The same Club, just better...

Has anyone tried puting the "stickers" on their caraven (trailer or motor) window yet?  With many manufacturers having used a brown tint to the plastic for many years I wonder if the logo will actually show at all. It certainly does not show through the ugly kid factory tint glass in my Land Rover.

But just look at the high number of non-regular posters that are so incensed with the change and the expense thereof that they have felt compelled to vent their feeling. I don't see an equal number of people that are happy coming on here to confirm that.

The Club Council consists of nominated members who make decisions on our behalf. See here

Just for the record then - I'm happy.

I like the logo and I have no objection to the change of name.  I pay my 49 quid a year to have access to club sites an CL sites. For that small fee, I do not expect to be consulted on decisions such as this. I certainly do not wish anyone to resign nor do I see any reason for them to do so. I am happy with club's statement much earlier in this thread regarding the way that this has been financed.

I believe that the club has 800,000 members? If half of those are associate/partners of members, that still gives 400,00. If we assume that all 1600 posts on this thread are from seperate members and that they are all opposed to this change, that still leaves a large proportion of members who do not object (or simply do not care).

Ours are in the bin. Don't put stickers on our vehicles.

Do you think it was thought through 😉

It seems a very small proportion of members are against the rebranding judging by the amount of posts in relation to the numbers of members, no way if knowing what people think away from the forum..... apart from asking them via email perhaps or on a survey that is often sent out .... maybe that would be a good idea by the club. Then they would know if it's a good idea. I suspect they will do it at some point  

 

as previously said I think it's a good idea to rebrand.

Hi Ian,

Sorry for the delayed response, must have missed your post.

Whilst I don't have exact numbers, the costs are being met from normal trading expenses.  It is affordable and will not affect any of The Club’s plans for investment in sites or club services.  Many of the costs are in consumable items such as uniforms, signage and so on which need replacing on an ongoing basis in any case. We have delayed the launch of the sites directory and handbook (which will be distributed this month) for example to make sure that this has the new branding for all of its two year life and so there has been no extra costs incurred.

We expect that the new brand will generate a higher profile and increased interest for the Club which will improve membership recruitment and retention and increase usage of club services so that the Club is even more successful in the future than it is now. 

With regards to the abbreviation, we're using CAMC

I very much doubt it
