The same Club, just better...

Wasn't it inevitable that any change would be met with this sort of general response? This is CT.

I had to attend a funeral in Southampton yesterday so missed all the fun and quite honestly can't be bothered to read through 500 plus posts if the sample which I have read so far is anything to go by.

I welcome the change of name as it is more inclusive although the proof of that inclusivity will be how we see facilities for motorhomes on sites improved in the immediate to near future, waste disposal points being one which should be treated as a priority.

In terms of costs it will be expensive but for such a big change that has to be expected. I like to think of the Club as a professional organisation and if you are going to embark on such a change it can't be done on the cheap and I expect it has to be done upfront rather than spread over a period of time so the message gets across clearly. 

I also don't understand this silly argument about whether it is a motorhome of a motor caravan. As far as I know motor caravan is a term that is hardly ever used. The likes of Swift, Bailey and Auto-Trail make motorhomes. The longest running motorhome magazine is called Motorhome Monthly so it is a complete red herring to question the name used by the Club.

Whilst it's good to see so many new members contributing to this discussion I do find it disappointing that so many first time posters seem to use the opportunity to complain rather than being positive or objective in their comments. Club Together is meant to be a community of members to share and acquire knowledge and provide feedback not just a place to complain. 

Whilst I might have a nostalgic attachment towards the old Club name  I am equally convinced that changing the name to the Caravan and Motorhome Club is the right decision. It will be costly but it is the right decision.

We ought to move with the times is a fatuous comment and the bolt hole of everyone who wants change for change sake.  Let's just concentrate on what we do do and not initiate a distraction from the true purpose of the club.

I have checked my copy of the Oxford dictionary and the word "Motorhome" is not in the dictionary as it is referred to as a Motor CARAVAN!
