The area you are talking about, Ray, has been a football pitch as long as I have lived here which I won't divulge here! The basket ball and skate board area are relatively new.

The camping area is the other football pitch (as it was before I'm sure) which is over the bridge to the right of the area you are talking about, near the sandy parking area as distinct from the tarmac car park by the baths. It is the pitch that is nearer to Holmfirth and next to the Cricket Club.

Campers and caravans will be to the left of this pitch down the side of the river where the Caravan Club vans go now. The swimming pool car park would be pretty full at 10.30 on a Saturday morning as there would probably be a couple of football matches on but by May they should be all over.

Cars will be parked away from the camping area to ensure that all the space is used for tents rather than vehicles.

I do hope this has cleared matters up rather than caused more confusion - I'd draw a little picture if I could.

And if you were in Holmfirth, Ray, why didn't you call in for a coffee?
