So what did the Club ever do for Motorcaravanners?
...booted all those caravanners onto grass pitches and saved all the HS for the MHs according to another thread....
of course, I dont believe a word of it
good site management according to JK and that's good enough for me

Currently at Warwick where MH outnumber caravans by a ratio of about 3 to 1. The MHSP still has a manhole cover rather than a "proper" waste drain. Given the apparent antipathy on this thread to any attempt to 'think outside the box", it does tend to reinforce the view among a significant number of motorhomers that the name change was a mere sop and to quote a certain politician 'nothing has changed' notwithstanding the ongoing change in the demographic.

Warwick is a race course site managed on their behalf by the cc has the dishwash area been improved?when the racecourse built the facilities they "forgot" to put one in so it was a sink top stuck on the wall of the building , so the chance of an "upgrade"to MCservice point is down the list!! and as with a lot of easy access to transport and towns sites there does tend to be more motor caravans so there is not a need to "upsticks" to go out for the day ,we are also on a similar site

The site is owned by the racecourse. Such sites of that type that I have been on often have substandard facilities in many ways when compared to 'proper' club sites rather than club managed sites

see above as to why the club cannot change the waste arrangements. Perhaps you should choose a 'real' club site to make your point?
Yet even so MH accounts for around three quarters of the visitors, the club must be doing something right to attract them in such good proportions? And perhaps that the name change was a mere sop doesn't hold true in this case?

No it's not owned by the race course, everything is leased to Warwick Town Council including the race course and the golf club. It's all on common land. It's probably one of the most awkward motorhome drain points on the network! Not pleasant when water runs all over the adjoining roadway.

I believe it's all been happening for a long time JVB, the set ups are all intertwined. I expect the club originally leased a part of the field there. I remember Warwick Common when things were much more rural, no golf club either. The council no doubt makes a lot of money from the leases etc which is fair enough as the people of Warwick have rights on the land.
Bit of a diversion from this lengthy thread.
edit I suppose it shows the wheels within wheels of planning, how things are not always as straight forward and easy to do as some would hope.

perhaps they don't have these in Hertfordshire, David
but I'd say with EHU, fresh water and waste adjacent, it was a Serviced Pitch
we have one just like it at home

Warwick Racecourse is as far as we are concerned one of the best little sites going! Agree the MH dump point is possibly one of the most awkward we have seen, but it’s not difficult unless you cannot manoeuvre and cannot lift. It wouldn’t be half as difficult if those with MHs carried some form of dump pipe, forward planning does help. We love Racecourse Sites, ok they aren’t typical Club Sites, but they are still very nice, and usually a great price. Just looked at Fakenham coincidentally, guess what......you can book a specific pitch on there!😂

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can book specific pitches as a tourer at Fakenham.
What I think you can do is book grass or hard standing types but not a specific pitch.
I'm all for this but would be very much against booking specific pitches on Club sites.
