The same Club, just better...

KennyG, I'm in full agreement with you. I noticed that on the front cover of the latest club magazine they have had the audacity to put 'Since 1907' under the new logo. Should this not read 'Since 2017'?

wont be re-joining dont like the new set up .

its not what i joined not what i want

Does anyone think that those in power will listen to what seems to be the overwhelming view of the membership concerning the logo i.e. it's horrendous?

Hi HD.

The club benefits because there are substantial numbers of members who only remain members to access the CL network.

We don't use club sites (well once or twice a year perhaps) but we do use CL's and take the specialist insurances only available to members. However on this last point the other club also have these insurances and by taking them rather than the CC insurance is how I intend to express my dissatisfaction, not by leaving the club.

I also think it's a poor show to tell people (not you HD) to just leave if they don't like it. Some of us not only have been members for a long time but have rather more backbone than to go off quietly into the night with our collective tails between out legs.

Sorry for plagiarising most of that last bit.

What "new set up"?

A new logo is not a new set up.

What new set up? Sites are the same, CL network still the same.Still get a magazine. 

As for stickers, why display them anyway? It's not as if they give you discounted parking or free entry to places of interest. If you don't like them, don't display them.

As for those members who believe they belong to a club or think that members are the club, it's no different to being a 'member' of a gym, you don't have any right to change the running of it, you just have access to their facilities.

Time to get over it and get on with it.

if the club really are looking to appeal to young families surely the money spent on this pointless rebrand could be spent on making more sites family friendly, more children's play areas perhaps games rooms, better wi-fi, also the money could be spent trying to get the prices of new caravans down as they are racing up to beyond working families pockets, seems to me to becoming a rich persons past time with a new car and caravan now heading north of forty grand, thus pushing up used prices beyond ordinary working families .

What about the diesel issue, i suspect a really large majority of caravaners tow with a diesel car what stance are the club going to take on this, are we all to try and tow with nissan leaf's pulling trailer tents, not listed in the rebrand, banning of some diesels could prohibit membership to the club altogether for some

Seems to me there are countless ways the money could have been spent rather than getting up the majority of members backs.

So why waste money, our money, on a pointless rebrand that it appears very few want.

I think you have promoted me above my station in life I don't know as a fact but logic suggests that site staff would have had to have had prior knowledge as they had to change signage of sites and it has been reported here they distributed goody bags on the morning to members on site to inform them of the change. Likewise I imagine the same would apply to HQ staff as so many elements of the various departments within the Club HQ would have had to prepare for the change. I repeat again I don't know any of that as fact or have insider knowledge but it would suggest if you follow the logic of the size of this sort of change that would be where it would take you. It's worth bearing in mind that whilst Club Staff are contractually tied to the Club in terms of confidentiality I expect CL owners are not.

Thinking of better ways of spending money and encouraging newer members, especially families, are the following summertime daily prices for two adults and two kids an attractive proposition?

New Forest   £40.40          Crystal Palace   £39.50
Black Knowl  £39.30          Brighton            £39.30
Pembrey       £39.00          Moreton-i-M      £37.60
Longleat       £37.40          Edinburgh         £34.80
Cheddar       £34.70          Exmoor House  £34.60

Yes, these are among the best and most expensive sites, and yes, there are many cheaper alternatives, but how about giving families a break and curbing the summer-time price premium. Can a family of four on a budget afford £565 for a couple of weeks in the New Forest in the school holidays?

In this day and age reasonable value IMO
