I never heard anything about a consultation I hate when companies and organisations say this and you never hear about it until it's done. I suppose if you don't belong to a centre you will never hear about it

Strictly speaking, there was no specific consultation, but the decision to rebrand was based on the result of several surveys over a period of time and the developmental ideas at EG. I guess some of the surveys even go back to a few years ago when we could sign up to receive regular surveys from the Club.  I'm sure many will remember these.

I think there has been a useful discussion on this thread which may give the Club some ideas on the way forward and especially discussion which could help in encouraging new/younger members which we must do without destroying what we can offer to our existing members.

Just been back home on hour from work and just went online mmmm well I from what I can see there is some snobbery and all so some very down to earth people all so some very chilled out older members which I love to see on site. But I can still see a lot of unhappy members on hear just wish the board was not so set in there ways but last thing from me is I really do hope we all move on and think about why we all joined the club  I all so hope some one on the board reads some of what the members write on hear as I think it may help things all so I know the the moderators are giving up there time to try to help do please do not be rude to them .well I am off to bed soon as I have work in the morning.

I may have the terminology wrong here, but it is my understanding that Caravan Club Ltd is the legal title of the company and that the Caravan and Motorhome club is a sub group/ working title.

Hope this helps.

On the subject of snobbery some thirty five years ago when we were wondering which club to join I asked a member of the Camping and Caravan Club what was the difference between the two. His answer was that in his club you would be invited round for a beer and in the Caravan Club you would be invited round for a sherry. Snobbery even then.

We have never been invited round for a sherry in thirty five years. Tea, beer and wine yes, sherry no.

Hmmm, I have shared a scotch, coffee, tea, beer but not wine also. So I wonder why Sparky saw Snobbery in this thread. Maybe it is because I said that if more provisions were made for tents that they should not be at the expense of caravan pitches and there was agreement? No idea.

Oh dear, I have umpteen bottles of Slovenian liqueur we drink and share. Are a few tots of liqueur drinking more snobbish than a sherry surprised, I do carry bottles of cider for the more down to earth amongst you laughing
