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.

Posted on 14/03/2017 18:20 by HenzyWe 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!

May be they could not trust the makers wiTh "secrecy", hence the delay in production.. Seems to have been the stock answer to this fiasco. More likely they ran out of tea whilst the think tank was in session. Still making the sale/give away of the old ones a new low in the HO thinking.

Posted on 15/03/2017 06:43 by peedeeI think that is really daft, if they couldn't sell you one they should have just given it to you free after all it sounds as though they will just be thrown away.

We thought the same Peedee, my husband jovially said "oh go on sell us one of the green ones, you are bound to be chucking them anyway, we won't tell"! Warden politely refused. I guess rules are rules! I don't like waste and wonder what will happen to all those little green discs. I say keep selling them until they have run out.

When there was a query whether all the existing cc stock was being "binned" after this fiasco started ,a statement from HO via Rochelle stated that all existing stocks would be used before "new" was going to be used,so another "not thought out" cost for the members

I know we are being lighthearted about the plaques, but I guess we are not alone in wondering about the necessity of this rebranding and the potential costs down the line to members as a result of it? Only started caravanning last summer and have loved all the sites we have stayed out, got some great advice and help from members on the forum and have all in all found the CC to be excellent value for money. However, I can't help but be dismayed at the rebranding and the reason for it? Was it broken, did it require fixing?

Posted on 09/03/2017 14:38 by willbeeHaving 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.
,as the "younger families" that it is supposed to be aimed at will not Fill sites off peak ,and most sites, at times they will use them are mostly near capacity,and getting fewer
