The same Club, just better...

Only one I received was following December break at Southport over Christmas

As a motorhomer I would have preferred money to have been spent giving members free wifi on sites rather than money spent on name and logo.  As a regular visitor to France it is very rare to have to pay for wifi.

The club installed a new play area at Ferry Meadows, I was not consulted and I bet that cost as much as the new logo if not more.  If I was consulted then I may have objected.  The club does not have to consult everyone on everything it does, in fact if it did nothing would happen as we all want different things.  The board are charged with moving the club forward, increasing membership, facilities etc. and are elected to make decisions.

Uniform, fences etc. can be renewed as they wear out or get repainted in the mainainence cycle, no doubt HO have been running down stocks of old stationary in readiness for the change so overall the cost is not huge and will be taken up as a revenue expense in the normal course of things. 

Nor me! I don't get emails reminding me of forthcoming bookings, surveys after stays, or even asking my views on  possible rebranding! (Laughing smiley)

No doubt that the new playground will have servd a usefull facility for some members.

Also very rare to have it piped to your pitch, most sites I have been on it means going to an area around reception or the bar, not a big deal but the cost of installing all the masts on site must cost.  Personally we bought the £25 annual option and do not think that too much of a cost but I do think they need to get the providers to up their game in the bandwidth available, even a 4G signal on site would offer a better solution than some of the slow speeds you get in the countryside via BT.

What a sad day. After 110 years the club has changed its name without any mention in the magazine to get the members views. As it's already been said it's a world recognised name, a respect name and now its binned in favour of political correctness. To me, and I expect a lot of people it will always be the Caravan Club. 

Que? the logo is nothing like the Caernarvonshire and Anglesey Motor Club's  http://www.camconline.co.uk/ 

I look forward to reading about the pitching rules, which are geared to car, caravan and awning being revised to something appropriate for Motorhomes and Campervans.

I don't recall being consulted and it has the potential to be a dreaful waste of money.

I worked for an organisation for 40 years, it was called the Post Office; one day we were told that the business was to be re-branded as Consignia, at a cost of £5M. How long did that last? It cost even more to "un-brand" it back. We always found it ironic that the new logo looked exactly like a pliu-hole; which were all the money went.

This new Club logo is dire in the extreme.

Rebranding?  waste of money.  If motorhomers don't realise the Caravan Club is for them, too bad.  What it will do, most probably, is to discourage tent owners to join/continue membership of the club.  If the name of the club had to be changed, why were they not included?   

The first I heard of the change was receipt of the stickers - which I nearly binned, until curiosity made me come on line to check.  Was the membership consulted?
