Boys (and Girls) Toys!
After a few months absence I stayed again on a Club site!
ok I know staff need to have appropriate equipment to do their job but come on the Club have gone over the top on boys toys.
Huge tractor sized buggies scooting around the site to empty a few bins. Several times a day.
Very noises blowers to move a few stones from the road back onto the pitches.
it is fast becoming a noise nuisance.
The “other Club” manages these jobs without such OTT provision.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

Can't say I'm on site anywhere for long enough during the day to really notice this, jamsie.
But one point about bin emptying - in my experience the C&CC have done away with bins scattered around the site in favour of the large dumper bins placed at or near the entrance to the site. I like that system - less traffic around site, less, possibly smelly, rubbish near pitching areas and easier for the disposal company lorry to collect.
I don't think there's any significant difference between the two clubs as far as grass cutting or pitch maintenance is concerned.

Oh is it the weekend already?
Like M above I haven't noticed any new toys being used by the wardens?
Also wasn't some poster complaining recently about the grass not being cut?
Club sites are tidy and it takes 'toys' to keep them that way

The CMC head office obviously believe that their on-site workers need those Diddymen Tractors and Leaf Blowers. Otherwise they would not have spent many many thousands of the income buying that equipment. I agree with DD though that brooms would be much safer for moving stones. As far as rubbish bins are concerned, a large bin at the site entrance is sufficient, no need for all those small bins scattered all over the site attracting vermin .

Can't agree more, no need for tractors charging round the site just use big roll top bins at entrance.
Leaf blowers are for leaves not gravel and yes I have seen it used many times to 'tidy up' the gravel.
On a C&CC site at the moment all wardens/site managers were busy earlier out gardening, no noisy machines just some hand tools and a spade. Mind you with the noise the kids have been making I'm not sure I would have heard a tractor

Bins at entrance are fine, but many are quite tall and have lids which are heavy and difficult to lift.
When you are small and have had a shoulder replacement, which means it is impossible to lift your arm above shoulder level, it becomes impossible to lift the lid with that arm.
And if you can lift it with the other arm, you still cannot reach up to drop the rubbish in.
A regular height domestic type wheelie bin is much easier to use.

Never seen tractors ‘scooting or charging around’ particular with a trailer full of bins over the speed humps! Some sites like Rooksbury Park are quite large so there are several bin points, understandable why our hard working wardens need tractors etc..
