Pitch etiquette

All though we haven't been members that long we have noticed over the yesrs, people's attitudes have changed not just walking through pitches but cleaning up after themselves, in the showrrs. My wife thinks it's a sign of the times, I think it's gone idleness.

Laziness is a terrible disease.

We used the cafe at one of our hospitals today run by volunteers? there are several of the" Tray towers"? which patrons are asked to use to assist keeping Tables clear when leaving the cafe we spent about 30mins there and apart from us only one other patron put their tray with their used plate and cups in any of them they just left the tables for either the next patron or the busy staff to clear the table

I find that if I stagger around the site dragging a felling axe people tend to give me a wide berth

Only until the police arrive

Tempting though that may be, any cause of injury to a person could get you in court. Some years ago - I'm sure it was on a C&CC site - a woman had put a clothes line from her van handle to a tree. Without washing on it, it was not very visible and a young lad rode through on his bike. The line caught him in his upper body region and fetched him off. Although the line was on her pitch she got into trouble over it.
We make a point of avoiding corner pitches or pitches where it is convenient to walk through as a short cut to amenities. More or less similar idleness as parking as close as possible to a supermarket entrance, and joining the jostle when the further end of the car park is virtually empty.
Funny, innit! Campers do the outdoor thing for health exercise, then take short cuts instead of following the proper route. Nowt so queer as folk!

+1👍🏻. Whilst staying at New England Bay I had a corner plot towards the beach, folk cut across the pitch every day. I got quite chatty with a few of them😊. Then again I see the pitch as a temporary parking spot, not short term ownership, I ain’t that precious🙄

No, It was a joke. 👍

Funny you should say that, Rocky, but I’ve noticed folk are far more laid back about things like that on C&CC sites. Far less precious. 👍🏻

Why not put wind breaks up to physically BLOCK the route, that's what I have done in the past and if anyone says anything to you just say that you have paid for the use of the pitch and you have not gone over your boundary.

a campsite is hardly the place to expect privacy, but courtesy is a different matter...
walking right through someone's pitch is particular rude, IMV...and lazy in many cases..
some folk do try and give themselves a bit more privacy by erecting windbreaks, some on long term sites have a veritable barricade around them, but whatever they decide on, we should respect their 'area' and only enter if invited..
the pitch might be rented and temporary but, in my book, that's good enough for its space to be respected by passers by....and those short cutting to other parts of the site.

It’s not so much about boundary or paying for the pitch when you erect wind breaks, Margaret, but ensuring you maintain the necessary distance for safety requirements. That is why wardens sometimes ask people to take windbreaks down.
I agree it can sometimes be annoying when folk walk too close but I don’t think we need to be so parochial as to cordon ourselves off. Why not try engaging the people in conversation then you can politely ask them not to trip over your dog/BBQ/chairs in future?

Our Dog tethered so she can reach all parts of our pitch but not beyond, usually stops intrusion.She is not vicious, quite the opposite very very friendly and liable to trip and tie up the transgressor then lick them unmercifully. Especially children. Tends to keep most at bay
