A Tale of 3 sites
Been Carvanning since I was a toddler, 77 now,
We go away for months at a time in our Campervan
Present membership started in 2004 But have been a member before.
Not happy with the present Regime running the Club.
1st site Borrowdale lovely Wardens (note NOT Site Managers) no facilties but glorious location well stocked site shop Milk Bread ,Eggs everything you might need for your stay plus of course Calor gas available.NO WiFi but that was the decision of the present Regime scrappingAir Angel BEFORE having their replacement in place...a Crazy executive decision when everythingIs being forced online.???
2nd Site New England Bay Dumfries and Galloway Again no WiFi AND new this year NO SITE SHOP for Milk,Bread Eggs or kiddies ice creams And NO CALOR GAS. NEAREST SHOP 5 miles away!
Halfway through holiday half of the Toilet facilities are closed...........to save money ! We are told
As we trek 200 extra yards to the facilties thar ARE open. Place is still beautiful as ever but get the feeling that Members have become a necessary evil, rather than the very reason for the Clubs existence??? Am I wrong ?
3rd Site Lady Margaret's Park Chirk after rebuild of the toilet block . AGAIN no site shop of any description NO Milk, no Bread, no newspapers no ice creams for the kiddies (although there is a new play park)! Large dog exercise field/rally field is closed and locked. NO WIFI and silly 'fast trak' site entry which causes confusion and resentment. No Calor gas.
In Short a sorry tale of area Manager incompetence at both areas and very user unfriendly Regime at recently stayed at sites
Exception is Borrowdale which is a beacon of hope in the chaos of other so called 'beacon' Club sites.
