Ever since we came together as a group of like-minded enthusiasts back in 1907, our Club has continued a tradition of adventure and discovery that we should all be proud of. That’s why we’re embarking on a journey of investment in the future of our Club.

It is with great pleasure that on our 110th anniversary, we welcome you to the Caravan and Motorhome Club.

While we’re still the same Club you know and love, we’re making some changes for the better.
We’re redefining who we are and what we stand for, to better reflect our growing Motorhomer membership, and improving the way we help you enjoy the outdoors to the fullest.

This is just the beginning; you can learn more about the exciting improvements we have in store at www.camc.com/discover

We delayed the delivery of your Handbooks so we could update them with the new logo and colours - we're already shipping them out now so you should all have your Handbooks by the first week of March

Name Change, no bother.  If it meets the needs of today fine.  New logo, same.   No objection from me.

 

But all I want is a CL search facility that works.

Said something very similar several hours ago. Completely agree. Rochelle replied that should be ready next week subject to testing 😐.

What I don't understand is two threads running attracting on the same subject just different titles similar comments, both started by Rochelle. Others have been opened and commented on by a few before being closed/locked by Rochelle saying see here for thread. Haven't been interested to see which of the two or if same everytime.

Be nice to have a change of topic on latest activity pages but it's great to see plenty of responses from old and new names, so must be a positive effect 😉

When spending a lot of time and money on a re-branding is it not best to get everything aligned first? The lack of understanding of the digital marketplace still shines through.

The email addresses are now given as "@CAMC.COM". If you use this address to access this website it simply routes to the old caravanclub.co.uk site.

Site has the new signage and branding but (C) notice at bottom is still caravan club.

If you inadvertently use CAMC.co.uk, as many will given the existing site is .co.uk, you get a company called Campbell Consultants! Great choice by the club!!!

While I am fully behind the need for the Club to modernise and encourage new and younger members to join, I cannot condone the costs involved in what I deem to be an unnecessary re-branding exercise. All stationery, signage around sites, publications, the website, livery, etc will have to be replaced or updated at a considerable cost to the Clubs coffers.  I see this as a waste of time since the previous name of "The Caravan Club" by definition, already covers trailer caravans and motor caravans, which are the correct terms for the two forms of wheeled accommodation in question. Therefore, surely no change in name is necessary.

Complete and utter waste of money renaming the club. How many millions of pounds have been spent on a marketing firm to come up with this I dread to think. Money could have been better invested on site development and upkeep, especially the site I visited recently where the toilets were block again!! The third time I have visited in 3 years and the same blockage has occured. Just change for the sake of it. Disappointing to see "our" subsrcriptions being wasted in this way.

Glad to see motorhomers finally recognised by the club but you have a long way to go to stop them feeling like second class citizens on site.

Why do we have to pay the same pitch fees for a single vehicle as the caravan, car and a monster awning next door? Most motorhomers don't have a car or an mega awning with them. Will the club look at this and perhaps provide reduced pitch sizes for motorhomes (not requiring this extra space) at a reduced cost?

Some of the rules that work well for caravans do not work well for motorhomes but we have to abide by them, reversing into pitches is an obvious one whether or not you have a UK or continental unit.

 As far as I'm aware, provided a another pitched within the bounds of the pitch then hey ho, that's within the rules of the club. Motorhomers remember the club provides refilling and emptying points which is 'free'.

There is no rule to say that you must reverse onto pitches.

I am glad to see that the club reverted back to the site pictures on the club cards instead of the ones we have had for the last couple of years , but as for the logo change on the car stickers as far as I am concerned they are horrible and will not be adourning the screen of my landy the cc ones stood out better I do not think these do they look like an advert for a repair place or for a product
