The same Club, just better...

Yaaaay post 1400!!!

I have just watched that new video on OP again. (Not the one that has to explain the logo, that's just naff) The one with the Richard Briers lookalike Grandad, lovingly holidaying with his son or daughter and their 2.2 children (I have imagined grandchild three is on its way, hence the 2.2!)

I am speculating here, but it shows a motorhome just before the film cuts to the Chairman and his brave new world speech. I am wondering if someone is now the proud owner of a motorhome, rather than a large caravan with the back end repaired............?

Not that it makes a difference to me of course, I have both, and a tent.

You are a keen observer like me TDA, I wondered the same! (And the RB look alike .)

Oh, yes, Phil. We've been going there for years and the wifi works! We'll use a few more of their sites as well. We find they tend to be in handier locations than CC's. 

As a trailer tent and campervan owner, I'm feeling excluded from the rebranded club. I understood the caravan club included all units with wheels. I remember being told by the Club when I joined 11 years ago that if you have wheels, you are welcome! Now it doesn't give the impression of embracing other units, which is a great shame. 

They're probably holding back the rebrand of the rebrand until next years show!Just hang on in there.

The club will undoubtedly spin this as the success of CT and how so many members are using it. Just wait and see.

Superb new look to the Club logo and web site and congrats to all for this move to recognise the changing membership and increase in Motorhomes. Can you please therefore review the MH service points on many sites as lifting a big heavy plate to access the grey waste point is hard work.  

Will the club compensate us for the 15,000 leaflets we have had printed all with the old logo and club name on them to advertsise our CL site here at Greetham Retreat CL in Lincolnshire.  These cost us over £500 and are now all inaccurate.  Why has the club not informed CL owners of the changes in advance?   To not give any advanced warnings to CL;'s many others will have letterheads, uniforms and other sighnage purchsesd for the new season by now and it will all be wrong and just a waste of money.  Its strange that all your own sites were aware before the announcment but no CL's had any idea what was proposed.  The new CL sign does not appear to even mention the 5 van limit which we allways comply with.   We will have vans turning up and just setting up and  making us break the law by exceeding 5 vans?  This has just not been thought through for the perspective of CL owners.  We are very disapointed with the lack of consideration and thought from the club to CL owners like us who thought we were partners enhancing members chioces and experiances on our sites.  Again would be very interested if you will compenste us the money we spent on advertising so that we can get a complete reprint with the correct logos and club name etc.

You didn't even tell CL's that you were changing the name. That is disgraceful. I hope they will all be compensated. If it wasn't too late I would have cancelled my membership; I do not intend to renew next year.
