New Logo

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!

The new logo looks like the club is being sponsored by WALLS ICECREAM, it is so non descript that it's difficult to see what it represents. 

We are told the change was made because oh the high number of members who are motorhome owners, as I understand if they are still less than 50% so why the change?

As Members only club one would have expected consultation and a ballot before such a significant change. However we have been left with a decision taken by the 'city fathers' who we are told act in our best interests. Perhaps they would like to give us 'the members' a breakdown of the financial impact on the club for all the changes that have been made.

I have been a member of a book club and (some while ago) the Tufty Club. At no time, was I consulted about any changes that were made, nor did I expect to be. I view my membership of the CMHC in the same way. My £49 gets me access to club sites and CLs for a year. That is sufficient for me. I do not care what colour the logo is, what the club is called or how my subscription is spent. If, at some time in the future, the club no longer meets my needs, I will leave. Simple.
