Hi Hayden,
Many thanks for your email - sent to my colleague Paul Jones who, unfortunately, is unable to reply to you directly as he is recovering from laughter belly-ache cramps.

I could explain in great detail the reason for banning milk churns on our campsites however it is clearly obvious you're not a member of the 1990 Milk Churn Appreciation Society, who         have set up a milk churn fetish colony somewhere on Jersey (adjacent to the Morris Dancers benevolent HQ - a very, very small building).

Seriously, in the past before we banned them, these churns were used by a certain faction of the  camping public as a crude canon to try and clobber aeroplanes landing at East Midlands Airport  -  the landing/take off flight path is close to the campsite area. I can't tell you exactly how it works because I know you won't be able to       resist the temptation to try it next time the Morris Dancers come to town. Sorry.

So rest assured there is a need for this and other security/stewarding measures for which the majority of campers understand and appreciate.

Hope you enjoy the British MotoGP and thanks for dropping in a bit of humour to our offices!
Regards,
Martin Quilliam
