What changes would you make ?

Have to agree, one of the main points that is frequently written on site reviews is clean toilets. even other sites reviewed by non club sources are compared to club sites - up to caravan club standard, so why changed a system that produces such a high standard?
I personally don't think that a paid cleaner could do better, perhaps not take such a pride in their work as they go home? While a warden lives on site and has to face (literally) any poor work.
I feel sorry for David, he admits to using club sites so infrequently yet obviously by his statement (otherwise why make it?) he gets unfriendly customer service wardens every time? I never get any - must be lucky I guess?

they do indeed, I'm starting to think that perhaps people like club sites?

I don't use an awning but often choose an awning pitch for the better outlook.

Hence my post. A recent site we were on, there were loads of single smaller motorhomers plonked in the middle of a huge pitch leaving me a choice of very few pitches that I could even think about getting our outfit on. Loads of blue pegs with sod all on them.

My outfit is can hardly be described as "small" and there is also the fairly large Land Rover to pull it, so I understand the problem well.
It is only made worse by the occupants of the said small motor caravan or camper departing at dawn and not returning until dusk on a day we have decided to relax at the caravan and enjoy the view - but we can't see it from the pitch we had to take. More than once we have taken the recliners and other kit off to another pitch so we can sit in sunshine.
There is also a problem on these non-awning pitches that keeping to the peg (more or less), and with waste and water containers alongside, it is difficult to park the Land Rover with sufficient space to open the door without going onto grass. Not that it is a problem for a Land Rover, but it can be for the grass!

Another reason why I rarely would book non awning. I site caravan and car such that I can fully open drivers door with a few inches to spare.

We don't have an awning as such, but we do have a tiny pop up tent to put chairs & bbq in during the summer months and we sometimes use our roll out canopy in the afternoons so we have to book a white peg as we cant even put a tiny pop up on a non awning blue pitch.

price differentials will be introduced for 2019 for not only awning and none awning but also for grass and hard standings.
Would that they could be, but we were told just over a year ago that the membership was too thick to understand the difference between hard standing and grass when booking. So just under a year to "educate" us all . . . ?

Personally I would have no objection to that providing the differentials were within reason. We currently know how much a service pitch costs extra, it's just a case of coming up with a fair price structure for the other types of pitches. If all awning hardstandings went up by £1 it is possible they would still be making more money if they reduced the price of non awning and grass pitches by £2. I suspect they might be mindful of what the other Club charges in terms of an additional fee for a hardstanding?

That is one of the "problems" that some seem to find with the booking system, as on sites with and without awning pitches,when opening the bookings page, the first to appear is awning pitches and if there is space then it is just booked , you need to scroll down for the the non awning pitches ,also as some have posted the site they wanted was "full" and they did not realise that non awning and othe pitches are available by scrolling down

When I enquired, and I can't remember now exactly where it was, I received a no in response. Everything must be on the HS no pop ups and no canopies out on non awning pitches.... Its that elf and safe tea business.
Infact he was most indignant, and we moved to a white peg pitch so I could put the pop up in the corner.

That approach does not seem to be implemented elsewhere as there are often items of furniture, bicycles, barbecues, satelite dishes, washing whirly-gigs, and goodness knows what else strewn about on both awning and non-awning pitches, not to mention Aqua-rolls, Wastemasters and gas cylinders!!

I would like the club to build the next site without a toilet block, thus saving millions on construction and on going service costs. I would like the pitches to be all weather and winterised fully serviced, but with some grass available with or without electric.
I think the considerable savings should be passed on to members.
If after a fair trial no one wants to use it there is also the option to build the shower block, however I think the lower costs that can be achieved will attract members without it.

That could happen, but be nothing to do with the facilities. It is location and outlook that draws me.
