we had no problem last year, when the lights were on from very early (possibly even as it got dark) to 10.30.
when we started playing at calthorpe again a couple of weeks ago for the winter season, they didn't switch on until 8.15ish (30-45 minutes *after *it got dark). then i called the park services and the pavillion manager, who wasn't at all helpful, and then it seemed they'd moved forward and are now on when we get there, but turn off really early (9.15ish).
it's totally illogical and infuriating.
we're going to try and work around things, but if it proves unmanageable, we'll get in touch with the council (via graham). i'm sure he personally is a nice guy, but i have zero faith in their ability to help us out, and it could backfire massively (bicycle ban) so it's last-ditch only.
