Unfortunately, it's moan time AGAIN. Firstly.... everyone's bug bear DOG POO!!!!!
Your dog, your responsibility. Pick it up. There are no excuses. We supply poo bags and a bin. Looking on cctv... one problem is.... people are opening the car doors and letting the dogs out first. Then putting coats/boots on... getting kids out of the car, etc. Meanwhile, your dog is poohing and you cannot see them. So please get ready and let your dogs out last.
Secondly, do not sit in the car and let your dogs freely run. You should be watching them at all times. If we see you in your car and dogs down the field... you will be asked to leave and blocked.
We have noticed lots of cars parked in the farm yard. Your terms and conditions of booking state that all cars (maximum of 3 per booking), should be parked inside of the paddock area. No dog should be needed to be put on a lead. We are not insured outside of the paddock perimeters.
Finally timing. If the paddock is empty and you want to go in a few minutes earlier, then that's fine. But don't book 25 mins and turn up 30 mins early and hope to get the hour. That's just taking advantage!!!! And it's frustrating. Especially when the same person leaves late!!!! It's a 25 minute or 55 minute booking. Please stick to this or book longer.
Sorry to moan. But a lot of people book this and we want it to be nice and clean and fair for everyone. Thank you

ROAD CLOSURE
As far as I can see... a small portion of the A43 is closed from weldon to us 29th Nov to 2nd December. So you'll need to go through Deene or Priors hall. I'll update you when I know 100%. Please allow extra time to get to your paddock. Thank you

Update...... culprit found on cctv!!!! He threw the bag into the fence, so pure laziness.

Really? Surely it takes longer to lodge the bag to the fence rather than lift the bin lid? Why?

POOH BAGS AND DAMAGE

Please can people be respectful. We like to think that we provide a lovely service with the paddocks, with the bonus of supplying poo bags to ensure we have clean paddocks. But to find 300 poo bags have disappeared from only 1 paddock in 2 days is UNBELIEVABLE. No way has 300 poohs been collected in 2 days from just one paddock. I shall be looking at cctv to see who has possibly taken more than required. We should only need to fill the box up once a week . People expect there to be bags, if there isn't any, then the paddocks become dirty and it is not a pleasant experience. Please only use what bags you need .
On another note, we had reports of damaged fencing. Again, please report any damage, if seen, as soon as possible. It is to ensure the safety of the dogs. Thank you to the people who do respect our paddocks

It appears to be 4 way traffic lights at weldon roundabout. Huge linea of traffic. No idea why or how long they will be there but yesterday all day was horrific and lots of people late or missing slots here. Please allow extra time to arrive at the paddocks. Thank you

Apologies all. We have a water leak. We have been turning the water on/off all week to try to isolate the problem. We thought we had found it but I think we have more than one!!! So we shall continue turning water on/off today and probably this week. Until it's traced and fixed. The water had also been noted as cloudy, this is she. It is chlorine that was used to flush the pipes . Thank you for your patience.

Can I just re-iterate 2 points.
1. It is impossible to double book a paddock. If someone is in the paddock at the same time, then someone is wrong. Either at wrong paddock/ time/ date. In all the years its been booked using a live system.... we've had 1 error and it turns out 2 people were booking the exact slot at exactly the same time. But only 1 actually got charged. But that's 1 in many years. So if that happens.... call/message me. So I can sort what's happened at that time... 07818 090942

Did this happen to someone today? Can you let me know please

2. Lots of complaints this week about dog pooh. Especially paddock 2 you shouldn't need reminding, however it is your responsibility to walk with your dog... regardless of the weather... and collect their mess. And report any damage!!!
Thank you
