CAMC CL Signage

Not to consult CL owners, even if it was to give advance warning, is a real derogation of duty. This is has been an eye opener in the way the CMC operates.

I hope the CMC compensates any expenses incurred, there is no excuse to let this happen at the beginning of the season.

 I expect that the 'partners' of major supermarkets are treated in very much the same way

Brue

Before the announcement everything was on lock-down to ensure news of the name change did not get out before the planned date. I am not suggesting CL owners can't be relied on to keep things confidential but the more widely known something is before the event the more like it is to get out, often by accident rather than design.

David, a couple of points spring to mind:

1. We have been told on the change of name thread that members were consulted yet the majority of respondants to that thread are against the name change, with more members being aghast at the cost of such a change but not that bothered about the name changing per se. Yet these members who were allegedly consulted did not leak the news. Extremely surprising considering the anger directed at the club. So which was it, we were notified or we weren't or maybe only a few selected members were/

2. Why did management have to make it a secret anyway. Why not float the idea and gauge the response before committing yourselves.

3. If they wanted a big splash why not do it at the show in October before people had started to make plans for this year. That way everyone would have known in advance and not have ordered new clothing such as some Rally centres have and CL owners have had 2017 stationery printed. In addition the new site book wouldn't have been held up.

In my view the management have acted in a poor way towards the members and CL owners  and that is putting it mildly.

BTW - I have no objection to the change of name as I feel it properly reflects the current membership but there are more pressing matters to be spending our money on.

Begs the question did you know?

How would people like CL's and rally organisers know about lock down? Clearly even that appears to have been privileged information.

I have objection to name change or even logo change - I don't like it much but hey ho,  but I am concerned about the costs from the reserves, we could use some new sites decent motorhome points etc, but these points are raised on the same club but better thread. I am further incensed at the cavalier attitude to CL's which the Club love to trumpet above buy appear NOT to champion and respect.

It would be nice if management justified their actions rather than it being left to unpaid mods and Rochelle 😉

The change of name now reflects a disregard for some ,wheres before all types of caravan were included  

Whilst understanding what you are saying David it would still have been possible to tell CL owners that new signage was on the way. Consulting with them about what they considered to be important elements of the signage would not have involved revealing further details but might have prevented some preparing new details, photos etc with the wrong titles or letterheads.

Ian, if you don't send the old signs back what punishment has been suggested?  

 As I'm sure all of your CC visitors have had a great time and will probably return, have you thought about transferring to the CCC  ( who will probably welcome you with open arms) to attract a new crowd of users?

For all that there was to trumpet with this grand unveiling (and there was B all to trumpet about) if the club had said 6 months ago that the club name was to change in 6 months to something to more represent the membership their would have been no stupendous announcement to spoil as there was no stupendous announcement. All that accompanied the name change was meaningless hyperbole and flimflam that the best snake oil salesmen would have been proud of.  

Can I now com to a site with my bow top and tether my cob behind my varda.
