The change in name and logo were based on your feedback and in consultation with your representatives on the Committee. Together, we’re embarking on a journey of investment in the future of our Club."

If none of the Caravan Club members were consulted about the change then how can the club promote that the change is in the interest of it's members?
It can't really so it is obvious that the committee have agreed to this change whether the members like it or not.

It's merely a sop towards the 38% of C&MC motorhoming members. With their present booking system I am still unable to opt for a hard standing pitch when booking online. I'm still working. To arrive in our 3.5 ton motorhome at a rain soaked site late Friday afternoon only to be shown to a spongy grass pitch because all hard standings had been taken by the club's first come first served policy? Not for me thankyou. It's a lottery I can do without.

'we're embarking on a journey' ... how I hate that stupid expression.
Probably a big waste of money, like other organisations have done with rebranding, won't make any difference

I hope not, they say they will not.
Only time will tell.


Hi Ray,

You are correct, it always does.

I think they want to make sure that the vast revenue stream from the ever increasing motorhome customer client base is maximised by inclusion in the name before another club does.

I might be wrong but I would assume that this would have been brought up at regional CC meetings that members are able to attend and voice their opinions.
I again might be wrong but I believe that in some regions, attendance is very poor by CC members.

Someone has to make a decison regarding changes in any business and thats what the committee do. Just like a board of directors in any company.

I think its too early to comment about any changes that might be made. The email I received as would all members, states that the club is making changes to keep up with the times. Is that such a bad thing and if rebranding brings more business/revenue, surely we as members will benefit from that.
You have to speculate to accumulate in business.

They are bringing wifi to all sites within the year for starters. So I will give it a year or two and see what happens before I make a decision if its right for us or not to continue our membership.

I find the site fees comparable with non club sites of the same standard in my experience.
I realise some sites down south are more expensive due to location, facilities such as having a bar etc.

I have never had any issues with wardens on CC sites and never had reason to complain about facilities or cleanliness etc.

I also know that I cannot get on site before 12.00, so why would I waste time complaining when the warden tells me I can't get on before 12.00.

Why would I complain about getting my caravan in line with the peg on the pitch, when I know there is a good safety reason for it.

I have been a member off and on for 44 years and honestly believe the CC have got it mostly right for everyone to enjoy.
That is apart from folks who just don't like clubs which is fine with me. We can all vote with our feet if we really want to but lets complain when we have an actual complaint.

Oh! and a belated welcome to all Motorhomers to the CC

surely seeing as they have all our addresses as they send out the magazine every month, they could have put a slip in there informing of the proposed change and put it to the vote, either postal or by each member putting their membership number in and voting online?

the way they have done this is far to sneaky for my liking, no mention of it anywhere prior to yesterday

Another point to take into consideration that nobody has mentioned is the cost of production for the hundreds of new CMC logo signs for all the CL sites that will certainly have to display at the entrance. The cost of this will have be incorporated somewhere so we may expect an unexpected rise of membership to contribute towards this.

As in any business, I would imagine you would need to be a shareholder to have a vote.
I think we all need to realise that the CC is a business and needs to be to survive.
Its not the gentlemans club some people think it used to be and in some cases still think that way.

Not being rude but it is what it is, the club part is in name only. Its your choice, its like paying membership for a gym. You do not have any priviliges other than the use of the gym and its facilities.

It has not been the Caravan Club for 110 only for 58 years. According to companies house it was set up 31st December 1959 so it must have had another name then. And possible thats when it changed from a members club to a business.   It is a business so we would not have to vote for any name change the director's would just be able to change it.
