The same Club, just better...

I see no difference in needs apart from fresh and waste water, for these MH's need a drain to drive over and a tap they can attach a hose to, caravanners need a drain to tip a wastemaster into and a tap to sit the aquaroll under.  Apart from that the needs are the same, a flat level pitch, EHU, toilet/showers etc.

Why should club consult members on hoe the money should be spent, we would all have different ideas and nothing would get done, there are committees and boards to take care of that by elected members who you as a member elect.  rather like the government, we elect them to make decisions on our behalf and if we don't like it we kick them out after 4 or 5 years, if you think its all been a waste and you as a caravanner are being hard done by at the expense of motorhomers then you get a vote like the rest of us !!

You get a vote to elect the members of the board and committees, did you not exercise your right?

The history is still there, nothing has changed except the name and a logo and lets be honest the old one was crap anyway.

Whatever you think its here to stay so get over it and worry about something you may be able to change, but remember change suits some and not others and you will never get it 100% perfect for everyone.

I am not happy with the change of name. As a long time caravaner I find that motorhomes are dominating the sites and getting preferential treatment. There are sites with a view where tents with awnings are not allowed at the front  so they are filled up with huge motorhomes which  block out the view. It is most unfair if you are there for a week's holiday and the motorhomes come and go on short stays. Please give the caravans some rights back and not give all the best pitches to the motorhomes.

I see no benefit in the change. As an ex-motorhomer I was well aware that the organisation catered for all caravans with wheels even before I first used a motorhome. 

During this my second membership tenure I can see that there are far more important tasks to occupy the staff than this costly and so far incomplete rebranding exercise.

If you are talking white house beach I believe caravans are allowed on the front but not allowed to erect an awning.  I am not sure why this rule, maybe its safety or a condition of the site lease but it has been in place many years and is irrelevant to the new name.

As for best pitches form MH's, the good thing about the club is its first come first served so no one gets priority, the only exceptions I know are for registered disabled people are normally pitched near the facility blocks and for large/over sized units may be reserved a pitch to suit the size of vehicle and that can be either a MH or caravan.

I think one of the reasons for the change in name is the number of MH being sold now and the move towards them both by older people and youngsters who do not want to tow.  I know many dealers are struggling to get enough second hand MH's as they are taking in lots of caravans in PX but not MH's, though tat will no doubt level out once the current wave of buyers change to a new MH.

The future is bleak, sites will move over time to places nearer to bus routes and towns,all the caravan pitches will be taken by seasonal lets and statics with a few pods to fill the corners, the CL network will be left to dwindle down, I for one will never enter my caravan details into their computer, what about us all becoming motor-homers on paper at least it might stop the pitch allocation,👍

I don't see a problem with the Name & Logo change. Many businesses do this throughout their lifetime to better reflect what they actually do!!!!

Which planet do the club management live on! A bland boring logo - keep the old one.What a load of nonsense and and the change will cost a fortune, money better spent on keeping cost of sites/membership down and improving the booking website.

Hi Caravanbreak,

The Executive Commitee, who are Club members that are elected to represent the membership were fully involved in this project every step of the way.

The Committee have fully endorsed the changes we’re making. In fact, they were a vital part of this whole process, helping us better understand what our members want.

I for one will never enter my caravan details into their computer, what about us all becoming motor-homers on paper at least it might stop the pitch allocation,👍

What pitch allocation.  I only got a MH last June and every CC site I have been on since I take the choice of pitch available when I arrive just the same as I did when I had a caravan.
