The same Club, just better...

Well the biggest news for me with this re-brand is the exciting development and inspirational options afforded.

I can now use the club sites and go off fishing, exploring or even playing golf - wonderful and I only wish they had told me earlier. If I had known that what a difference it would have made to my caravanning with the club over the last 35 years. 

I must have missed out on so much!

I have not been caravanning very long, only 15 years. Over that period I think the Club has changed a great deal. I am not sure it is a club any more, but more and more a pseudo-commercial operation.

The sites are excellent, the wardens are superb and fellow members are great company, whatever set-up they have. But I see a leadership rather semi-detached from the membership and life on site. This re-branding exercise is a fine example. Of all the things that members would like to happen I guess re-branding was not high on the list.

In the real business world it is fatal to become detached from one's customers. Whist there is a very good case for running the Club in a business-like manner, there is no case for becoming detached from one's customers - the beating heart if the Club - its members.

So in the past you did not "explore"

Well the old useless club failed to inspire more people to enjoy the great outdoors it would seem as that is one of mainstays of the improved club.

CMC rolls off the tongue Nicely!

Continually Moaning Club

It features in three of the four values and as such makes me feel that I'm not the sort of explorer the club is after. 

I feel no connection with the new values. 

However if they don't ruin the sites, sort this website out and reconsider the issue of booking HS I may put my disconnection aside and stick around. I have until July to decide 

Have a look at Who owns the club thread there is a very interesting post on there ref CSMA

I totally agree. What a complete waste of funds. the membership should have been properly consulted, it was not!
