July opening

MikeyA

My view is, the Club are unable to even contemplate thinking outside the box.  Consequently arrival times, corresponding queues and stress for the wardens will continue as before.

Just wonder how they will inform us. They haven't been very good at that so far unless you buy Practical Caravan or read Facebook but they've put nothing on here.

Perhaps if things do happen on the 4th then they might notify us on here the night before.

Communication by the club on virus issues has been poor to say the least

Can’t recall ever seeing a stressed Warden. (Apart from the Traveller invasion at Exeter Racecourse🤔) The stress is usually all in the queue, that gut wrenching moment when you find that the only pitch free is either by the dog walk for those who dislike dogs, the playground for those who just want peace and quiet, or that scrubby little patch that is really a short cut to the bogs.😂

Have to agree on the communication front Harry. Clubs last statement was on 11th April, saying there would be further updates in following days......perhaps they meant weeks🤔

We got that e mail too.  Cannot see anything about a reduced price if no facilities open.

Looks like it will be CLs for us if we can get away at all.

Tinwheeler

Very likely. You’ll find out one day. 😀

We live in Wales and are 2 weeks behind England even if they do open sites on the 1st or 4th July we won't be going anywhere until the 18th July then there is no point going if we can't get out of Wales 3 week holiday then is out of the question as all of August is full. Have to wait until September. One question I would like to ask is, when the sites are open and you leave to go out and about sightseeing and you want the toilet where do you go?? Do you take a porta potty

Tinwheeler

That's a huge benefit of having a MH. 👍

MikeyA

Only if you are one of the few who take it off site.

Don’t you believe it Mikey. Parking up a MH is very much a “Club” thing. Lots of folks use them daily out and about when away..

I would think they are hoping the government will provide protocols for opening facilities on sites once Boris and his crew get round to it. So why second guess and postulate about reductions? May be some are a tad premature in their assumptions!

Tinwheeler

I never leave site without it. Can't see the point in not taking full advantage of its mobility. Have engine, will travel.👍🏻

Where white van man can normally get , so can any panel van conversion

,But then the majority of MC owners it seems, want the space of a caravan ,which is not so versatile when in the motorised versions ,hence more of them tend to stay put when on sites, 

Takethedogalong

Only those that make the mistake of buying something too large JV😂 Not everyone drops the same clanger you did🤣

JVB66

what?  one Autosleeper Rhapsody panel van and an Autocruise Valentine  both shorter than what it seems are the majority seen  immobilfor the duration of their stays on sites

We have booked Sandringham from the 5th of July been booked since January,don't think it will be open, normally takes a week to reopen sites for the new season. Don't hold much hope that the club will fetch wardens back till the government, announces reopening of hospitalities, mind you they allowed certain sports out of lockdown earlier than the date that was first announced

JVB66

I think most furloughed wardens ,have been on their sites all the time and 17 sites have remained "open?" as refuges for "essential" workers and full timers so i would think those site wardens are still on contracts

JVB66

So Tinny has it wrong also!! it really stops mistakes by  reading all posts before junping to conclusions

Tinwheeler

Take no notice, TDA. it’s the same old. 🙄

JVB66

Yep jumping to conclusions even if as expected you liked the post

JollyKernow

You've said "I think" twice in that post JV. 

Just for info, we are all still on contracts, can't be furloughed without one!

I can't give any information on here as I'd like them to keep hold of my p45!!

The info I can give is, arrival time on opening day will remain as stated in the handbook. It will be a very different "new normal" to what we've been used to.

JK

JVB66

Have I ? 

But some are working not furloughed on the 17 sites

Ps as for opening times when sites have permission to open again ,that is what i would have expected as per normal arrival times 

Tinwheeler

"You've said "I think" twice in that post JV. "

Trying to prove he can, JK. 🤣🤣🤣

JVB66

But then i did not ,and if posts as said before,  are read first

Tinwheeler

You did not think?🤣🤣 

JollyKernow

I think, it's time for a brandy

Just finished reseeding my grass next to my van ready for tomorrow's rain.

Another virus that is very prevalent it seems on CT

Hope you bought the seed?

My neighbour works for one of our local dealers and is currently furloughed.

I saw him this morning and he told me he's back to work on July 4th as they've apparently been told that sites will be opening then. 

He didn't specifically mention CAMC sites. Make of that what you will.

mickysf

Nothing really to make of that at all is there! We all know very well that the 4th July is nothing more than a possible target date for opening, subject to Boris and crew giving their permission and their associated stipulations as to how to do so (¿safely?).
