Anyone knows about the 2008 situation concerning the usage of swimming pools?

Werner, I would think that once the ACO got the upper hand by banning them and enforcing the ban they will keep it up,come in Termie and KPY.

Screw em! Let's fight back. What are they going to do anyway, take the water back?

just take a old car - several tubes of bathroom sealant and alot of water = car swimming pool just like they did on Top Gear

I have no idea about the pools but I suspect that as the ACO are charged for all the water they use (eveybody is France is metered) that there will be a ban, but that it may be locally controlled, not by the gendarmes, as the water situation in general is much better now and there are no hosepipe restrictions etc at present.

The costs incurred by the ACO in the use of large amounts of water by a few will just be absorbed in increased camping ticket prices for all of us anyway, so I doubt if the ACO themselves will actually get stuffed by this, it will be us who pay in the end.

Cool. So I get my pool and everyone else has to pay for it. Win/win.  ;)

Does that mean we can all use it as we paid for it ;D

Absolutely. Although I wouldn't go in it after friday if I was you. My bowels tend to relax a bit on holiday  :-X

Thanks for sharing.

If were allowed pools, can a bring a boat?

If you turned up with your own bowser full of water, I wonder if they would allow you to fill a pool?

Just a thought....

Pools are banned full stop now. They do the tour of the campsite from time to time. However, if you can get away with it what the hell.

Thought ??? If it's the same weather as last year why bother?
