SITE GUIDELINES and CHECKSHEET
As a condition of use all users are asked to comply with these guidelines to ensure the site is left for others as we would hope to find it. Thanks
Access
Please confirm your arrival arrangements during the week prior to your visit. You will be met by one of the Wardening team at an agreed time. Approach via the churchyard track beside the Parr Arms.
Arrival Times
Many camps start on a Friday evening which is “Scout Night” for the 25th Warrington East who own the Scout Centre. Campers are to contact the Scout Leaders beforehand to confirm their arrival times and as a courtesy it is expected you do not disturb their meetings.
Warden Service
Grappenhall is small by comparison to other Scout campsites so does not have a resident warden service. You will however be given the mobile number of the duty warden who will be “on call” during your visit should you need anything.
Fires
Apart from the campfire area raised “oil drum” fires are available so turfs are not to be cut. The exception being a small area set aside for limited backwoods cooking situated between the treeline and the churchyard on the small site provided that everything is replaced after use. Barbecue grills and fire stands are available on request. Please ask the warden.
Toilets
Male & Female toilets and changing facilities are made available to campsite users.
Please ensure these facilities are left clean for the next users (Sweep/mop)
Canal Access
Access can be gained to the canal via the gate with a combination lock. All water activities are to be undertaken under strict supervision and by leaders that hold the necessary authorisations. A life belt is stored in the Centre which can be brought out during water activities and replaced after use. The gate should remain locked at all other times.
Pioneering Poles
Pioneering poles are available at a small charge by arrangement with the duty warden.
Smoking
The Site observes a no smoking policy.
Lights Out
Help us to keep good relations with our neighbours by keeping noise down after 10.30pm. Turn off the gable end lights at night (they are on a timed switch and go out about 5 minutes after having switched them off)
Morning “Roll Call”
Please avoid a noisy”Roll Call”. Whilst youngsters may be up and about early please keep noise to a minimum in a morning in respect of our neighbours wishes.
Refuse.
Because this is a small site we only have one domestic wheely bin. Campers are therefore requested to remove all their own rubbish when leaving the site burning what you can on the campfire.
Site Sweep.
Please conduct a litter sweep before breaking camp. Ensure no food deposits are left as these could attract vermin.
Departure
Call the duty Warden on their Mobile to confirm what time you will be ready to depart. Give them at least one hours notice. They will check over the site with you, set the alarm and collect the keys as you leave. If for any reason they are unable to get to you then please lock up and return the keys to
Chris Jenner, 5 Gilwell Close, Grappenhall WA4 2YL. The site will be checked later.
