For the last 35 years I have collected and proudly displayed the CARAVAN CLUB site plaques, so far 58 of them.(yes I know it's a bit sad, but I do). With the name change I presume the style will change. Please don't tell me the base colour will be white! It will look totally out of place in my caravan. Bet the price goes up as well.

Plaques are so well-established and popular with grass-roots members that they must surely have been considered as part of the re-branding.

My personal preference would be to have a similar size and shape so that the new version is not totally out of place in our collections, but produce them with magnetic backs so that they can double-up as fridge-magnets. 
Magnetic versions would be no thicker than the existing plaques, so they could still be glued to display boards if that is your preference.

I was thinking of having some made for our CL but it would be sensible to wait until the new design is announced.

Bet you 10p Ian they never even thought about site plaques.

Having been well spooked out by Navigateur's comment I contacted the Club by their Live Chat facility and communicated with Carole. Although she could not help with my enquiry, will the site plaques still be available, she said she would forward my concerns to the correct department and they would phone me the next day.

That was 7 days ago. I'm still waiting for the ring back call.

Are they on the same time zone as the rest of us? 😂

Maybe it's another thing that hasn't been thought through 😉

Can just imagine the conversation, "What's a site Plaque?"

We are currently at Blackshaw Moor.  New to caravanning so only have a few plaques thus far, tried to buy one here but were told they have the old green ones but aren't allowed to sell us one of those now and they have none of the new ones in a yet.  Really messing with my OCD!
