Miscellaneous Site Rules and Useful Information

• Gas should be ordered from the office and is usually delivered on a Wednesday, but also on other days when the site is busy and/or demand is high.
• Do not chain gas bottles up, it is against fire regulations, site will not leave new gas bottles at caravans where the bottles are chained.
• If you have gas appliances in your static caravan, you must also, by law, have a working carbon monoxide detector as well as at least one regularly tested fire and smoke alarm.
• Gas changeover valves come in two flavours, Manual and Automatic. Automatic changeovers ensure a continuous gas supply and automatically switch to the reserve cylinder when the pressure falls in the supply cylinder. This appears to be the better option but you have to remember to keep checking the valve to know it's switched over and to order a fresh cylinder. We keep the reserve cylinder turned off and manual switch over, so we can never "unknowingly" run completly out of gas.
• Any electrical work being carried out on your plot or caravan must be done by a competent person. The management must also be informed so we can check that the work is being carried out to the current regulations. If anyone needs any clarification please contact the office.
• Anyone with a hot tub on the caravan site must report it to the office so they can check that it is suitable for use on site. Please contact the office so the necessary checks can be carried out.Do not use your Hot tub until permission has been granted.

As every gardener on the site knows, the local rabbit population can reach plague proportions and they are voracious eaters of our garden plants.

Rabbits tend to be inquisitive feeders and are often attracted to new plantings, so some protective netting is advisable until plants are established. To avoid accidentally trapping or injuring animals, always ensure that netting is kept taut, and check regularly for rips. Where feasible, rabbit-proof fencing can be installed around the garden to exclude rabbits. Individual woody plants may be fitted with tree guards.

Below is a list of rabbit resistant plants according to the RHS which you may wish to consult on you next trip to the garden centre. There is no guarantee that any of the plants listed as resistant will remain free from damage in all conditions. Recent plantings and soft growth in the spring can sometimes be eaten, even if the plants are not susceptible at other times. Also, it's important to remember, the rabbits haven't read the list so the protection advice still applies.

If your child uses any of the listed equipment whilst on site it is the parents responsibility to ensure they are safe and courteous to others on the road.

If children do not adhere to the rules they run the risk of being banned from using their Scooter, etc.
