The same Club, just better...

I note the address bar for the website is still

www.caravanclub.co.uk 

😉

So one of the "frequently asked questions" is "were the members consulted?"

and your answer "based on your feedback and in consultation with your representatives on the Committee" - which just repeats the one in the FAQ - is just a wriggly squirmy way of spinning "no". 

Some honesty wouldn't go amiss here.

I'm somewhat indifferent to the re-branding - in common with many re-brands it's always unclear whether it's /really/ going to make a difference - but it would have been nice to have known before turning up at the NEC and thinking "caravan and motorhome club? who are they?" and then realising that despite being a member I knew naff-all about what was going on in my own club.  And this has clearly been in the pipeline for a long time.

Please respect your members - and remember that you work for us.

If the club has paid a designer for this logo the whole board wants firing it's absolutely awful , my 6 year old couldve designed better ... I like all your sites wherever we go but please GET REAL THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY IMAGINE ALL THE SITE SIGNS YOUVE GOT TO CHANGE AT THE LEAST ! 

Uncletel......a motorhome is a caravan with an engine !

Good job fuzzypaws

Is there anything in rules about members calling at extraordinary AGM to discuss an immediate issue, rather than waiting for AGM which would lose immediate impetus

thanks

Seriously think you should organise a proper vote ref this and then we can accept the decision of the members

Don't do that, send it to me instead. I'll put it on my other car

Really disappointed with this marketing driven thinking from East Grinstead.  You've only just changed the colour of all the signs! Is it part of a larger corporate restructuring plan? 

I remain to be convinced about member feedback being the driver as I can't recall being surveyed. All I want is an efficiently run organisation that provides a consistent quality of sites and services at a reasonable cost. Please focus on the essentials and the rest will come.

Would you consider emailing to ask for response on these points? It is blatantly obvious that there will be no defence of the decision on CT, or anywhere else. Only Rochelle fire fighting on behalf of management. I for one would be very grateful if you would.

Sorry to see we are no longer members of The Caravan Club. They have decided it is also a club for motorhomes. Each to their own but I have had a few stays totally spoilt after happily setting up amongst fellow caravaners only to go out for a day and return to find a huge, tall motorhome alongside, blocking any view from side window etc. I might as well holiday in a motorway service area! Some are really large and almost too long for the pitches. Please can we now have separate areas on site so they don't tower over and dwarf our little caravans? On one site on the south coast, there were a few coach sized homes with hippy sycadelic painting all over them and the pullout awning reached the next pitch. Might as well have articulated lorries on site. If we are to get along, it would be nice if they parked thoughtfully and the Club reconsiders the layouts on site. We joined a club for caravaners, they have moved the goalpost. I understand they want to cash in on the motorhome population but it should never be to the cost of the original members and loyal supporters. Please make proper space for these tall vehicles. Thank you.
