What a shame to have such a bad experience on your first meet.  Don't let it put you off.  We felt like the odd ones out on our first weekend meet because everybody seemed to know each other.  Also, when we arrived with our F/C we were told to put our jockey wheel on the pitch marker.  After trying to explain that this wouldn't suit our camper we did as we were told & of course we were too close to the caravan next door.  We were then told to move which involved refolding, moving, & unfolding again.  After a busy day at work & travelling in peak hour traffic my husband was very close to packing up & going home.  However, we stayed, enjoyed the campsite, & our daughter joined in the organised games while I watched from the sidelines & hubby relaxed at the camper.  So it turned out to be quite a good weekend. The people were quite friendly & we had achat with a few of them. My husband is not too keen to try again, but we  had an excellent break at a THS & have another booked for August, so we might try a meet again one day.

Its so annoying when people don't respect your space.  Our neighbours at the weekend allowed their dog to run wildly around around the campsite from our field, around the corner to the other field where the others in their party were camped.  I don't think they took their dog offsite at all so it must have done all its business in the field somewhere.  I know there was some dog dirt on the way to the toilets but I'm not sure which dog in their group might have done it. It was picked up next day so either they saw it or someone complained.

We also belonged to another club which had rallies & found that children were alllowed to run wild & into/around other peoples units - it was hard to tell our daughter not to do that when she was part of the crowd. 

Anyway, we will try again some day,
