Now that all the turbulence of last year's name change is over, I really hope that the Club can get the website sorted out

It really is a disgrace !!

It is so S-L-O-W that many a times I just give up ....... the CCC site by comparison is lightening fast and very responsive & a pleasure to use 

As one of the leading caravanning clubs in the UK, the website above all else is what really lets the organisation down

    I think one of the reasons the cc website is so slow,is its popularity which may not be so with the ccc

    I think the rebranding is still a work in progress.

    It was the old CARAVAN CLUB pennants & logos being flown at this years National.

    The centres have been given a "get out clause" to enable them to keep their real identitywink

    I totally disagree, we are all caravaners at heart, motorised or otherwise and enjoy our shared passtime. However, some would wish it different but they really are in a very small minority in my opinion!undecided Yes, there are differences but the same goes for all of us whether we are RVers, caravaners, folders, campervans, demountables, or motorhomers etc, we love it! Things change, I'd love to go back to my vango force 10 but there again.....

    CT is just a forum, though, DD. Out on the sites we've stayed on this year, club and CLs,  you'd struggle to notice any difference or divisions at all. smile

    I’ve not noticed any difference in attitude on site and there’s rarely any noticeable divide on CT. If anything, one or two posters seem to be more anti-caravan than anti-MH.

    However, when the name change was first announced we had several vitriolic anti-MH posts but, thankfully, those posters vanished and didn’t continue posting. I think it’s best not to dwell on differences but to concentrate on our sameness to help preserve harmony as we're all part of the same LV hobby.

    That's because you specifically mentioned "some comments and arguments" on CT!

    +1 there, having been on a few sites since the rebrand and nothing has changed at all, happy contented campers.

    what plethora of signs are you talking about? I can only remember one thread about a sign that most could understand. A plethora is :

    a large or excessive amount of something

    so maybe you could give, say five or more examples? Ok perhaps two more?

    I haven't noticed any divided customer base? what statistics are you basing this one? Posters on CT? a very small sample to draw any significant concussion?

    Waste of money? well record levels of membership since 2012 was it?and record winter and spring occupancy so make your own mind up about it?

    You seem to be assuming that I am referring to CT alone M.

    is this another one of your string along posts?undecided You know when after 8 pages you'll tell us what it's really about?

    I don’t hold the C&MC responsible for division it’s the ‘online lovers of division’ that’s to be held responsible. When I LV’d I never met a single contrary or aggressive camper, I now use a Tent or Pod, again nothing but welcoming folk. Conclusion(personal opinion) it’s certain forumistas that actively look for confrontation to liven up their dull lives. As soon as C&MC open their sites to Tents generally-I’ll be back👍🏻😊

    I believe the practice of road signs that portray a tent is starting to happen over here as well

    Also I believe there are sites over here that allow tents and caravans? Are you focusing on the club again as the source for your posts, as said we're not mind readers?

    btw they have campsites on the the ferry?smile

    yes +1. It is generally the posters that want to stir up mischief on here that are responsible for any online division, sad really that this happensundecided.

    David why would try to put someone off joining the club,if you are not happy with it then just leave and let the members who enjoy and support the club carry on enjoying their hobby within that.

    All this talk about divides ,Ive never come across it in the many years we have been members We just enjoy our hobby and enjoy meeting people regardless of who they are or what they are camping in .Life is very short ,enjoy it.

    From a very happy Brian & Jo @Damage Barton site😊

    The International Road Sign for an ungated railway level crossing is still the outline of a steam locomotive.

    That was exactly my experience after catching a ferry this year. No discrimination by unit type, campsites well signed and as for the facilities, they were first class in most instances and better than the club’s. 

    So, David, I completely agree with you. 😀

    I do wonder why those with Stayintheukitis  syndrome. cannot accept that so many vanners  enjoy the experience of touring on the continent as well as at home. 

    Perhaps if they listened to those with greater experience and broader minds, they would learn something about the joys of touring abroad, They might even be tempted to open their minds and cross to continental Europe with their vans, to discover the joys of vanning among people of different countries which many posters on here enjoy.
