in view of the number of complaints about the high handed way that the "re-branding" of our club has been handled would it be in order to suggest that senior club officers be offered "early retirement".

    The committee or whatever it is called is a club within a club. Did you notice at the AGM, they either nominated or seconded  one another. The same old f..... will continue as previous regardless f members opinions.

    I do not think that the name change has caused trauma. Nor the new logo of itself even though I think it poor and the explanation of it none existent. I was going to say contrived but as there is no explanation that I can understand I will stick with 'poor'.

    What some folk, including me, are less happy about it is the ongoing lack of information or engagement with the membership. If you are happy TinWheel I am happy for you. Me; I am always happy and in this instance it is in spite of the club.

    I like this innovation!

    I wonder if there was as much fuss made when Newton Heath LYR Football Club changed their name?

    The "re branding" of a 110 yr old institution and brand for an ego trip by a few, into a "new company" and brand that will be for years to come an unknown entitity in the leisure industry by any one looking to become part of "club" that is new in the market in 2017,that by the name is only for Trailer caravans and Motor caravans that was covered by the original name Caravan Club

    I didn't actually say I'm happy, Easy. As for trauma and the rest, I think you need to look at the smileys and perhaps, dare I say, put things in perspective.

    Obviously you dare to say and why would you not.

    It is not so much the rebranding (although better choices could have been made) as the high handed manner in which it has been forced onto the membership and the very well liked cl network!!!!!

    Re 2nd paragraph ET, I think I have the answer to this one.

    if the C&MC ignore the membership-they're attacked, if the C&MC give information-they're attacked, if the C&MC give answers to questions-they're ridiculed. In fact if anything different is tried or even contemplated-they're actually called names & ridiculed. It's not too hard to work out why there's not much interaction really. Most of the staff probably have young Children so they know exactly how to approach a few of the posters on CT.

    Isn't it strange. There seems to be so many different ideas about what the "new" club's initials are......C&MC, CAMC, CMHC, etc Not an instantly recognisable rebranding, is it?

    You have admit that the response from the club has been deafening other than a few buzz word replies to the few that seem to like everything the club does & says

    Maybe there are a few that seem to like anything the club does or says MM, but there are a few of us who use the club for our own ends and are happy with their plans until it affects us negatively in pursuing our aim.

    At the moment I can still do as I have done previous to this, the stickers have gone in the bin as do all stickers, the inside of the book is the same and the map of the UK is the same as the last one. It's got a funny red/yellow and brown thingy on the covers but the sites infrastructure is still there at present, so I'm happy. laughing

    As this thread is essentially the same as the main thread here I will close this so we can concentrate all discussions on this subject in one place. 

    Thanks
