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:

This is the worst logo change since British Airways!!!  Anyone else remember Mrs Thatcher covering the tail of a model air plane & bending the ear of a B.A. manger?

Also what about the Centres, I trust HQ will be paying for New Flags, stationary etc.,  have rally plaques got to be bigger to get the new name on?   This really hasn't been thought through, please tell me its April 1st

I had the same thoughts myself earlier.  The flag went back on the planes

 Maybe it should have been re-branded as the Intrepid Explorers Club??

Granville says ''We don't know yet what the next generation of explorers will look like, but we'll be ready for them."

Nick Lomas Director General says ''now it's time to get ready for the next generation of explorers.''

The Director of Marketing says ''We want to encourage more explorers, adventurers and pioneers to join us''

So will that mean sites on Mars with exchange visits from the locals?

The Executive Committee were fully involved in the decision and the project, and are fully on board with this change

Clear indication then that it's time to get rid of this self-seeking empire building bunch of buffoons who have presided over two separate fiascos in the space of three months.

Agree about the chairman.  Says he has been in post 25 years.  That is many years too long.  We need fresh blood with new ideas not somebody who is stale and well past his use by date.

Is that true? The same Chairman for 25 years? WOW, time for a change.

Based on past performance I think that the far side of France will be the new limits....so that the new explorers can look over the borders to all those other countries!

Oh come on you miserable lot: what's the matter with you? Times change and so must organisations, in order to keep up, if not ahead, of the competition. Well done CMC (although, according to my  building brain, that means the Cement Marketing Company!)

 CMC, oh the irony, it's also the abreviated name of my employer and what we are known as by a number of our motor manufacturers.

Also makes up almost 50% of our web address

Its very sad to read such negative posts from members regarding such a positive cultural step forward.

Open your eyes, the world has changed significantly and this club is way behind in adapting to these changes. The heritage of the club must always be respected but culturally in 2017 it has to move on. Developing a more open and inclusive approach which appeals to a far wider membership is way more important for the clubs long term survival.

As an alternative to pointless negativity, existing members need to embrace this fresh approach and help build a modern club that meets the needs of ALL from across the whole of the UK and beyond.

Very sad to see money has been wasted on a re-brand of the Caravan Club. Does anyone else think that the new logo is ugly?  

Posted on 21/02/2017 21:39

As a fully paid up member of THE Caravan Club for the last 40 years I object to the imposition of a change of name of  the CLUB without any consultation!!!!!!No one asked me if i minded!!!!!surprised

Just a couple of questions. I don't really expect answers after all I am only a member. 

Do you think that this change will halt the precipitous fall in membership that has been seen in the last few years?

One of the main aims is to make the organisation more inclusive.

What steps are going to be taken to make it more inclusive?

And

Specifically what groups have been previously been excluded?  Please feel free to answer in terms of Age, sex, Sexual orientation, Ethnicity, geographical location indeed any other group of individuals whose demographic you feel the organisation should move to embrace.
