CAMC CL Signage

Whilst you might not agree with it the Club clearly decided they wanted to keep it under wraps until it was announced at the NEC. In order to achieve that it would have been sensible to keep it on a need to know basis which clearly did not include CL owners. I think perhaps what you might have to think about is what would have happened had it been more widely known, a months or even days in advance,  and rumours started to appear here and there. You can just imagine what the result would have been on Club Together!!! There would have been uproar  about members being kept in the dark?

I think many of us CL owners would like to think we were in a partnership with the Club, and would like to see the club grow and give benefit to members. It would have been very easy for the Club to have said to us in one of our newsletters 12 months ago  that we are reviewing our signage of CL's and would be grateful if you could hold back on any expense you were thinking of in advertising until we have made some decisions on this. Quite clearly Mr Klyne you are following instructions you as a Moderator have been given, but spare a thought to CL's who have lost money and are worried about the proposed signage to their sites, I am fortunate our site can be see from the roadside but some are hidden away and can take some finding.

How sensible would that have been?  I said something very similar one thread lord knows which one 😃.  I think that would have respectful to CL's. In fact you are probably the ones who could have been given a blanket nod, along the lines you've suggested, printers and others would have had some sort of gagging clause I presume.

Indeed. No need to have given specific. One can only hope that this was planned well in advance and not a cunning plan devised at a night out with the boys in early December

I think members need to calm down a little. It doesn't matter what leaflets or signs CL owners have they can only be booked through the club site or handbook. Either way members know what they are booking a recognised Cl. Some of these posts on this site are bordering on hysteria.

The relationship between the Club and CL owners is a matter for the two parties concerned, nobody else. It is entirely up to the Club when and how they communicate information. Clearly the Club wanted to keep the rebranding secret, the more people that know beforehand the greater the risk as I have mentioned before. I fail to see what adverse effect it would have on and CL's as far as their customers are concerned.

So you don't think that the CC has treated CLs shabbily then? You must have read all the complaints on this forum regarding the issues, surely.

All the problems with reviews, inaccurate data on the web site, a new logo that is unrecognisable when most members are use to the familiar green sign and wording, no indication on the sign that they are only allowed 5 members  which is bound to cause confusion.
