Service pitches
Can whoever u are, please explain why when u book and take up a service pitch on club sites, u don't use the facilities associated with a service pitch.
the amount of people who take their aqua roll to the tap - in other words do not have the hose connected to the aqua roll from the tap.
who use a waste master instead of connecting a waste pipe to the drain.
who still go to the showers for a wash/shower
who still go to the washing up facility
People who use a service pitch without using all the services associated with such a pitch, Why don't u just use a normal pitch?
U pay more for this facility and u don't use them?
The main reason for this post is - when u take up space on a service pitch and don't make use of the services - u are stopping and restricting people like myself, who do and want to use the services, from being able to book when we want to.
The amount of times we try to book up a site and are unable to because the service pitches are full.
Yes, I know u can - and have every right to book a service pitch, (the caravan clubs fault for allowing u to) if for some reason u choose to pay more for nothing and just perhaps feel u r a class above a 'standard pitch user', but all I see is selfishness
and a disregard for others.
let me know your reasons please

As above post by Bobr2112,we have in the past booked if possible a service pitch even at the extra cost, on a site that has Hills or is known to us, that normal service points can be difficult to access,from some pitches we might have to use when arriving,as we get even older and more creaky we will do it more

In my case when we were away for 2 weeks last Christmas I opted for a serviced pitch. Knees not buggered yet but arthritis in my spine and shoulder not great! Usually we only stay on a site 5 days. As it was winter and I suffer more then a serviced pitch
seemed worthwhile. No need to hook up as a stroll the length of the caravan every 5 days to top up and empty is doable.0 -
That's a rather unfortunate first post, Bikers.
Nobody needs to explain their reasons to you or anyone else. They pay for the serviced pitch - end of.
You seem to be very bitter and angry over something that is someone else's choice. Live and let live.

Totally agree with bikers. We were away this year on a big club site but with a very small number of service pitches and i knew we would not be able to book one. All the twelve days we were there there was one that wasn't hooked up to ether water and drains
and others that didn't use them on odd nights too.I suspect it's because, generaly, they're flatter or HS but it stops members like us reserving them to get the use of them.

For goodness sake, serviced pitches are booked, paid for and used to varying degrees. It's what they are for. There is no dictate to say everything must be used or hooked up. People use them in the way they want.
mbee, you must have made quite a study of the users over those 12 days.

..And if you read the other post? why need to hook up, the service that is there for how ever you want to use it
Ps a bit sad to need to check each day

Biker, it's a little odd that you berate & suggest someone using the power of choice is selfish & possibly thinking they are above the std pitch user, when you are wanting the very pitch that is incurring your wrath. Ironic

Never paid for a serviced pitch yet, but I might start now so I can 'tootle' to the tap for an aquaroll top up and empty my waste container just a few metres away
. Ah, life is good, lazy days I love it.Oh and if I do, then as I have paid good money for this, and for my own reasons, its none of anyone else's business

(the caravan clubs fault for allowing u to) book a service pitch
I really have now heard it all on CT! The club is now being criticised for allowing you (or one) to book a service pitch ? What? Really?
So what would you do if someone didn't use their service pitch as a service pitch? Ask them to move? cancel their membership?
if for some reason u choose to pay more for nothing and just perhaps feel u r a class above a 'standard pitch user', but all I see is selfishness and a disregard for others.
And this is amazing, suggesting that people book a service pitch and not use it just so they can be a class above???
Everyone is entittled to their opinions of course but is this a wind up? If not do what the rest of us have to do and book early.

Service pitch, hardstanding pitch, grass pitch
I am a service pitch I look down on hardstanding pitch
I am a hardstanding pitch, I look up to the service pitch, but look down on the grass pitch
I am a grass pitch, I know my place!

Nav, I couldn't agree more with you. Only wish I had thought of writing what you wrote before you did.

Oh dear! Another new poster (a Club member) dares to ask a question and expresses an opinion and therefore gets 'set upon' by the regulars for daring to step out of line.
The Bikers.....it is a good point that you make and it must be frustrating to see a facility being fully booked and then perhaps not used in full.
In answer to your question - some (as stated above) just like the advantage of having the services nearby. Others have said in the past that they book serviced pitches to guarantee a hardstanding (due to the CC not allowing a booking choice of grass / hardstanding).
Personally, I rarely book serviced pitches because we don't always like their location (often opposite toilet blocks, for practical reasons). Also the additional charge for them is extortionate.
Hope this helps.

Maybe they don't use their brains and have no idea how to use a fully serviced pitch with water and waste water hookup? LOL!
It does seem odd to pay the extra and then not to use the facilties.

But why should it matter 'Surfer', its there to be purchased irrespective of whether you carry a hose and 6 metres of waste pipe or just to be handy nearby. It seems to me to be a case of 'boo hoo, I want and I can't have'
I could not care less if they want to spend the extra and then not use the facilities offered as it is their money, but does illustrate a lack of something or other.

Dave, I'm afraid there are a few folk out there who believe in-choice for them personally but not others, particularly so if it is not 'pro them' they also have their teeny-tiny band of like minded cheerleaders
