My personal opinion is that if you make a rule, enforce the rule. That way there is no question as to what is permitted and what is expected, and conflict is less likely to ensue
We have lived here for 20 plus years and "saving" seats has always been a problem. We started taking our own chairs when going to the squares after one Cinco de Mayo celebration at Spanish Springs. There was a large section of seats roped off for the "Spanish" Club, with only a handful of seats ever used. Event planning would not let anyone use the chairs which were never used all night long. I really hope that someone starts enforcing this rule so there is equal opportunity for all, especially for residents who pay amenity fees. When The Villages started advertising all the areas being open to the general public, we saw a great increase in problems which still exist to this day.
