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!
