    Hi Anturwyr,

    One of our first steps into improving with the rebrand is that we're working on getting reliable wifi across all of our sites.

    Glad to see a bit of humour has been brought into the thread, what a bunch of moaners the tuggers are. Get over yourselves, the club needs to move on, it already has a reputation for being stuffy and rule bound. This is a great start towards modernisation that is long, long overdue.

    I don't think that we 'tuggers' are overly upset by the name change. It is all the hype that accompanies that. We have seen hype before.

    But I seem to recall that you were doing that even before the rebrand.

     Totally agree !!! Complete waste of all our subscriptions.

    . As for the grand statement that they are now to ensure all sites have WIFI before the end of the year  ----   Good Luck with that one chaps. I'll believe that when it happens and not before.

    I am very disappointed with the Club changes. For some time I have thought that the club is moving towards a motor home club and now I find that we caravaners are being treated as second class members - ie.only motor homes can reserve specific pitches.

    In addition the re-branding must have cost a fortune - what a waste of money

    A move to the Camping Club may well be on the cards.

    I have indeed come across that acronym Ovaltineys smile So, in short: 

    As you may know The Caravan Club had a reputation for being stuffy, strict, and exclusive. We know that at the heart of our hobby, that's not what we're really about, and we want to change that. We’re going to focus more on the experiences and adventures that can be enjoyed by all of our current and future members.

    The Caravan and Motorhome Club is going to be more inclusive, knowledgable (but not bossy), and more inspirational...

    Best of luck with that, it's in the hands of BT, without access to mobile signals and distant from exchanges all the club can do is ask nicely on rebranded note paper

    Anybody read the FAQs?  You couldn't make up some of the answers.  For example, "Were the members consulted?"  

    Answer "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."

     First sentence ok, but the second?  Where did that come from?

    Not my feedback, that's for sure!

    Evolution, not revolution.

    Was the  future change notified to club members, if so how? as I cannot recall seeing any information about it.....and not been given an opportunity to vote....so 30 years membership means nothing......Are you  prepared to refund my years subscription.

    Nothing against Motor homers but maybe Caravanners should start up a Caravan Club purely for Caravans and go into competition if that is all our membership means to the Club......

    Hold on, I've been out all afternoon so I may have missed this. Motorhomes can reserve specific pitches? Where did that come from? If it's correct I'm going to be one very unhappy caravanner!

    Ha Ha never say never  "The Motorhome & Caravan Club" I remember people saying it would never be the Caravan and Motorhome Club, watch this space. I genuinely think we'll eventually see the day when Caravan and Cars are band from our Club for good. Cometh The Day Go-eth The Van! 😉

    Thanks Rochelle but I just want the club to provide decent pitches at a fair price and I'll sort my own entertainment out. Generally indoors or near a shop or two. 

    Can you please revisit the Hardstanding booking issue in the interests of inclusivity?  I have excluded myself from club sites and would love to include myself again 

    thanks wink

    I don't think it's true. It wouldn't be inclusive

    We are quite new to both the Club and Motorhome ownership  - really like the new rebrand and logo - it does feel more inclusive so thank you!

    It is also encouraging and important to embrace change and welcome membership from younger people and families to preserve the future longevity and success of the club.

    Its interesting to me that the majority (though not all) of the complaints are from Caravaners - I wonder why this is? We only want to share in the fun and joy of your hobby!😃

    Not wanting to sound insensitive to your disappointment but any chance you could forward me The Motorhome Pitch Reservation Telephone number. I never knew you could do this, every cloud! 😄

    Call it what you like, just keep the fees down and act more like a club and not a business.

    'It is also encouraging and important to embrace change and welcome membership from younger people and families to preserve the future longevity and success of the club.'

    When I joined the CC some 35 years ago with a yoing family I was not aware of not being welcome. Has something changed in that regard??

    They can call themselves Isis and have a dead cat as a logo for all I care. I don't like the new mission statement and lack of information about what they intend to do to modernise  

    Its like having a meal of candy floss
