Name change

Posted on 07/04/2017 07:59 by David2115

Didn't sound like an April fool and I'm not surprised the OP was not aware. It's hardly been national news and actually very few members use this forum.

The new title is unwieldy, and will cost the club a large amount of money to change all the signs on every site, money that could have been better spent elsewhere! CL owners will also be out of pocket for no valid reason whatsoever as they will also all have to buy new signs for their sites. 

Why did our club feel the need to change the title, without actually consulting with all the members? 

On page 678 of the 2017/18 Sites Directory & Handbook, the definition of caravan is given as: 'a trailer caravan, motorhome, trailer tent or folding camper.'  

I am now left to wonder how long it will be before the club becomes: The Caravan, Motorhome, Trailer Tent and Folding Camper Club?

Quite a few used it for the first time in a long while to complain about the change though, and have not been seen since. So the word got through to them. I suppose it is just possible to have missed it if you have been away at non CAMC sites for the last few months and don't subscribe to emails. However, if at home there were the stickers, a couple of other bits of unsolicited mail, two magazines and the site book. Therefore on balance I would think it an AF.

Very surprised about the club name change as the first I became aware of it was when I received my renewal notice which I almost binned without reading as I thought it was junk mail. The renewal notice made no reference to the name change and seemed to assume I knew all about it

If a notification of this event was sent out then I didn't receive it and any media notification (if there was one) obviously completely passed me by.

I definitely think there was a bit of lack of communication by the committee in this respect.

PS ... I have no problem with the new title but I bet it will still be called The Caravan Club by the members anyway.
