The same Club, just better...

It's quite trivial. Why get in a state about it? Please don't encourage the Club to spend more of our money on an enquiry/investigation/autopsy into the matter. Anyway, all things change, it's evolution, or do you still watch a black & white TV? 

As many others have already said, it's not merely the change itself that members are not happy with, but the way it's been done with huge publicity expenses, and also huge expenses for changing signs, stationery, uniforms, etc., etc., - and the unforeseen expenses for CLs, District Associations, etc..

 Agreed! I didn't previously know that this forum even existed!

Giving our views on the whole shoddy episode is not necessarily the same as getting into a state.

Being treated like mushrooms is hardly anything new and so why would people get into a state? 

This has been addressed several times already.  The Club is NOT a regular business.  Do you pay a joining fee and an annual membership fee to all the businesses you deal with?

Well, as a motorhomer, it's about time. The Caravan Club name did intimate it was just for caravans.

As someone who has run a business I know from experience 90% of people will say I hate it , what a waste of money and then 2 months later say actually the new logo is far better we were just so used to the old one which did look out of date.

Well done for taking a decision they probably knew would be unpopular.

This all seems a bit like the purchase of the Alan Rogers Organisation to broaden the reach of the Caravan Clu.... oops Caravan and Motorhome Club overseas. Alan Rogers' had changed their logo quite recently before the take over and look what has happened to them. The Guides to Europe were wound up and effectively finished the Alan Rogers existence. I believe millions of CC oops CAMC! funds were used on this failed "adventure". Camping Cheque which was part of the Alan Rogers remit and a temptation for Caravan Club in the aquisition of AR, has become Camping Travel Club but interestingly retained the Camping Cheque logo for and there are signs that it is struggling to compete, the cheques by 2018 exist any more and the method of setting fees for sites in the Guides is closer to ACSI with various levels. I can't quite understand the move to compete as a Club with other organisations offering the Europe and Worldwide services, rather than concentrating on keeping prices low for members on the maintained sites and making the booking and websire process efficient. I have and retain membership of CAMC, C&CC, Camping Cheque and ACSI useful in our adventures. A look at the accounts of the UK Clubs shows that C&CC seem more successful at their Overseas Travel services perhaps? Perhaps better to make sure that Club sites which has been a service for members for 110 years is the real focus?

Just recieved my stickers. Not sure why they could not be sent out with the site book and save postage. I am not sure how many separate mailings ther are Wikipedia reckons close on 1 million members, so possibly 300,000. I also don't know how much the CAMC pay for their bulk mailings. However, even if we say only 20p ( we pay 55p 2nd class) inc the cost of the stickers, that works out at £60,000. Just for sending a sticker out. 😡 Unfortunately we will never be privy to the actual cost. When they are unable to keep sites open, that is just plain crazy.

Don't ask me but that poster seemed to be along with many others.

No doubt because the new books were already in store in their plastic wraps and probably had been for a long while!.
