Club rules outdated

Not sure how you arrive at that. If there's a one way system I abide by it when driving but if there are kids about I fully expect them to be playing & not really paying attention to the world about them ..... remember when kids kick a ball into the road & follow it without thinking? .... & as such I try to expect the unexpected. I don't start waving the rule book at them for doing it wrong.

I have no sympathy with the OP. The rules are clear and you cannot adapt them to suit you. I cannot see the ones quoted are outdated but are needed for us all to use the sites safely and without disturbing others.
Putting a caravan across the pitch would almost certainly breach the separation safety point. The suggestion is simply unsafe in most cases but there are a few pitches available where you can do this but It I take it this was not one.
Children should ride the correct way round the site roads, it is common sense and safer.
The re are sites with areas for ball games but playing them in amongst the caravans is going to disturb other site use3rs and in some cases can cause damage. Sites with a separate play area are noted and you need to check these are suitable before booking.
Personally we do not want bars, swimming pools and the rest even though we have toured with three children although on odd occasions we have used commercial sites when we wanted these. If that is what you want there are commercial sites who do it better than the club ever could.

I can't see the relevance of my teaching skills to someone hitting a child on site or this thread but, well attack the poster if you can't argue against what they are saying, I suppose it's easier?

that's good to know but the idea is that I don't have to go where the TT facilities are, but that they are where I chose to go....
quite a difference

Brue, I liked your post.
I didn't realise there was an acronym for a 'hardcourt' playing area.....I don't suppose we can exist without one for just about every thing we use....however...
whatever its called, when 'away' we see them heavily used, from morning till evening with the kids quickly 'making up sides' (no different to how kids have done it for the past hundred years) and getting stuck in....welcoming any newcomer to one of the sides and so on...
the other thing is that sites 'over there' use their staff to organise tournaments.....football, handball, table tennis, boules whatever which brings like minded folk together....no different to a quiz nite etc..
i hope we would never get to the stage where impromptu games weren't allowed due to some H&S diktat...
perhaps we are just too conservative to think that folk would like to mix and enjoy something so 'awful' as a footbal match.
...but then. this raises the issue of staffing with the CC model unable to cope with anything other than reception, grass cutting and toilet cleaning.....sequentially....

happens to us all no doubt with posts, we're just not as rude in replying and would give your replies the respect that they and the guidelines deserved and counter the points raised, I have no idea what your job was but wouldn't think of posting your skill or absence of it as a reply to you

hang on TW.....are you really suggesting that a pedestrian (with or without a pram pr an aquaroll) should traipse all the way round a site to follow pedantically the one way system?
as Norman Tebbit might have said....on yer bike

David, pretty much our experience of how well equipped sites over there pan out. plenty of things to do, plenty of space to pitch, minimal regulations, yet everyone isn't on top of each other...
kids fully knacked by the end of the day, the bars and restaurants full but generally orderly and quiet...a far cry from the sort of 'facilities' that could be available at each club site....tho' we enjoyed being at Hillhead earlier this year, felt a bit 'continental' bit don't tell anyone...
i understand many won't make use of them (too old for any exercise or perhaps even strolling to the bar) but if the club is serious about keeping teenage children 'on side' with mum/dad and being part of the club for the next 30 years, it has to give them something to hang onto now, or coming back to CC without said parents will be the last thing on their mind.
BTW, shame we missed you in Slovenia....tho' slumming it here (I see were 1hr ahead of you) has its advantages

any chance of that in English?
i know I'm 'overseas' at the moment but I haven't a clue what you're on about...google translate got a bit stuck....especially I it wasn't addressed to you...

'car, one way - the same common sense issue apply no matter where that road is, nor what the speed limit is, nor whether it’s an aqua roll or a pram being pushed.'
I was referring to this...

You need as stated, to be a bit more proactive in reading previose posts before jumping in,
without as usual, keeping abreast of what went before
,and as its an open forum what is wrong with not just the poster putting you on the right track1 -
Running a few ideas past a teenager the coffee shops got the most interest. Coffee shops are well used by teenagers in our area.
Ball games, organised or not, got a yawn. I suppose you’ve got to enjoy kicking a football around to think that would be a good addition.
I said earlier that an area for ball games is a lazy way to tick a box and it’ll take a lot to persuade me otherwise.
However the teenager did say they’d really like to see some outdoor gym equipment. The sort you see in parks. We stayed on a site in NI which had a good range (Rushin House) and it was well used. They’d taken advantage of EU funding to provide quite a range of things. No club or bar but not a bad model really

agree about the games, at school kids mostly want to sit and chat, on holiday recently with a really wide range of activities to choose from (most sports, archery, shooting, water polo, tennis...) there were only a handful out of hundreds of teenagers who took part. Most of them appeared to spend their day on the sunbeds on their phones (funny to see how the sunbathing positions were adapted for phone use, or sitting at the pool bar also on their phones.
Actually most adults spent their time on Kindles.

It was following on from MM's post and, I’d have thought the meaning was pretty obvious.
Is it worth dragging this thread down into the depths by nit picking over a few words?🙄

What qualifications are needed on top of all the other jobs site staff are expected to be "qualified" to carry out for members do they need to be "barristas?,unless of course the latest sell out of parts of the uk (Costa)will put one of their auto vending machines in site offices
