The same Club, just better...

Site locations map not much different, thumbnail maps on site pages have colour changes no better/no worse for clarity.

No but it helps to explain perhaps the level of true information provided.

You may escape the chargrilling, SirB, as I used to be a caravanner until 3 years ago so I'm on the cusp really. I keep the old avatar so I can be seen to have a foot in each camp ...... and it confuses people.

There is life to be enjoyed but let us be glad that many have found a cause to fill the gap until COTY#2 comes along.

I was afraid of that regarding the map. 

Colours just for you ET

I think another one of the things that is not fully explained is when a motor caravan became a motor home? as even the chairman when we spoke to him on at Birmingham on wednesday was saying "we have to embrace all,and since the club voted to allow Motor Caravans to be admitted in 1962 there has been a big increase in their membership   

Now that the initial shock of the announcement has sunk in, you must wonder if any of the Club's hierarchy has any experience of the Management of Change. Even the most casual knowledge of the subject, such as the principles of Lewin's or Cotter's change models to name just two, would have resulted in there being dialogue with the membership, as principal stakeholders, to explain the need for change.  After all, they are why the Club exists – aren’t they?  Moreover, even after the fait accompli, there has been no rational explanation from the management for the need to 'rebrand', what the tangible benefits are going to be or how success is going to be measured.  After all, you are not going to spend millions of pounds on a rebranding exercise unless you've decided what you want to achieve - surely?

The latest magazine has just come through the membership's letterboxes and I would have thought that it would have been the ideal place for the Chairman to have explained the reasoning behind these expensive changes, but no, nothing.  So the edict for change has been passed down like a tablet of stone to the general membership, in which case the Club's hierarchy won’t be surprised if many voice their resentment.  I wait with interest for the AGM.

At first glance it looks like it might be a little better than the last one. I will reserve judgement however until I see it in the fleash so to speak. 

Not sure that the contrast is great however. 

A number of members found the last one hard to read and as the club listens to its members it will probably be fine won't it?? 

It's a very 'busy' map and the colours do blend rather than contrast, but I suppose each individual will see it differently.

Not even the new logo and the promise to Inspire, Simplify, Pioneer and to be Inclusive? 

Now there is a wonder and a surprise.

Did you explain the significance of the new and vital logo? If so could you explain it to the rest of us as the club seems unable to do so.
