CARAVAN CLUB NAME CHANGE HORROR
It was with shock and disbelief that I read that the Caravan Club had changed its name – I learned this from the Daily Mail and not the Club. And it is only thanks to that worthy paper that there is at least some chance that this gross error will be corrected after they launched a campaign to help the Club’s decision makers understand and reverse the terrible mistake they have made.
It is bad enough that the Club allows owners of Motorhomes to be members in the first place. True caravanners know that these people are not those who enjoy the full pleasure of being able to take your home comforts with you while remaining as close this glorious land’s countryside and nature as possible without being under canvas.
They turn up at the most beautiful of our sites with their hotel on wheels running their generators at all times of the day and night to power their entertainment systems with 3 metre satellite dishes and the like. And what they do to empty their toilet tanks does not need to be aired on these pages.
And, frankly, these people are just not the type we want in the Club – noisy, brash, enjoying themselves too much - not quite the thing.
It was bad enough that the Club let them in – but to legitimise their existence in the very name of the organisation we have loved and cherished for so many years is beyond belief.
Please help take us back to where were before, happy and content in our traditional state of mind – thank you. Ima Pullenyerlegg
