    I'd agree with that unless of course circumstances allow that slightly later legitimate departure as per rule 15!Wink

    Some do, op, but I think that the C&CC have boards showing what's about on most of their sites that we have visited.

    Smile and be friendly when people arrive after a long journey. Put up a notice in the shower block asking users to leave the loos as they would wish to find them and please mop the shower after use, especially if it is muddy. Ask everyone to leave by 12,
    in order that there is a choice of pitches for people arriving.

    I can't think of anything I'd do as a warden on a CC site because I wouldn't be a warden on a CC site. I applaud those that do it because I couldn't cope with the whining

    Relax all the rules that have blossomed. Arrive any time, leave late on Sundays so the weekenders can have a full day. Stop the banal musc in the toilet blocks.Remove everyone with noisy, pooping dogs.

    I would be polite and friendly at all times Happy and if you arrived before the stated time of noon i would politely tell you to go away
    and come back at the correct time.I would rigidly enforce the speed limit on site with one warning and one only or you would be politely asked to go home early. Oh andI would let the fish and chip van in every night Wink

    Remember the warden is,nt always right but he,s always the warden Surprised

    happy hols,

    can't remember exactly which site it was, (think it might have been Minehead), where there was a list posted outside the facilities block of what wildlife could be seen. I'm sure there must be other sites that do this

    I would have to write an essay - the gulf is so great.

    it's a site with 100 pitches. Routine grass cutting and flower watering is done by a grounds maintenance man, and toilet block cleaning (three times a day) is done by a cleaner. So the whole focus of the site managers is customer facing customer service. They are based in a large, open plan office, reception area, shop, information centre and big screen TV area. Visitors are in and out all day long for something like ten hours a day, asking for advice, ordering bread and croissants, and asking questions. And the managers always say yes rather than no. They are not there to impose rules. 

    I am glad Simon Knight liked it as much as we did. Others should pop over on the ferry from Plymouth and go with an open mind and have a look at a different way to run a site.
