I'm up in @buttons territory (Hertfordshire). Despite the windy forecast, just nipped up for the weekend for a spin. Anyway........
On arrival, here's a quick resumé of the conversation at reception, where I was at the back of a small queue.
Receptionist: "Sorry to keep you Sir, just dealing with these people and I'll be with you in a moment"
Me: "That's fine; I'm in no hurry".
Receptionist: "Right Sir, sorry to keep you. Are we expecting you? If so, could I have your name please?" (Name given) "Ah yes; here we are. Just a small balance to pay Mr ..... and you'll be on your way.
Paid my balance.
Receptionist: "Here's an information sheet with the gate code etc, but if there's anything else you need to know, just ask. This is my colleague Luke. He will direct you to your pitch and I hope you have a nice stay"
Luke: "Do you have any preferences Sir? Under trees, not under trees? Near the loo's or away from them?" The pitches closest to the toilet blocks have been swiped I'm afraid. Just follow me on my bike. I'll show you the Motorhome Service Point if you need water etc, then we'll find you a nice pitch"
PHWELLL knock me down with a feather!
Whatever happened to standing in a queue, shuffling from foot to foot with no one interested and a hand raised if you dare to speak! I'm not talking about campsites necessarily, just generally.
We all moan about some sites - particularly club sites in the UK and their officialdom, but this experience was a nice one.
Well done to the staff of Hertford CC&C site.
PS. I have no connection to the site. I'm sure some horror stories will follow, but I thought it's right to praise when praise is due.
