Just to say Well Done to our wardens.

Would agree to a certain extent Ken, but there are many exceptional wardens. We arrived at one site to find someone had graffitied the back of our van during our journey. The warden not only found something to help clean it off but also helped. On another
occasion, one of our windows sprung a leak and, as we were fixing it, the warden came across to ask if  we had all the necessary tools we needed as he might be able to lend us something. Just that little bit extra that makes a stay at a site better

if we've experienced these 'above and beyond' actions, how many more might there be?

SteveL - I agree that this sort of 'added value' behaviour by wardens (or anyone else) is worthy of praise. Well done to those wardens you mentioned.

As others have said though, our only contact with wardens is usually at check in and sometimes knocking around the site. We see the work they do in the toilet blocks, the bins and (sometimes) when the grass and hedges get cut.

But surely this is just 'doing the job'?

>>Just as we don't thank our bin men, the person taking our money at the supermarket till<< or whoever it is that cuts the grass verges now, why would we give a general 'thank you' and 'well done'
to all wardens?

Surely this just detracts from those wardens who go the extra mile, as opposed to those who simply 'do their job'?

Don't you?  We're usually able to go outside and bring our bin back in as soon as the binmen have emptied it and we say thank you to them for emptying it.  We also say thank you to the checkout operator at the supermarket as she hands us our receipt. Anything
to make somebody feel a little more appreciated is surely a nice thing to do.  

I often thank suppermarket staff, binmen and our postman. Nice folk

You go on a web site and start a thread to thank them?

Or (like we all do) just say thank you at the time?

but earlier you posted:

Just as we don't thank our bin men, the person taking our money at the supermarket till

so which is it?

i would imagin he meant 'in the same manner as we are doing here' ....ie, via a forum.

i say thank you to anyone who helps me, paid or unpaid, but i wouldnt dream of starting a thread to thank binmen, wardens or anyone else...i think the personal approach says far more

i am on very good terms with our postman, he even has a MH and we chew the cud regularly...even in Lidl this very afternoon....

i just say 'cheers, Brian'....he know i appreciate him....open a forum thread, no...

well I am sure that Ian can argue his own case BB, but nice to know he has a wingman

Back on topic, most, if not all, wardens do a fantastic job, the standard of club sites is well known even outside the club, how many times have you read 'up to caravan club site standards' when reading a review,  it is a shame that when someone comes on
here to say thank you, that thank you is questioned. . 

 "club site standards" obviously means something different to me than it does you. To me it conjures up: manicured grass, well maintained but minimal facilities, cramped pitching and uninspiring layouts (mostly) and I wont even mention price.

I am not the one using the quote 'club site standards' it is often used when reviewing non club sites, so it must mean something to someone?
