Some time ago last year I had an idea to start up my own site, some of you came back with helpful idea's and the offer of help which I was very pleased about. Unfortunately, I can't remember which Discussion section it was on, so I am asking those people
for help now, the one's which had done the same themselves or had a site and stopped.

    I am interested in the South/West Dorset area or there about's, and to recap, I want it to be a Dog friendly site with no extra charge for them. Also a better than average site for disabled, still not sure whether to go for Adults only as I don't mind children
    but do have a dislike for the Parents who do not keep them in check.

    Probably in the CL section bazell. Go to pages at bottom of CL section, and see if anything jogs your memory, or if you can remember approximate date. Failing that, click on your own avatar, and you can trawl back through your posts. There don't seem to
    be that many, so you might be able to spot it. Might be in Dwindling CL Stock thread.

    Thanks for that Yorky, but what is my Avatar. Whilst your there, what is it you would look for on a site as I noticed you are a Motorhomer.

    Good one Ian, I want to have a Toilet Block and Showers with Disabled as well, 10amp EHU more than one water tap and the usual waste disposals. 

    Another thing I would like would be an extension to the booking office where everyone could come into and have a cup of tea or coffee and read the news papers, this way you can meet up and make new friends.

    Tea, Coffee and Papers free of course.

    You'll probably need to go the commertcial route then as a 5 van CL won't give you a realistic return on that amount of capital investment.

    Bazell, have a look at Pg 19 of the Dwindling CL Stock in the Certificated Location section. You'll find the discussion there that you are enquiring about.

    Yorky, the fella from Yorkshire, his name is too long to write and thank you for directing me in the right direction.

    Sounds like a pop group!

    Make sure showers/toilets are not mixed, and that if you have toilets and sinks in the same cubicle, have separate sinks for washing hands in the main of the blockWink
