Having seen a neighbour on site with a 45 yr membership badge I wondered how these are obtained? Apart from the obvious being a member for 45 yrs. Do they get issued on passing a milestone if so which ones 10, 20, 30?

anyone know??

    At a guess the club issue them automatically, your membership card shows how many years you have been a member.

    Those CMC stickers are in no way an indication of the Caravanner's experience and expertise, or how long they have enjoyed the hobby of Caravanning. 

    All they show is how how many consecutive years that particular customer has paid for a retail discount card from the particular retailer of leisure goods and services called the CMC.

    Thats impossible - the CMC has not been in existence for a year yet. I had a 20 year CC one about 8 years or so ago, but like TW I've lost it now.  Didn't stand for much anyway.

    As soon as the change was announced I 'phoned and asked for my next update sticker before they were abolished, so I have a genuine The Caravan Club one. 

    I wonder if the new entity will do them as well - we will have to wait another four and a half years though before anyone is entitled to a "Five Years" one.

    I won't put stickers in my window. Don't believe in providing advertising space for nothing. Don't want a long service sticker but I'm a long way off since the club had to reset my membership (IT issues can you believe?) and I've now done two years

    Yes, As they tried that one on me also.  But I made a stink and got the past years put back - although I lost the early membershit number.

    Many caravanners plan their holiday itinerary many months in advance. If the areas they want to tour that year does not have a CMC site or there are more convenient sites available, they won't renew their CMC subscription for that particular year.  The next year when the CMC customer pays for their discount card, their number of years using the CMC is automatically returned to Zero. 

    So why place any importance to those stickers on the window.. They are meaningless.

    I have been told they are good for covering a crack or such like, the adhesive is really good innocent

    Hi all

    Regardless of your view on the importance of a window sticker, you are all welcome to them when you pass each 5 year milestone from 10 years. 

    To obtain one (and yes, they are now bearing the new CAMC branding) just drop us an email or a quick call and we'd be delighted to send them out to you. 

    As Kennine quite rightly points out we send them out based on your years of recent consecutive service at the Club (pre and post rebrand!)

    To the OP - please send us an email and we'll check your Membership: enquiries@camc.com

    Thanks all

    Helen

    Mmmmm, who is the OP? How did they manage to post without having a name or avatar? What are we supposed to call him/her/they/it?

    The mysteries of this website continue to provide bemusement at every corner.undecided

     Perhaps they removed their registration to this forum and left?

    Nothing surprises me about this site any more. The only shock would be if it worked properly. surprised

    I don't think 20 year stickers fetch much, but 40s sell well on e Bay.

    I view membership stickers as similar to personalised  number plates on cars - I wouldn't be seen dead displaying either 

    The US have a very apt name for personalised number plates  - they call them "vanity  plates!"

    Each to their own I guess, Grant. We all make different choices.

    There is a huge difference between a retained number that has been in a family for years and an attempt to make a word or phrase by bawdlerising a recent issue sequence.

    I am very happy to currently have on display a number that has been with our family for decades.

    I've just been sent a 15 year sticker, seems like a total waste of time and money to me!

    It would certainly make more sense if they were sent out with your new cards, rather than a separate mailing. Every little saving helps.
