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.

You too have left out us campervan owners. Just booking a site and I am given a joice for outfit of caravan motorhome trailer tent. None of them It's a campervan. When I had a motorhome other motorhome drovers would wave as we passed. Since I down sized to a campervan no wave. They just drive passed with noses in the air. We now feel most unwelcome on CC sites and demand Campervan be included in the name of the club to give us equal status.

Demand?

I demand free pitches for a year but I ain't going to get em.

Why all the fuss about a silly name? There are far more important things in life. Relax.

By the way, I don't wave to anyone on the road so please don't be insulting to us MH drovers.

I wave at quite a few motor caravan drivers, and also shout rude words at them. Alas, it makes no difference - they still wander across the white line towards me.

Nothing wrong with motor caravans, well unless your behind one and he's draining 25 or so litres of waste water when he leaves the site and you just happen to to leave at the same time and be behind him, but I'm sure the likes of our foramites like Tin Wheeler and co wouldn't dream of such practices...

You're right in one respect, H, as I never have and never will do that.

Now, if having already drained the fresh tank, I might leave the valve open to allow the last remnants of unused fresh water to drain out. Could you tell the difference when following at a safe distance?

I'm pleased to see you embracing the inclusivity of the club and not trying to alienate MH-ers or individuals in any way.

I can't understand why there had to be a rebrand in the first place. Firstly, it must have cost the club a small fortune to change the name. The club say's that it has "upgraded" the club.... How?? There has always been motorhomes on sites, so no change there, or apparent upgrade to be seen. Secondly, why were members not asked if they would like to see this change implemented first, instead of telling us that it has been done regardless?

Also, the "since 1907" should not apply either, as I joined in 2001, and joined the caravan club, not the caravan and motorhome club.

And as for the logo..........

The name change is a farcical waste of our money. We weren't even consulted before they brought in the boys on the big money from the agencies. What was wrong with caravan club - it is a generic term covering tourers, motorhomes, camper vans, pop ups etc. I think that the exec have made a huge blunder that they will pay for in one way or another,

Yes they are still complaining, including site staff who are pulling their hair out at the utter waste of funds,When they are being asked to reduce costs on sites and unable to get funds to carry out basic maintaince, as is noted by the increasing amount of comments when members post reviews
