So what did the Club ever do for Motorcaravanners?

Chester Fairoaks now has an open grid for waste water and two covered drains for Black Waste, clearly marked. Unfortunately the picture is a bit small but if you right click and open in its own window you can see it more clearly.

If you have been to Bingham Grange then your post about "nothing wrong "means that you must have not noted the complete lack of basic water and waste points in the lower area of the site ,the very "basic" ccep, and almost non existant motor caravan emptying point ,the upper part was so packed in with pitches that at times to access /exit some it would mean the next pitch having to move,the only saving grace of the site were "some?" of the washrooms and the good dog walk

That’s the set up I was talking about earlier. I saw several puzzled MH-ers trying to work out what was what and one who eventually discharged his grey waste into the narrow gridded gutter running alongside the grass.

Perhaps the Wardens could { Urgently } request the Club has "ONLY " inserted 'tween the Black dumps & " Grey Water HERE " painted alongside the open grid.
Any body misusing the place then should be reported, swiftly, to the local Constabulary .

Indeed and why would anybody think otherwise?
However in your haste to be altruistic you seemed not to have realised that very few, if any, caravanners would be likely to habitually relish accommodation cheek by jowl in a car park and certainly not to leave them parked there whilst they go off in the tow vehicle.
I think that, like Baldrick, your 'cunning plan' needs a tad more refining

You can’t legislate for the hard of understanding, Brian. 😁

this is immediately followed by squeals from caravan owners who say these improvements can't be for MHers alone...
I think that what was really being said was that the majority of members would not want car park like facilities and that they therefore see no good reason for CC to spend good money fo provide sub standard pitches for the benefit of the few who would use them if available cheaply

It really isn't "few who would use them" .
Those of us who tour Europe know full well that what you call "substandard pitches" are hugely popular and they will prove so here in the UK when they are set up. The world is changing .

+1, especially the cheap part, something for very little paid for by all.

Why are members with Motorhomes and Caravanners who like to tour, being classed the same as Gypsy Travellers ??
Some members have some very strong prejudices against other members.
I am very happy with the provision made for Motorhomers.
Just think that the LNA areas could be better utilised.

What I call sub standard pitches are those with insufficient separation. If an organisation wishes to market such pitches then that is up to them and the users as far as I am concerned. I see no part for the CC in providing them. I also consider previous suggestions of taking over parts of CC site car parks as discussed on previous threads to be purely selfish. What, generally limited car parking there is is for the benefit of those using the standard pitches amd are made use of by those and occasional visitors.

how can people justify taking out parts of the car park and so affecting others just so they can get a cheap night is really beyond me?
Why not stay off site or where this sort of parking happens? Too 'timid' perhaps? btw I am only saying that as 'timid' word has often been used against those who use club sites.
It sort of seems like they want all the benefits of a club site but want to pay less for that?

"this is immediately followed by squeals from caravan owners who say these improvements can't be for MHers alone..."
Rather rude to characterise caravaners expressing an opinion as "squealing" surely, BB, no more so than the small cadre of MHers "squawking" for a better deal?
Anyway to get back on topic - three questions:
1) Although none of us can actually know, what percentage of club MHers (let alone MHers as a whole) do you estimate would want to tour in your way in the UK?
2) If it's such a good idea, how come those commercial sites you use and praise so often (Haven, Morris, Concierge et al ) haven't jumped on the bandwagon?
3) If the likes of Lidl and Aldi offer this sort of provision on the continent, have you though of lobbying them to do likewise over here, or, like others, are you just waiting for someone else to make the effort?
