    Even "multiple"staffed sites are legally abliged to give staff time off which then would make for an Ad hock system that you proposewink

    JVB66, Not just restricted to 'the bank holiday crowd'......was at Chatsworth earlier this year....when the flood gate was opened at 1-0pm...it was like a race track with everyone looking for their ideal pitch.

    Until, that is, the inevitable happened....one caravan decided to take a 'standard' pitch along the stretch just past reception....unhooked, put mover on, didn't work, scratched head, fiddled with master switch etc.....this created a gridlock of around 10 units that were already in the sites one way system waiting to get past (to find their ideal pitch), in addition to those who were at reception being booked in. 

    Needless to say nothing moved for quite awhile.

    In which case I would expect everyone behind being the nice persons they all are, to get out of their vehicles and help push the caravan onto the pitch.

    Job done in a short time 👍 or more likely they sat and waited while he/she struggled frown

    That' far too easy. They did that at Ferry Meadows but change of warden soon meant the queues returned

    Why not just hand over your club membership card to warden, then go and pitch up, check in and pay later. Reminds me of being over there that's what we do.wink

    Of course they are, A shift system does not change the number of hours worked, or the time allowed for rest breaks. It merely allows the overall trading day to be increased due to intelligent allocation of time.

    I consider the on site employees perfectly capable of working to a shift system similar to that  described in my previous post.

    Also now 6 wardens at Chatsworth. Only 4 when we came in February. Not quite sure why 6 wardens are needed. Very little grass to cut unlike some sites so one would think they could come with a better check in system. We’ve been coming here years and have never known any other way of it being done.

    It's the working time directive that has pushed upon the costs as believe it or not the wardens are by law not now allowed to work beyond their contracted hours, unless they agree to opt out of the wtd and as in the past be at the beck and call of site users all hours for nil remunerationfrown

    Yes, take away a unique feature of the site - a bit like what happened at Longleat! Good to see some positive forward thinking! wink

    Inovation does not come easy to the club. The attitude seems to be " we have always done it this way". The  post suggestion is excellent IMHO and time they adopted a new way.

     I don't think anyone goes to Chatsworth to spend much time sitting around on the site though, do they? smile
