The same Club, just better...

Last year I suggested that  a grab handrail be installed in ALL shower cubicles and not be restricted to disabled ones as it was difficult to identify one that had been fitted for use by the disabled.  I was given short shift by the club.  I now see they're to spend thousands on all this new logo/name nonsense and, despite their comments to the contrary, we know it will come out of our subs. eventually.

Is the nationwide wi-fi to be free or is this just another smokescreen to justify the outlay?

I don't recall being consulted by anyone and it was the same over the grab rails.  I was told that members didn't want them!

Renewal of membership not certain here after 35 years.

Are we reading the same thread Dave?

We were thinking of touring the Lake District but find that some sites do not have shower blocks.

Sounds like two of my favourite sites - mind you we do have facilities onboard. 

Not sure if this has already been asked sorry if it has

If the new logo is going to make us all get inspired to get out and use more club sites, and encourage lots of new members, where are we all going to stay?

It seems to me that finding space at short notice is becoming a thing of the past, surely the money would be better spent buying new sites either existing or from scratch sites.  Sites that are not 10 miles from the place they are advertised as being at.

If like the PR talk says it is to encourage new motorhome members then something needs to be done to increase the network

I think todays announcement has just made people think what is my membership money being used for?

I've just got to post again, I love it, love it, love it and I've got to say loving the reactions. When I suggested this all those years ago there was almost a lynching. hahahahahaha All my posts where always a little tongue in cheek which some people got and others had absolutely no comprehension. But this? This is going to out do Brexit and Trump added together! Oh thank you The car avan & MOTORHOME Club, you've made my day. All joking apart, it's a great name and if you're going to allow car avans on sites still why not include this in the club name ;-)

I'm guessing then, you won't be embracing the change of direction the Club is trying to achieve?

You think the Club should have continued on in the same way, until the day YOU decide to give up caravanning?

I don't think this rebrand is aimed at satisfying your personal needs and I suspect your not the only one reviewing your membership. As one who would like to see the Club develop into an organisation with broader appeal, the 'old school' won't be missed. 

 

Yes 'Fysh', I have no problem with it and can't understand why blood pressures are rising. I can still do all I want from the site irrespective of branding or colours, but do wish they would get behind the CL network and show its importance.

I'm a 'user' and that will continue until something better comes along.

We were in the "Caravan club" with our 1st trailer tent, our 2nd trailer tent, our 2 caravans and now onto our 2nd Motorhome....we didn't really bother 2 hoots about the name as long as we could be where we wanted when we wanted. Not sure if it warranted a name change must be a reason why unless there was lots of moaning from either camp about the name....if that was the case they have too much time on their hands ;)

As a motorhomer I am very happy to see Motorhomes finally incorporated into the name. I like the new logo too. It's modern and fresh. Well done to all involved. Just hope this is not going to cost us members by way of a hike in membership fees or even more expensive Site fees which we already find prohibitively expensive. Now everyone, let's get out there and start enjoying all those wonderful sites we pay for. 👍🚐😁

Something as big as a change in branding should have been voted on by the members, why were we were not asked our opinion? Because we would most likely have voted no to this unnecessary waste of money when we could have just added the Motorhome name in the club on stationary, signage etc when it needed replacement. changing a name does not make a jot of difference when you had such a great name before.  This decision is as another member suggested an ego trip. now we have lost the best clubs branding in the uk! Idiots!
