    The Caravan Club was 110 years old with a lot of history and over the years an awful lot of members, but it no longer exists! It is now The Caravan and Motorhome Club which is 3 days old therefore it is starting all over again.

    Is the "Club" a club or a business, it is about time the executive told us that it is either one or the other. I say this because obviously the executive don't consider us as members, but customers and surely if we are members, they should have had the decency to consult the membership about the changes and given us the chance to say yea or nay.

    Tinwheeler don't think for a moment that there is some kind of caravan /Motorhome war this has been created by the club I would love a Motorhome but not got the penny's yet but to go and change a old institutions name that you were happy with seems mad and expensive this is so divisive the head of the club needs there head examined 🙁

    Nearly put my letter in the bin as I thought it was junk mail.

    such a badly composed letter, didn't even mention the Caravan club. 

    Had to log on here to check the facts!

    Catchy brand names...AA,  RAC, BT, Apple, Windows, Tesco, Asda, Lidl, Aldi, Saga, Boots, Oxfam, ....are all short and sweet.

    But Caravan and Motorhome Club is a clunky mouthful. Mistake.

    Well....now I'm joining the ranks of the miffed......

    Somewhere a million posts back someone complained their app was now newly logo'd up and was now a camc app on their iPhone.  So I rushed over to play store to update my app, it's there showing all nice and shiney, new but won't update on my android, I'm still stuck with the cc appfrown. I wasn't going to bother with the show this time but I'm going down to brum to complain tomorrow nowcool

    Why, thankyou, K&M. 

    One does appreciate such comments from one's fellow members.

    Bura, I have never experienced anti-MH comments prior to the advent of this thread. I'm shocked but it will not affect me one iota.

    Eh? AA, RAC, BT and ASDA are abbreviations

    Oxfam is the accepted shortened name representing the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief

    Not the best examples to back up your theory

    At the risk of repeating myself...

    The membership are not the owners of the Club, the Club has no ownership, it is a managed not for profit organisation and no one person is entitled to any share of the profit or dividends.

    We are paid up members of a membership organisation and we sign up to the by-laws of this organisation when we join. Within the by-laws it will state that operational decisions are the sole responsibility of the elected governing committee.

    Please can you tell me whether as a member of the Caravan Club I have the right to see the Committee report and minutes in respect of the decision to change the name of the Caravan Club?  I feel very annoyed that the name has been changed and am hoping that having sight of the report will help to explain how and why the Committee arrived at their decision.

    Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

    National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children

    Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

    Business and Professional Women's Club

    Royal Air Force Association

    Society of Wedding and Professional Photographers

    I could go on...

    The Club doesn't need a catchy short business name, it merely explains what it represents

    All those above that deal with the public trade with their initials which in turn are backed by heavy advertising promotion.

    RSPB

    NSPC

    RSPCA

    RAF

     

    How long will it take for CAMC to catch on do you think?

    It's pointless to go around in circles over this, the Club has been renamed, it won't be changed back.

    The REME don't deal that much with the public but most know their name as Remmy just as most know of SAS.

    As for the CC's name change Nigel of course it won't be reversed. Is that relevant?

    I agree Husky,

    Whats done is done, there`s is nothing anyone can do, the management have made their decisions, some of you may not like or do not agree with it, but its done and dusted.

    Live with it, 

    Embrace it, 

    Deal with it, 

    Accept it,

    Hate it,

    Don`t accept it,

    Refuse it,

    Caravan and Motorhome Club is here.

    What real difference is it going to make to us as indivuals?

    Nothin.

    You`ll still go to club sites

    You`ll still enjoy being in your preferred leisure vehicle

    You may moan for ever more about how you were treated

    But you will still take the discounts

    And you will still post on here.

    You may even take the extreme road and cancel your membership, thats your choice.

    But this rebranded club will still be here, with thousands of members.

    Thats life

    Be well
