Been away for a long weekend in the van on a CL.

We passed 2 club sites and 2 other cl's on the way to our destination, none of which were showing any form of the new signage.

Rebranding's going well then wink

"The place has heaving with kids, enough to make up football teams."

 

Is that seriously what you wish for....??

I can't think of anything worse, and I'm not that old, we still have teenagers at home.....!

Yes it suited us fine being child free but I was thinking of the bigger picture. The club spent oodles on a new name  but seem go have forgotten the basics again, Where do the new members come from?

I'm not sure that filling a site with screaming kids will do much to boost long term membership, or even that the club is struggling to attract members........ is it.....??   Certainly the sites always seem fairly full to me, I was on two club sites last week and both were full.....

If I think about why we joined, years ago, it was because neither of us particulary likes "package" holidays with the crowds of people, we had a dog when first married before the kids came along and caravanning offered peace & quiet in the country with plenty of dog walks......

Trying too hard to attract loads of kids may drive away as many people as it attracts, and as has already been said, kids(families) come for weekends & school holidays, the rest of us are around midweek & out of school hols......as Ian has already said, I know who's custom I would want to retain if it was my business........

Will be gong to Haven on Tuesday (£11 per night Euro pitch) and it will only have adults and mostly CC members, so during the slack period even us OAP shun club sites.

I am off to 3 more Club sites in a week, but am very confident I won't be on my own, or anything like it........wink

We have just returned from the New Forest site, the very large signs by the entrance have been turned around with very small new CMHC signs in the fake wood style of the 1960s. Has anybody else notice the new childlike signs around the site? Some in the corporate Sainsbury's colours, some in a washed out teal and others in a bright green.  We are now told to watch out as "rabbits are at work" and that we must not fly our jet packs around the loo blocks, that one was a shame as I had mine in the back of the Aston Martincool and of course we are now reminded to have fun in the children's play area and to take a ball for the dog to play with! What have we become I ask myself. On a final note I just love the Wardens mismatched uniforms the green an burgundy go so well together.

If they do increase the membership of those with young families does the club have the capacity at peak times to cope as it already appears to be hard to find a pitch during bank holidays and school holidays. 

We are doing our bit by avoiding these dates innocent

Not now  allowed to criticise the rebrand according to the  May Mag. It was all thought out by the overpaid tea drinkers at HO. Forget what the members want  ie more sites, cheaper  bookings.  All that is relegated to the long  grass by the ego trips.
