We are on a site wher the same sort of problem was encountered and also "parents?"not supervising their children and last week ome parents complained that the facilties block was not accessible to their young children as the keypad locks were to high for them to reach which was inconvenient when they had to go with them to open the dooryell,at one point the doors were hooked open by someone which was "cured"by the site staff removing the loop which the hook  went intosurprised

Agree with the parenting looking after their kids. I've just returned from Putts Corner having had a great time with my two young grandchildren. All I would say is they enjoyed the small park and made new friends but at no time were they anywhere near the services blocks or would they be. On another note perhaps you may not have noticed the number of dog owners who disregard the rules allowing them to wander untethered near by their pitches. Not to mention the guy that thought it ok to pile up his dogs poo on the edge of his pitch. O for some dog free club sites.
