Hygiene
Having spent another few days on a club site, I am disappointed with members who leave the toilets in a filthy condition. This is down to actual members themselves, and not the wardens, who are meticulous in their cleaning. Having been a member for well over 30 years, I have seen a deterioration in the way members leave the facilities. Appreciate on occasions that illness may affect outcome, but surely not on a daily basis, and affecting more than one cubicle, and if such circumstances have debilitated you, please have the decency and respect and clean up afterwards. Why leave it to the wardens who may have just completed their cleaning, or even worse leave it to unsuspecting bone fide members. I may add, this attitude is represented in both male and female facilities.
I ask that the Club make some sort of representation and to remind or in fact educate members to leave toilets as they would like to see them themselves, Clean and pristine.

Join the many of us, who have noted over the years the degeneration of attitudes towards others, not just on club sites
I have posted before of the incident, OH noted in the showers,on a club site , when a mother and her daughter were also separate showers ,the daughter having finished and said to mother, do I use the mop out here to do my shower , to which the reply was ,
"You do not need to darling there are people to do that"
What chance is there for those of us who try to help our fellow members,by being thoughtfull
On several site we have been on notices have been on the toilet doors "adviseing "to leave as you would like to find it

Even in these times of heightened awareness folk can't be bothered.
Talking with the checkout operator in Sainsburys yesterday. That morning one person had asked for the card reader to be wiped before she touched it. Another had sneezed without covering their mouth. Two ends of the spectrum.
You can ask, try and educate but for many it falls on deaf ears.

We stayed at a campsite in SW Australia [Turner's Farm] in 2015. In typical Australian bluntness, there was a sign on the toilet door which read:
'BEFORE YOU FLUSH, CHECK TO SEE IF IT NEEDS A BRUSH'
It worked. Toilets were spotless, possibly combined with another sign that made it perfectly clear that children playing in or around the toilet block would be taken back to their parents and the whole party then asked to leave the campsite ...
Closer to home, on our first CAMH site last month, there was a male toilet left in an awful state late in the day. No excuse, especially sonce it would be about 15 hours before the Wardens were treated to its delights at cleaning time.

I have to agree with MM on this score. Although I only occasionally use toilet blocks as I prefer to us my own facilities. However on the occasions I have I have found the flushing systems to be inadequate in most cases. Not that its an excuse for leaving a toilet pan dirty but I could see that some will get fed up with waiting for the cistern to refill. The toilets I have at home can be reflushed in 30 seconds that is far from true on most Club sites I have used.
Back to the OP's point I don't think it should be out of the question to remind members that they should leave the toilets in a clean condition and a notice of the back of the toilet door (which would be seen by all that use it) would not be amiss.

sadly, despite some saying they have never witnessed this problem, it is a growing problem, but what is more discerning is that fact that if this happened a few days ago then there is a strong possibility it was people from the older generation as children /younger generation are at school/work.
Personally i think the flush action/refilling is a major cause for concern, often they dont work properly or take an age to refill, and on a lot of sites water pressure is poor, even in the showers, whereas Spanish sites for example seem to have very high pressure and a very powerful flush that facilitates a better clean.

On some sites the toilet flushes are via tanks in the loft space, as are some showers ,which could well be why there is lower pressure, , normally on sites that have poor water supply to the sites , hence the tanks to give a better supply
The refubisment of the site at Sutton on Sea has now got a large water tank outside for just that reason in place of roof tanks in the original toilets ,and the water is now pumped to the toilet /shower block
