Having seen various comments about the need for the name change, I've seen nothing about the safety aspects of the new signage. Have just returned from our first visit to a Club site since the change and discovered that the new signs/logo are almost unreadable from any distance on a busy road. The entrance to the Cirencester site is off a busy road down a lane which serves several facilities. Although we know the area, the entrance is one of three quite close together so I was approaching it carefully to make sure of the right one.

We saw a 'familiar' green sign and headed for it; fortunately it was the right entrance but the wrong sign. The CC sign was on the same post but almost indistinguishable with the tiny nonsensical logo and small lettering. Had we not known the area and seen the other sign we could have missed it.

Does anyone actually road test these things, or talk to local Road Safety Officers before these highly expensive changes are made? The previous signs were colourful, easily seen and did what it said on the tin. These look like a cheap ice cream logo and do not stand out at a distance.

Oh yes, and we were told we couldn't buy a green site badge as they are also being changed but none had arrived yet!

Time to let this go and move on, perhaps? Let's simply accept that, like it or not, nothing's going to change.

I think that is the wrong attitude. The new sinage was a mistake and needs correcting and only pressure from membership will bring that about.

I think the problem is that the way some members express their view on Club Together tend to verge on the angry rather than a more considered approach and as such I suspect that Club Management find it easy to disregard those views. So in a sense TW is right to suggest enough is enough. I think the way forward if members want things to change is a considered e-mail to the DG and or Chairman putting forward a case for changing the colours/design. If between them they start getting full inboxes they may start to reconsider. It is very easy to fire off a quick message here or on Facebook but beyond the relief of frustration I doubt that it achieves much especially in the way those views are often expressed.

also the proportion of Ct uses compared to the membership is I would imagine very small, even though very vocal! Remember that thread on booking day? Tens of posters who we had never seen posted, and we have never seen then again mostly.

I know it i inconceivable to us that there are some people who use the club and its sites and don't use CT, (which I personally think is some form of character flaw) but there it is!

It is too late to change, what would have been a good idea, to involve the membership with the design, has been missed.
