There has been much talk in the 'new name' discussion as to if the CMCC is a club or not. So should the CEO and Chairman decide to vote through a decision to sell the club and all its millions of assets to an equity company or commercial operation (as other clubs have), where would the proceeds be distributed; there's an interesting question, any ideas.

Thomas Coke, the 8th Earl of Leicester, not exactly what you'd call a well known character that you would associate with leisure

 

Actually he is a caravanner and a family man, so I would expect him to appreciate his leisure time wouldn't you ?

 I'd rather that than yet another TV personality chosen just because they are known for liking outdoor pursuits like walking but don't own a caravan or motorhome.

He does own a caravan site and has a caravan...

I'm not a fan of the other club's president, much preferred her predecessor and left the club soon after her appointment but I don't know why a new president is needed at all. Especially a 'marmite' one.

I'll take the hit on this and be happy to be shot down, if he's an active caravanner then great.

I had to look him up though, he's not exactly at the forefront of Club life

His Lordship is a caravanner, at least it said he owns an Airstream.  Question is, is he a member of the Caravan Club?

Why not ask your questions at head office and if you don't get a satisfactory answer then raise them at the AGM instead of speculating here. 

I see that my liability is limited to £1 which is all i need to know.

I asked a very similar question on here some months back and the post got removed/ Deleted User.

So would members of 'the club get a share in the assets?

Unless you are a Full Member of the Club, you are not a guarantor and you do not have a Liability.

A Club Member (those that pay a subscription of £49 a year) is not a Full Member

As in the case when the RAC was sold, it is extremely unlikely that ordinary members will receive any share of monies should the Club ever be sold.

I think that you are mistaken. I believe that a person paying their membership becomes a full member.  I think that a full member effectively holds one share in the club.  One of the reasons I say this was I complained that because I am the family member, my wife is the first named member I cannot login properly to the website to make for example a booking in my name. The explanation given centred arround there only being one full member per family membership. The person giving the explanation was Mr G Chamberlian.

byelaws. If you look at the attached link you will see that the definitions of both Family and Joint members imply that they are attached to a full membership.
