Wasting money

Lots of threads- well at least a couple, plenty of comments to read and digest.

My wife and I have been Caravan Club members on and off for the past 40 years, our current stint is for the past 11 years, but we have found that a lot of the Caravan Club (Now Caravan & Motorhome Club) sites have become very regimented, whilst we appreciate rules and regulations have to exist, we have found that some wardens can be over strict.

On 4 occasions we have had run in's with wardens at a number of sites up and down the country, from one assistant warden telling us we were speeding at 3mph above the allotted 5mph limit (when we weren't, I am always very careful about my speed when driving on site) , to a warden telling my wife not to let our dog walk on the grass, how else was she supposed to get the dog from the pitch to the road ?,I won't bore you with the other two stories.

Last year, on the advice of a family member we tried the Camping & Caravanning Club, and found it was like the Caravan Club used to be, relaxing and more of a happy go lucky attitude.

Therefore this year will be our last, and we will stick with the Camping & Caravanning Club. 

UUUmm I was wondering how much it cost a Marketing Guru for the new logo ?

Yes I must agree there are some Wardens who are a bit JOBSWORTH. I must say that most are very good . I must say that in the Q&A on the new logo and name change ,there was an item about trailer tents ,which I think are allowed on CC club sites ,and the reply terms us as CUSTOMERS    not members . I have thought for some time that we are thought of such .

Every company has to grow, the Caravan Club is no different.  The change of logo is a refreshing look to the 21st century especially with the growing European sites.

The club can not afford to stand still and we as members must not allow this.   More caravan's  motor home owner's want sites with serviced pitches in great locations and I must say that the club do need to look at some areas of the UK where there is a distinct lack of Club Sites but that is something to grow upon.

With the change of logo and inspiration behind this club may it continue, but don't forget you as members make this club.     

I cannot remember seeing the results of the feedback survey asking for a change in name and logo in the club magazine, when was these results published?

Thanks for your feedback, as this isn't strictly a 'story' I'll be closing this and moving to Club Membership.

There is so much fuss going on about very little while around us Rome, or the forum, burns. Still a way to go, Rochelle.
