The same Club, just better...

 Can't believe you think this is feasible. A whole new sewage system for EVERY pitch on EVERY site?  Don't you think Club prices are high enough?   Why do you think they now put wheels on porta-potti tanks?

Too much trouble  ?     Although, on second thoughts it could be a good idea, then those of us who find the filthy way some people leave the loos in the toilet blocks so disgusting might be able to avoid the confrontation.

Not in the slightest Ovaltiney. I am away 120 nights of the year (mainly on CC sites) and no worries at all.

We dislike stickers on any of our vehicles and definitely not on the caravan so straight into the recycling bin.

By the way how does having a sticker on a vehicle make your experience on a CC site any better??????

Over 20 years ago I toured California with a motor caravan and every pitch had full serviced including sewage connections. It took about two minutes to hook everything up. If you look at the economics how many kilometres of pipe work could be installed for the cost of a toilet block. Not to mention the cleaning costs. Young people today do not want deal with waste.

Maybe we all send the horrible stickers back to Head Office and let them see how we dislike them.......

Kind of annoyed that any negativity directed towards this re-branding exercise is being directed here. There's obviously a huge strength of feeling amongst our members about the approach, any push back being met with meaningless corporate type strap line responses.

Is anyone else miffed at the new logo and branding without consulting the paying members? I'm a new younger member and really loved the original logo and colours. Also unique selling point of the caravan club is its heritage and tradition embodied in the original logo.

Reminds me of when British Airways painted the aircraft tail wings with gaudy modern artwork. Big mistake I suggest...

Not just copyright, if a commercial enterprise wants to use images with recognisable faces, a model release needs to be obtained.

Take a look at the images on the C&CC website, there is a model release for each and every one of those adults and children featured. 

Not simple to obtain lifestyle images like this, nor cheap, but they are extremely effective. Far more effective than a generic view of a bunch of white boxes in a field

Sorry to see we are no longer members of The Caravan Club. They have decided it is also a club for motorhomes. Each to their own but I have had a few stays totally spoilt after happily setting up amongst fellow caravaners only to go out for a day and return to find a huge, tall motorhome alongside, blocking any view from side window etc. I might as well holiday in a motorway service area! Some are really large and almost too long for the pitches. Please can we now have separate areas on site so they don't tower over and dwarf our little caravans? On one site on the south coast, there were a few coach sized homes with hippy sycadelic painting all over them and the pullout awning reached the next pitch. Might as well have articulated lorries on site. If we are to get along, it would be nice if they parked thoughtfully and the Club reconsiders the layouts on site. We joined a club for caravaners, they have moved the goalpost. I understand they want to cash in on the motorhome population but it should never be to the cost of the original members and loyal supporters. Please make proper space for these tall vehicles. Thank you.
