The same Club, just better...

Common sense prevails, a well put post.

To those beating their drums about not being consulted, if the committee, management however you want to refer to the big chiefs at head office, had asked the opinion of each and every member, what do you think they would have ended up with? A massive pile of conflicting opinion and ideas on how things can be done better, thats what.

The other 'club' have seen huge increases in membership in the last couple of years as a result of fresh marketing and appealing directly to new vehicle owners and at the same time, pushing themselves as advocates for outdoor leisure. In more recent times, the Caravan Club portrayed itself as an elitist organisation appealing to the 'old guard'. 

The numbers who commented not that long ago on how the COTY television programme did nothing for the image of the Caravan Club have been heard. Times are a changing, and if the CC had continued along the same path, it would have eventually died. 

I am sure it wont change the mental bias against motorhomers! I well remember my father complaining about the way motorhomers were banned many years ago. One of the reasons given at an AGM is that those who own motorhomes are the type of person who eats peas from the back of their knife!

I dislike the rebranding as it wasn't necessary in my view. There are many issues which the club haven't resolved and promised they would, such as changing ICONs on booking system, improving CL booking. Please concentrate on the basics first. There was nothing wrong with the old logo and colours

I have to say that the remarks in this post justifies the change. The fact that it was originally for caravaners in 1907, doesn't mean to say it can stay being just for caravaners in 2017. Of course it has to change. The world has changed. Motorhome registrations are on the increase and it will be of benefit to all of us if we attract new members. I welcome the new name as a way of doing that.And hard standings are essential for motorhomes in wet conditions so you may have to get used to them

There is a new sign already in place on the exit to at least one of our local sites

As Treasurer of a club and therefore on the committee, we as committee members can only recommend a decision to the members and the members make the final decision. This change of logo and name has been done without the members authority and I for one cannot remember being asked anything about changing the name or logo.

By the time the club has changed all its stationary, signage and the workwear for the staff all that money could have been better spent on site facilities. And don't forget the money wasted on throwing the un-used uniforms away.

To me a bad decision!

CASH MOTIVATED CLUB.

Honest name change.

Interesting to read the comments on this rebranding change. It.appears that a lot of members, including me are not particularly in favour. I run a motor home but as a C class it can equally well be called a motorcaravan, so Caravan Club is preferred by me. I think the whole exercise is a total waste of money, basically funded from our membership and site fees. Money could easily have been better spent elsewhere or don't spend it at all and keep fee increases down. Finally, did the CC not change all the site signage to a different shade and altered wording very recently? Perhaps in last 2 years

Here is an idea fellow members, why don't we propose a members FERERENDUM to decide the issue. This is not a joke

Is it 1st April?

Good job well done. 

As for those members who ask that the members should have been notified - what a load of Tosh.  This is why we elect a team of professionals.to work on our behalf. We may moan from time to time but they all have the best of intentions for the club.
