Ownership

Browser, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page, and under links you will find “about us”. It tells you how the Club is organised, the Committees, the salaried Staff, etc…. It doesn’t list salaries, or how much recompense committee members get, but at least you might be more informed than you sound at the moment, and can then ask for more information if you want to. Looking at the Recruitment pages will give you a bit more of an insight into how things are structured as well. Hope this helps.

The Caravan and Motorhome Club, if you remove site and call centre staff from the equation, it is not a particularly large organisation. Some roles within the organisation will have comparatives in the commercial world outside the Club which would mean it is relatively easy to establish levels of remuneration which will always be down to the "market rate". For more specialist roles which might be more unique to the Club I am sure they  would engage HR Consultancies to establish a rate of pay to attract someone who would meet the criterion required where there is no direct similar role. 

Whilst we can have a opinion an individuals performance, often misinformed, I am sure there is some sort of review/appraisal system within the organisation to monitor such performance?

Or just hand the post to one of their cronies, as appears to have happened in the past.

Is there evidence of that? Given the almost unique position of the Club structure it could well be that an insider might be the best candidate as they "know" the organisation. The Club seem to have a dual authority, the Management Executive and the Club's "Democratic" side. I am not sufficiently up on how it all works but I did work for an organisation with a sort of similar set up.

I had heard you were a fun guy!

It's run by quite a few middle class white men.  They hold these official dinners to which they take their wives - the twin set and pearls brigade.  They're the type that would sooner look away than say "good morning" to you as you pass them on the way to the shower block in a morning.

Diversity - in its many forms - has barely touched it.

I often wonder why wardens nearly always are husband and wife pairs?  I imagine there are quite a few single people who would love the job of a warden but I can't say I've seen that before.  Likewise, in the years I've been a member and all the Club sites I've visited, I've never seen a person of colour as a warden or, as far as I know, a gay couple as in a pair of wardens of the same sex!

The Club appears to be a very British stiff upper lip institution.

mbee, just for your information, there are many same sex couple out on the sites network, as well as people of a different race. This goes back at least to when I started 12 years ago.The club employs people of any race, colour or sex. They don't discriminate in any way. Site staff usually work as a couple so it's obviously easier to employ them as such. There are as it goes lots of roles on sites for single people. I think your opinion seems to be very blinkered (in my opinion).

Not blinkered JK but it's something I've never knowingly come across. It is, however, predominantly white middle class. That's the nature of the hobby though I suppose.

Blimey, me, white middle class

It is indeed the nature of the hobby, how many vanners do you see as you described in your previous post?

JK

I have encountered single wardens and same sex couple wardens.

Perhaps the majority are mixed gender couple wardens because that is representative of our society as a whole. Once upon a time Ford Fiestas were the cars most often stolen. They were also the most popular cars on the road. It demonstrates the same principle.
