Just recently we went to Abbey Wood site Just prior to that we were in Tredegar House Apart from that we have had quite a few other holidays away Needless to say we're retired Before or during any of our breaks it's good to see what other people say about a particular site and most of the time I wonder if we are staying in the same place Some people can't be satisfied and love to write a bad review I can't help feeling that if a toilet is left dirty it's your fellow campers who left it that way Litter is down to club members Dog mess and dogs barking is down to their owners as are noisy children Members only use these sites so for heavens sake don't complain that the wardens have to close the facilities at a time unsuited to your particular schedule Stop finding fault all the time and go away relax and make the most of the fabulous sites superb staff and most important a good bottle of wine That's what my caravan club is all about

    I’m with Larry on this one.

    Take things in your stride and get on and enjoy yourself.

    . . . if they are not happy with the service they receive.

    It's not as if we recieve the service as a gift.

    We pay for it. And we pay handsomely for it as well.

    Somehow I think that not all that much of it finds it's way down to the Wardens' wallets though.

    I too agree with Larry. Reviews should give information about the site and surrounding area not the behavior of other members.

     I notice that those who are continually moaning about people moaning about perceived failure to follow the CMC rules are the biggest moaners on here.

    Stop moaning -- It's not necessary. Lighten up..

    cool

    I think you will find the majority of clubs are limited companies,with "profits"reinvested for the "good" of their membershipswink

    But if you bought a can of Beanz, and had a problem with it, would you write to Henry James Heinz in Pennsylvania?

    Of course he wouldn't. His contract for the purchase of the tin of beans is between him and the retailer. The retailer is responsible for the product he retails.  

    Just like the CMC, if any of their customers have an issue or complaint about the CMC's  goods and services, the correct action is to complain to Grimstead , which means that the buck stops at DG level.. 

    That complaint should be then dealt with in a polite, helpful and professional manner.

    cool

    "Reviews should give information about the site and surrounding area not the behavior of other members. "

    -A recent review of Moreton in Marsh commented on both male and female shower cubicles being left contaminated with talcum powder! When we last visited Moreton on 8 February, we found the same problem. The wardens couldn't track down the culprits, but they must be regulars at Moreton. Surely matching dates and bookings could bring this couple to justice!

    I assume this is a joke. smile   It's a place where people shower and may or may not use Talc afterwards ?

    " It'll all end in tears " just as the last two posts that were locked, moaners moaning about moaners.

    Could I suggest if one does not agree with someones moaning, let them, there is no sense in turning a discussion into an argument.

    Happy caravanning, indoors.

    If it is in the shower and gets wet it is a mess for the next user and can make the floor very slippery, as used on dance floorssurprised

    You may be shocked JV but I’m not that sensitive to be honest. To use an oft quoted phrase of yours-not many will be ‘in the real world’laughing

    If it gets wet it will surely just wash down the drain. 

    Anyway, who dances in the shower? cool
