Facilities

We have looked at what we can do , and what kit we will take with us and will now give it a couple of weeks to possibly settle down ,then on the 26th July and  have now confirmed to our friends,we start our 8 club site tour ,we may get home about the middle of September

The gov. is publishing further guidance later today. But at least we know these first details. 

I genuinely can't understand firstly the desire to rush to a site on 4th July, and secondly the desire to use a facility block. The hassle of using the shower safely just seems to far outweigh the potential pleasure of doing so. 

To have a shower safely... Wash hands and leave van. Hope main door to facility block is open, walk into shower cubicle, lock door and gel hands. ( who knows how clean the sliding lock will be?). Do l put my bag down on the bench thereby potentially contaminating the bottom of it or do I hang it up on a hook which might have had contaminated bags, clothes and towels hanging on it, so the back of the door may also be contaminated. Get undressed making sure non of my clothes touch anything. Put them in my bag. Get out shower gel, open shower curtain with one hand which is now contaminated so need again to gel hand again. Use shower which could be contaminated on any surface to say nothing of airborne droplets being present. At this point l'm neither showered or dry, but l do have a potentially contaminated bag which needs cleaning. The chances of getting dry and dressed without anything touching any shared surface are nil unless you have the balance of a gymnast, so yet more gelling of hands. What a hassle - are members really going to do all this just to have a shower or are they going to carry on as if Covid doesn't exist or won't affect them?

"...why wouldnt you ."

There are numerous reasons, BJ. Some very personal.

Seeing the size of some LV owners an on board shower is not feasible

That's a bit personal JVB, there are all sorts of reasons why some need or prefer facilities.

In FAQs they now say they intend to open on 4July in England, 15th in Scotland. The Govt has also said 4 July so it looks as certain as it can be given the circumstances.

Have you thought of sending these instructions for showering to the club. They could then give a copy to each visitor on arriving at site.

Mmm, it shows 😂😂😂😂

 so who's going to police that one and run in and out of the block checking each time somebody's been in?

Jill, I have seen this on a few occasions abroad. I can't exactly remember which country, but the routine the lady used did make me smile and I was able to watch whilst queuing: 

Occupant of WC leaves, cleaner rushes in to check before allowing next person to enter. Sometimes the cleaner rushed out the first time, picked up  the deodorant spray and re-entered. What I could never understand is why she just didn't carry the spray all the time 'just in case'

Seems logical to me , could also have side bets on time in shower ,how long to run to van .

Disposable gloves don't address the problem of the cubicle walls being contaminated or the curtain or all those droplets of water transmitting the virus.. Even if your bag is waterproof it could still be contaminated and will need disinfecting back at the van. Where are you going to put your disposable gloves? On the floor to potentially contaminate the floor for the next person?  Not many wipes actually kill the virus so they wouldn't be much help.

Much as l like the idea of a 'strip and run for it' senario there is still the problem of where to put your towel.....

Facilities block not for me any time soon.
