Update from MB

[BigH]

I've just had a call from our advance party, and it seems they're having a few problems...
The Zoning on MB is being enforced with vim and vigour, they've almost been kicked out. Not only are the lovely officials physically pulling up tents and gazebos if they're in the wrong zone, they're also making people stick to the white lined pitches, and you can't reserve any for your mates either. They've tried bribery and corruption, all to no avail.
I predict a riot....

Now that doesn't sound funny
Any other reports?

[Lawnmower Man]

Are they ok with reserveing space if you have the tickets?
That is if you have three  cars and 6 Passes? 

t,

[knetter]

I will call Paddy or Langtall in a minute and post an update!

Hopefully we won't have any of this 'red tape' shenannigans on BSJ...

[Andy Zarse]

It's probably easy to enforce this with the few early birds. But once there's a long queue to get in and they're overun by the awkward squad I predict the whole thing will collapse. And anyway, provided you have the tickets, why can't you reserve space for your pals? They'll never get away with it!

[Robspot]

If you've got the passes, regardless of whether or not the vehicles are there yet, then I don't see how they can prevent you taking up the appropriate space.

If, however, you are camping in a different zone to your ticket then it would seem you don't have a leg to stand on.

The situation where people are trying to save space for people but they don't have the tickets might be a bit more tricky

[knetter]

Just had a call with Langtall, so far so good. They are saving space for Delboy and JPC, the ACO are giving them a hard time, but with the invoices they have with them,they seem to bugger off. They will try to defend it with their live. They are enforcing the white     lines,marking the pitches. They have made "security zones between pitches, leaving less space then usual. For instance, our pitch is divided into 2, with a road in between, this is their so called security zone. I guess they are enforcing it this year to see how it goes, so when next year comes (with marked and numbered pitches) they have an idea if the system works. Probably come thursday, it will be anarchy and everyone will just do whatever they like and they will give up the enforcement

[Jules G]

Thanks for the update Knetter, lets see what it's like on Wednesday lunch time

[termietermite]

No probs for us.  Two tickets and one car - put up the tents in the two pitches and left - we were asked to show the tickets to prove we had paid for two spaces but that was all. Seemed fair enough to me although the big tent (6 person) and the car were a squash!  But at least there are good access roads between all the plots so you can drive in and out.

At least the late arrivals should get a space in the site they paid for !

Report from Wishy,

According to our man in the field, the guys who are checking the tickets/passes are like heavy bouncers, with zero sense of humour. - seems being empolyed by the ACO.

Theyu are checking the zoning of the tickets with vigour (poor vigour). There seems no tolenance, what ever zone you are in thats the only section you can be in!

They are being strick on pitch sizes as well.

I think we don't have to worry about Friday, looks like it could be bl**dy rediculous Wed/Thur/Fri and god knows what Sat (with late arrivals and tickets) is going to be like.

Like H said

I predict a riot....

If the space police carry on their work then there should be space even for late arrivals,

IF the ACO have sold the right number of tickets for each zone.

It would seem logical that they know who many pitches per zone, however we are talking about the ACO, who work in mysterious ways

[knetter]

come thursday it will be so busy, they won't know were to start enforcing space allocation and of course everybody will just park wherever it is possible.

[Robbo SPS]

And hopefully Bleu wont be like this.

As werner said earlier - Bleu. Its the new white..
