2 APPLICATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
2.1 The Club Terms and Conditions apply to all Members who hire a Seasonal or Base Pitch.
3 PURPOSE
3.1 The Club is a recreational club for touring caravanners. Seasonal and Base Pitches are a concessional facility for Members who wish to
make use of their Outfits on specific Sites, but who are either unable or unwilling to tow them to and from those Sites at frequent intervals.
3.2 Seasonal and Base Pitches are therefore available for recreational purposes only.
4 ALLOCATION OF PITCHES
4.1 Subject to paragraph 4.2, Members may select a Seasonal Pitch or Base Pitch, as the case may be, from those not occupied at the time they
bring their Outfit to the Site.
4.2 In the event of any dispute relating to a Seasonal Pitch or Base Pitch allocation, or where Member selection of a Seasonal Pitch or Base
Pitch is not possible due to the requirements of a particular Site or on particular occasions, the Warden will allocate Seasonal Pitches or
Base Pitches, as the case may be.
4.3 The provisions of this paragraph 4 will apply the first time the Outfit is brought to the Site and each time thereafter.There is no guarantee
that a Pitch selected by or allocated to a Member at a Site on one occasion will be available to that Member on any future occasion or
occasions, including after a tow-off period.
5 USE OF CARAVANS ON SITE
5.1 Sites are for recreational purposes, NOT residential purposes. When on Site, the Caravan may therefore be occupied for recreational
purposes only.
5.2 The Caravan may be occupied for a maximum of 21 nights for any one visit. After any one visit of 21 successive nights the Member and
any other persons staying in the Caravan must vacate the Caravan and the Site and there must be an interval of not less than 48 hours
before a return visit to the Caravan.
6 TOWING OFF
6.1 Members are required to remove their Caravans from the Site at regular intervals:
Base Pitch: Members must tow off twice during the period of l April to 31 October 2007 for at least two separate 24-hour periods,
with a period of at least 28 nights between each separate 24-hour tow-off period; and
Seasonal Pitch: Members must tow off once during the period of 31 May to 1 September 2007 for at least one 24-hour period.
6.2 Any Member who has failed to satisfy the relevant towing off condition by the relevant time or for the relevant period will be notified in
writing of such and requested to tow off within 48 hours. Failure to do so will be considered to be a breach of The Club Terms and
Conditions and as such The Club is entitled to terminate the hire of the Seasonal or Base Pitch and require the Member to remove their
Outfit immediately. In such circumstances the Member will not be entitled to a refund.
7 PITCH USE AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
7.1 Nothing may be stored beneath the Outfit.
7.2 Pitches should be kept as clean and tidy as possible at all times. Assessment of the cleanliness and tidiness of a Pitch will be at the
Warden's discretion, to be exercised reasonably. Any uncleanliness or untidiness will be notified to the relevant Member and a reasonable
period allowed for such to be remedied. Any borderline cases or dispute relating to cleanliness and tidiness of the Pitch will be dealt with in
accordance with The Club's complaints procedure, which is set out in The Club Bye-Laws/Site Rules.
Gardens
7.3 Nothing may be planted or grown on or in the vicinity of any Seasonal or Base Pitch.
Gas Bottles
7.4 For safety reasons, only gas bottles that fit in the Caravan gas locker are permitted when the Member is not on Site.
Electric Hook-up
7.5 Seasonal Pitch agreements may include electric hook-up facilities. Where an electric hook-up is not available on a Seasonal Pitch a
Member may, subject to availability, book an EHU touring pitch, and move to it, incurring the full touring pitch fee and per capita charges
applicable to that touring pitch (in addition to the fees payable for the Seasonal Pitch).
7.6 When the Outfit is not occupied the electric hook-up must be disconnected and the electric cable stored.
Awnings
7.7 Awnings may be erected, but for safety purposes all awnings must be dismantled when the Member leaves the Site at the end of a visit.
7.8 To preserve the grass, in accordance with Site Rules, groundsheets and side flaps of tents and awnings must be raised at regular intervals
and/or as reasonably requested by the Warden.
7.9 Members must take reasonable care not to cause damage to grass by use of awnings or other external items of a Member's Outfit.

Visitors' car park in accordance with the Site Rules.
7.11 The parking of cars during periods of Caravan occupation shall be in accordance with the Site Rules.
8 MOVEMENT OF OUTFITS
8.1 On reasonable notice from the Warden, Members may be required occasionally to move their Outfit due to maintenance and/or
development requirements, including, if required by utility companies, to enable the ground under the Outfit to be 'aired', the grass to grow,
grass cutting to take place and tree maintenance.
8.2 In the event of a hazard or emergency, such as fire, high winds, flooding or water logging, the Warden may need to move or arrange for the
Outfit to be moved immediately to another area or Pitch on the same Site or off the Site.In such circumstances, the Warden will, if possible,
give the Member as much notice of such requirement as possible.
8.3 Once the maintenance and/or development requirements have been satisfied or completed or there is no longer a hazard or emergency, the
Member will be entitled to return the Outfit, where possible, to the original Pitch. Where this is not possible, the Member will be required
to move the Outfit to another Pitch, as comparable to the original Pitch as possible. Please see paragraph 12 in relation to refunds.
8.4 Wheels must not be removed from the Outfit.
9 STANDARD OF OUTFIT
9.1 In order to maintain visual standards, only Outfits in a good state of repair and condition, adequately maintained and clean, will be allowed
into and to remain on the Site.
