Wardens in hiding

I'd always assumed that too - I'm sure I've seen appeals for volunteers in return for a free pitch so it would seem strange if full time wardens were expected to pay.
BTW, I still can find that post attributed to Corners, K. Could you help out?

Relaxing on-site rules is what this thread is discussing, I'm sure you will agree.

There is no "relaxing" of on site rules according to my conversations with on site staff ,only arrival /departure times,and the site staff do not pay site fees while working their contracts,but of course they mostly have to supply their accomodation (with
no tax relief that applys to builders/m/way workers) except on a few all year sites0 -
Ah yes, K, just spotted it. Corners was repeating what I believe Rochelle had forwarded from HO regarding leaving times - "at quieter times, site staff are asked to relax the rule and let visitors stay on site at no extra charge until 4.00 pm".
So nothing to do with relaxing rules in general, just a clarification of the infamous rule 15.
Not like you to quote things so blatantly out of context, K!

Write your comments here...No mate, I was referring to the post from Corners about a rule being relaxed - ( see previous page ) I suspect if head office is telling Wardens to relax one rule that would not be the only one and it gives tremendous credence to those wardens who told yourself what they had been instructed to do by someone from head office.
There is no smoke without fire. !!!!!

I'm quite annoyed about this K, you were passing this quote which was from Rochelle and was in my post as I had pressed the quote button
as from me.0 -

once again you are being disingenous. You cannot start using things which are reposted using the quote button as coming from that poster. That is simply being dishonest and amounts to being a troll. It is a shame that you have to resort to such tactics

If that 'relaxation' of the rules (when circumstances allow) is documented and part of the rules themselves then that is fine in my opinion. Afterall, we all should have read these when joining the club and in effect have signed up to them.

Come to think of it, it's not so very long ago that some folk were comparing CC sites with prison camps and moaning about all the rules. So IF there's been any relaxation, maybe it's a sign that the club has listened to member's comments!

I think that if you spoke to the wardens ,you would find that there is a shorted of trained site staff ,new wardens on their first site sometimes can't hack it and leave the network altogether either because they do not get on with other wardens on site
or the general public (us) or more likely that the club has changed their terms of employment i.e. more work or lower travel allowances when travelling from home to site ,also don't forget that they have to provide at their cost site accommodation the club
do not contribute to this it has to come out of the minimum wage etcWrite your comments here...
Evening All,
Well, this thread is a bit more entertaining than Saturday night telly so I'll come in. I've quoted the above post because it's pretty much all wrong. Yes we provide our own accomodation but that's it. I don't pay a pitch fee and I'm not on the minimum wage.
Moving on, I'll try and be factual for those that like to pick at words and misquote. It's been mentioned that two wardens in the southwest have spoken about relaxed rules etc and it came direct from the head of sites. I too work in the south west and I'd
like to clarify a few points. We may have been asked to use our discretion on occasion to allow an arrival before midday if the site is not busy, and of course to allow a departure of up to four pm if also not busy, nothing more, nothing less. No relaxing
of any rules or bye laws that some speculators on here claim.I'll now sit back and wait for the ianh and kennine show!!

Thanks for that JK! Good to hear a definitive answer!
I think we can safely put this thread to bed now!
Don't think that we will hear the last of it, though, unfortunately.

Hey sometimes facts can be a little boring to some on here. How many threads do you see that go on forever that are based on assumption, speculation and rumour?
I'm off duty now so I can be entertained on here with a nice glass of red

Write your comments here...Correct ---. So can the warden ( only one in the vast ranks of warden staff so possibly not representative of the on site staff as a whole) tell us why so many members feel that the on site rules are not being enforced as they used to be, prompting this thread and others ????.

So that's two wardens each with differing views on the situation........one who has left the CC and is free to speak their mind and another who is still employed by the CC and.......errrrr.......isn't.
Interesting.
Sorry Ian, but the one who's left (I'm assuming you mean J&J) has said nothing at all on the subject of rules - simply that they've left. Think you're going to have to accept defeat on this one - go on, give in graciously!

I don't actually think it's that many is it, K? Just the usual "on forum moaners"!
Think you're also going to have to give in graciously on this one - go on, do it before Ian!

Write your comments here... Very interesting indeed sir. Staff members have to toe the company line so its completely understandable.

But Moulesy, J&J said that they left because there weren't enough resources to maintain standards on site.......I (and many others) have witnesssed that fall in standards.......struggling to see where there is some sort of 'defeat' to admit to??
