The same Club, just better...

Oh deep joy. The post has brought me a new sticker. But still no bloody handbook! 

Can no one at HQ spell      "p r I o r I t I s e"?

I have however worked out the twisted logic between the envelope with the old logo and the new branded stuff inside. Two fold:

1. Had something arrived in our household (most households?) with the new virtually meaningless logo on the front it would have been filed in "bin" unopened.

2. It uses up a vast quantity of now defunct stationary, no doubt someone has decreed in a legitimate manner. Thereby a cost saving exercise, that will win the support of members.

I would have been happy having mine sent out with my so far mythical handbook! (But it comes from another place, bleats HQ)

For more than fifty years we’ve been the Caravan and Motorhome Club in everything but name. This is not about favouring one group over another, it’s about embracing our inclusiveness and making sure we better reflect the diversity of our Club. That way, we can better meet the needs of all our members.

what a waste of money... But hey we get a lovely new Motorhome on the front page of the site book.. Welcome to the motorhome club !!

You really will absolutely have to move with the times and absolutely accept that the children who literally run and populate marketing departments these days are literally excited about this but literally cannot write in proper English instead you get a kind of txt spk with really really long sentences (not custodial types) and no punctuation anywhere at all 

What a waste of time and money! Why can't you leave things alone? The logo is pathetic and if you need to make a film to explain it surely it defeats the object. As far as i'm concerned I am still in the "Caravan Club". Sorry!

This is the first time I've spotted this particular moderator. 

Moderator edit: We had a bit of a blip with the website there, this has since been rectified.

Personally I don't have too much of a problem with the new name, in the same way I didn't have a problem (years ago) when the Camping Club, as it was then known, became the Camping and Caravanning Club to refect the growing numbers of caravans on their sites.

However, the logo is another matter. It is drab and anonymous and in no way shouts to the world that this club is about caravanning/motorhoming/trailer-tenting/tenting. As such it fails in its purpose.

On the other hand, the muddy brown colour does remind me of some of the rubbish muddy (grass?) pitches we have been offered in the past, so not a complete failure then

I doubt that many members are too worked up by the name change - needless as many may see it. It is more the way that the operation was carried out. Nowt too new there then. Existing members made to wait for a new bi-annual handbook so that the CC (as was) can announce the wondrous change at a time to suit its publicists whilst leaving rank and file members completely in the dark (nowt new there then - again).

The buzz words with no framework, let alone meat does probably P off many members it would seem (again - nowt new).

Any chance on advising the Membership that is so highly valued as to what the score is with Mildenhall??

 How very, very sad to learn that the club I joined over thirty years ago has a new name.

It was bad enough having to be parked on site next to a glorified camper van as big as my bungalow blocking out the light. Now I am told I am a member of the Caravan and Motorhome Club. I don't think so.

I shall not be renewing my membership this year. 

I think the club should be praised for being brave and biting the bullet to enable the club to move with the times and stay fresh.

Whimpy didn't change and where are they now?

Some members are posting threads asking why they were not consulted in this process?

The name change is neither here nor there but the quality of what you get on site visits is far more important IMO.

So,  the simple answer to get what you need is to complete the surveys emailed to you after visiting sites, this is your opportunity to have your say ! If you do not complete the surveys then how can you complain?

You will find that these surveys will become more comprehensive and the relevant sites will be given the results, this will enable the site to develop and enhance our visits....
