Lack of rules

young thomas

"We are not over fond of poorly supervised children and pegged out unsupervised dogs either. Then there are the speed merchants unable to judge a sensible driving speed around youngsters and other people"

not far off being in most people's top three TTDA.

didnt realise it was ok to mention the C and D words in open forum (special threads only?) there are some who would think this very poor form.

however, the S word is a good one to mention all the time.....folk need constant reminding its not a race track.

My top 3 are incommunicative pensioners, the sound of TV soap operas wafting towards me, and pegs.

Don't misinterpret me at all, I like to see and hear children enjoying themselves, spent 25 years devising holiday activities for them, but the tiny minority of bad parents, bad dog owners (usually the same combination) can make or break a holiday, so we don't risk it any more than we have too nowadays. Not limited to Club Sites of course either, we choose our sites with the greatest of care. We occasionally holiday with family children, always a delight.

Some folks need a lot of guidance to get the best out of a holiday, others don't, it's just another lifestyle choice. Like HD, when on holiday we don't do rules, but we do choose respectful standards. Respect others as you hope to be respected yourselves.

 "..if there is a section reserved for dogs avoid that too. It works for us. "

 

Unless it's got the best views though, eh, David?

Lots of shops have advisory notices for parents regarding children. Usually places such as B&Q, where there might be lifting equipment around. 

I regard this below as one of the saddest signs I have ever seen. (Note the bit at the bottom about supervising children). It was erected after a child died, and after countless rescues from the sea on this particular bit of coast. A truly sad reminder.

The reason for the 3 metres between awnings or car to awning is that the awning is constructed of different materials than a caravan or motorhome. We follow the guidance from the British Research Establishment on this and we work closely with Surrey Fire and Rescue to manage fire safety on our sites and implement their recommendations where necessary.

We have rules on site because we need to keep all of our members safe and comfortable. Our aim is to enable our members an enjoyable experience on site and to encourage our members to be respectful of each other. The ‘rules’ are applied consistently across the network so that we can be effective in how we manage and run our network, and that members who regularly use sites know what to expect.

I hope this helps address any concerns and thank you for your feedback.

I will now close this discussion because it got very argumentative at times, despite our previous advice on posting, and we also hope we have explained why we have the rules in place. Thanks to those who contributed constructively and we ask that members do abide by the guidelines in the future.
