    I suppose this will mean even more motorhome reviews (and even less caravan reviews) in the magazine!  Disappointing.

    Mmmmmmm good point and well made, guess there's no other choice than to drop the middle C then!  😉

    This isn't a private business and we are NOT customers

    There's already a motorcaravanners club. Exclusively for motorhomes I believe. Same initials but not as inclusive. wink

    Absolutely disgusting! blah blah blah

    Rather than ask how you cancel your membership, why don't you just post a video of you burning your membership card. That way we will know how you really feel wink

    I'm a member of this Club too and have no objection with the name change, so you don't speak for everybody (like you profess to do)

    PS. Once you're over the shock and realise, it's not really that important, we'll see you on site again, very soon wink

    I think you will find Aviva came about because Norwich union needed to encompuse the large amount of other companies it had taken over and people were not sure who they were dealing with ,so they changed its name, 

    Not just to destroy an internationaly known brand

    Not one CL could be blamed for jumping BUT I sincerely hope they don't.

    Gosh, I found the new logo and name a shock as well!

    Sorry, but I don't like the name or the logo, and that is that!!

    'If its not broke, why change it?'

    Anyway, life goes on and I expect we will all get used to it and we need to keep such things in perspective...........................it could have been so much worse, for example  ' the Motorhome and Caravan Club!!' laughing

    Funily enough, today we did discussed jumping ship JayEss.  We are going to sleep on it and await a discussion with the club tomorrow.  I am sure there will be another avenue for us if we do.  Cheers!

    Won't make a jot of difference though will it. I doubt the powers will be reading this and thinking... damn, we'll have to abolish the changes because the majority don't like it.

    You'll get used to it wink

    Twenty five years of membership, but as the years progress fewer and fewer signs of being a club for its members. Old boys thinking they are running it, steered by young bucks desperate to justify their salary.

    I understand and have read some views on the discussion pages that some people think that running a CL is easy and money for old rope. It is not, especially if you do it well and give it your all!

    Hi PF. I no longer use CLs. I used them a great deal when I had children. I always felt privileged to do so. I never underestimated the work involved nor the commitment. Well done that fella.

    We tour using mainly club sites these days and move on every 5 days. Spend little time on site but still believe that CLs are important to the club and saddened that problems with the 'New Improved Club' with regard to its website have not been sorted after, what to me, seems an awful long time.

    The main advantage of the other club is that you can have 5 caravans/MH and 10 tents but obviously tents need more infrastructure. It's worth a thought. 

    Their site search works as well

    Dead sheep! You were lucky. We had to skin caterpillars on site and stitch the skins together using spider web silk. to make a tent, a right B in winter.
