i am for the swing ball infact i am for any games being played on campsites as long as it is during daylight hrs, we was on a campsite last Aug and at about 12 midnight some idiots thought it would be good to start kicking a football about, luckily enough it was far enough away from us not to be a danger but i could hear some choice words being said to some of the lads and shore enough a scuffle broke out and it was sorted out by some blokes giving these young lads a good telling off.

But anyway i wouldnt see a prob with swingball, i am with Lizzo i like watching parents get irate when they get beat infact thats me  getting my but kicked by the kids  LOL

Do you know, I'm going to have a rootle around in the shed to see if the old Swingball's still there.

Swingballers against oppression! & if we meet up we'll have a tournament.

I have no problems with anyone playing swingball, long as they dont wake me up early, playing it.

The noise caused by children playing swingball during the day is probably less than some adults make after dark and other people are in bed. 

We don't have any children but like to see them playing freely especially without DS's etc it is so infrequently seen.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Teenagers playing with a hard football between vans is different but little ones with a soft ball should be no problem to anyone.

Perhaps someone could conduct a test to see what force is needed to get a swingball ball to come off the tether.  Hmmmm

I must admit there was a protocol for children playing, is it a new concept lol

Hi

Take the swingball with you im sure you'll have no problems we allways take games like this and in Germany last year got joind by Dutch family playing games. After all everyone moans about kids now aday and say they sit in front of tv and computers all day and then get up to no good so surely they would rather have them playing swingball.

I wouldn't ask first. Knowing how wardens operate, to save themselves any future hassle they'll just say no.

Of course children should be allowed to play swingball on site - let kids be kids for goodness sake !
