Queueing at Chatsworth
Comments
-
The problem at Chatsworth and a few other sites is access so some rules are needed but they are not made clear enough on the site details to me. Where there is no problem with access I cannot see a problem with people arriving any time after nine but I would make a small charge for this up to midday.

What on earth is the issue? Checking the earliest arrival time for the site we are about to visit should leave us folk in no quandary at all. Problem sorted!
Now if folk want to suggest a possible changing of the working practices of a site or the club then that is a totally different thing, not a reason to tip up earlier than the current published times and then protest mind! I'd bet such protestation are met with the contempt they deserve!

There is not a rigid arrival time. You can arrive anytime between the earliest arrival time, ( on most sites this is 12.00 noon) and late afternoon. That gives a good few hours in which people can arrive, get set up and not cause any problems. (Nothing rigid about it.)
The "Earliest arrival" time stated on the site details is sensible. It allows those leaving the site up to 12.00 noon, a clear exit from the site.

Agreed too! For those that advocate that seemless arrival/departure I ask how would that work? Surely you couldn't have 24hr comings and goings. Surely you would still have an earliest opening/arrival time, wouldn't that just bring with it exactly what occasional happens now, a queue? Aren't we Brits praised for our queuing habits!

A pre-booked pitch on the site meant we had a pitch number and a particular pitch. I can't remember the number of pitches, quite a few, plus tents and a couple of pods. We've used this system several times.
edit . Just checked, there are 80 pitches.

Sounds like they had a site specific system then where the managers manage the site accordingly. That's good, but I'd bet it wouldn't suit all sites and all members in our club! Fancy being disturbed at potentially any hour in 24hrs, fancy not fancying the allocated pitch you have been allocated. Good that we have variety mind available to us. Just happen to like the arrangements we currently enjoy!

That I'm not convinced of, brue! It's appears to run to maximise the potential uptake and the local circumstances, maybe not matching the needs of all customers! Good commercial practise maybe but possibly not pleasing everyone all the time! I guess that system is yet to realised if that is at all possible

No not at all, all I'm advocating is considering all and looking at the whole picture. Some of us, including me, are not always good at that overview when we have our own interests at heart. I do however try my best! Don't forget that many of these sites quoted are family run by family members for 'pin' money. Penny pinching maybe?

Having given up Club sites a few years ago, I have just been thinking through the last 50 sites we went to - of all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of access, but no queues at any of them, no 12 o clock rush, and no dash for the best pitch. So why does it happen at Club sites?

Where did this delusion that all French sites are run by family members for slave wages come from?
I would imagine that the sub-contractors who clean the toilets, cut the grass / hedges, maintain the site, operate the restaurant.......etc. are probably better paid than CC wardens.
This is just a weak argument for over-working / under-paying site staff by the CC.
