Welcome to the Caravan and Motorhome Club.

Ever since we came together as a group of outdoor enthusiasts 110 years ago, our Club has continued on a journey of discovery. It's time for us to make some changes for the better by redefining who we are to help you get the most of the great outdoors.

I’m sure you all have lots of questions, please post your feedback and queries in this thread.

 

What does our new logo mean? We created a video to explain how we created it:

But will the wifi service get better?  Looks like the new logo could be adapted to be used as a signal booster!!

Please look at the reasons behind the name and logo change and FOUR VALUES

Inspire

Simplify

Puoneer

Inclusive

The process is NOT to pander to Motorhome owners but an attempt to set the Club up for the future.

Failure to realise the wider objective simply restricts our appreciation of what the Club is trying to do.

Lip service to a value achieves precisely the square route of nowt. It is not the word that matters at the end of the day it is the actions.

I feel disappointed with this news...I see it as unnecessary expense with all the rebranding etc. Having been members of the 'Caravan Club' for 17 years we've never had any issue with the club until this year. Firstly the website has been messed up; we've not had the new directory to consult with regards to planning our holidays and we've experienced difficulty using the website to book breaks. We tried booking Haycraft in Swanage for 9 nights a couple of weeks ago but the website wouldn't let us. We then searched alternative sites locally and found one for nearly £100 cheaper for the duration. I feel the organisation's time, effort and money is not being used for the benefit of its so-called members.

Loving the name change! A memorable day and a victory in the battle against Motorhomerphobia! Phase one is now completed and phase two "The Motorhome & Caravan Club" name change is surely just around the corner. Our first post over four years ago suggested this and received much abuse. I haven't been on here for years but just couldn't let the memorable moment go un-marked/posted. Well done the Motorhome and Caravan Club!

But that wouldn't be in alphabetical order!

Why has this change been made with-out reference to the members of what is supposed to be a MEMBERS CLUB? I have heard nothing until today's email!

The Caravan Club is world renowned as the premier club of it's type, the new name will mean nothing to all those millions who recognised the Caravan Club.

On top of this is the cost.  How many millions of our (ie the membership's) money is the rebranding going to cost,  new stationary, signage for Club sites and C.L.s. etc, etc, etc.

Having been a member for over 35 years I cannot understand why this is necessary, and I suspect from the secrecy shown those at East Grinstead know that if the membership had been consulted, as they should have been, they would have been told where to stick such a ridiculous idea.

The Club should be run for the MEMBERS by the MEMBERS, not some  committees trying to justify their own existence. 

My membership is under review.

Hi JVB,

The change in name and logo were based on your feedback and in consultation with your representatives on the Committee. Together, we’re embarking on a journey of investment in the future of our Club.

What a load of PR speak! I'm not embarking on any kind of "journey" of "investment" in the future with a Name change and Logo change! As the original post says wasting thousands of pounds on something which dilutes the proud name of the Caravan Club. How is this investing in the future? I haven't seen any explanation what this is going to do for our club?

Sorry but re-branding is just an ego trip for consultants and paid top staff. It will bring no tangible benefits to members and will cost an absolute fortune that could be better spent on club sites, especially keeping some of the smaller ones open. It is also  the first I have heard of this anywhere, if it was ever mentioned in the Club Magazine it must have been hidden somewhere. Consultation with members non existent.

One or two negative comments from people unknown, but seems to be accepted as a great move forward cool Well done C&MC.
