New signage

Well, maybe I'm in the minority but I think the new signage is a backward step! The old signs were clear, obvious and did what signs are designed to do - inform clearly and succinctly. The new signs do not stand out, are difficult to read and in a colour
scheme that looks like environmentally friendly sandwich wrappers!

If it 'Ain't broke, don't fix it'!

    Completely agree. New signs are indistinct, anodyne, and eminently missable. I did. Miss them. And it was quite a few miles to the next roundabout. Someone said we'd get used to them after 40 years or so. Well, I haven't got all that long left to get used to them! They just don't show up, I'm afraid. Bad move.

    If you go up to Cumbria the new sign is nearly like a bus stop.

    These old post keep on cropping up. Is the Club trying to restore the old posts lost in the upgrade? It would be nice to have an explanation.

    communication re this forum seems to have evaporated completely..undecided

    ive got no idea (the club, too?) about what hiccups made it to the final snagging list and no idea about the timescales for fixing any of them.

    im sorry CC, but this shows your lack of project management skills and customer service in a very poor light.

    i just skipped through the latest mag, where there was a section on responding to a recent customer survey...

    the lady in charge of 'sites' was enthusing that they (in response to customer demand) had brought forward the toilet block redevelopment (of a site whose name escapes me) from 2022 to 2019......

    dont hold your breath....or cross your legsundecided

    im still stunned by a DK comment that suggested the MHSP redevelopment would take 20 years........

    time certainly moves at a different rate in CC land....

    Me too BB but that was what I was told in an e-mail from the person in charge of sites!!! This was the exact wording:- There is no formal schedule for any upgrade of these and that existing sites will receive their upgrade (trial being successful) when they are next refurbished. All sites will be completed in around 15-20 years. It seems believable as well given the number that have been done so far as they only seem to be converted as part of a wider refurbishment.

    With respect to the original subject of this topic having a proper motorhome waste point is far more important than the colour or design of site signs?

    I think it was Lady Margarets Park BB.........

    I too was a bit surprised by that....

    However I was impressed from the article she wrote that it appears that at least she goes out and stays on club sites and so actually gets to know something about them....

    I remember some years ago the CC published an article in the magazine introducing the new boss (chairman or CEO or something), I assume he's moved on now? There was a short interview with him and he said he never stayed on club sites "in case I am recognized" !!

    What a joke and how conceited, any club staff could be next to me, as if I would recognise them!!   I remember writing a letter to the club pointing out that at the time the Chairman of ICI Sir John Harvey Jones was doing a TV show visiting businesses incognito to learn how the business operated and the problems. A format which has of course been copied many times since. Needless to say the club did not publish my letter!

    So lets give "Emma" the clubs Head of Sites some due credit.....laughing
