A substantial number of the regulars do not regard this :"new" development with favour. What it has done is motivate the 'silent majority' to put pixel to screen to express their views. That alone should put the powers that be on notice that they have got it seriously wrong. It's not about the logo per se but rather the blatant waste of money that is needed elsewhere.

Good post CY.

I am in favour of the club being more inclusive and adopting fresh thinking but I am totally against the £100,000 to £250,000 (my gussstimate but based on a re-branding exercise I was once involved with) the re-branding is going to cost members and abandoning a recognised brand that is known even outside the immediate camping fraternity. That's just bonkers when sites are closing (pitch availability reductions) and a number of sites need money spending on them.

Don't get me going on the ice cream logoyell

In the new sites directory it looks like a new AS site will come into use in Shropshire. Is this the one the OP has heard about?

It's called Love2Stay, on outskirts of Shrewsbury. Owned by dealers, Salop Leisure. Not sure on opening dates yet, but could become a honeypot, close to big interesting town, HS throughout, serviced pitches throughout. All about the new breed of tourer.

Ha ha, my spirit of adventure is still finding a more remote spot, cooking over an open fire and skinny dipping at dusk! NT's campsite down at Lansallos just about fits the bill, but outside of school holidays of course! Don't think we could get the MH down the lanes though, never mind, could use the tent......laughing

This thread is a speculative stab at the club acquiring a new site, nothing to do with any other news the club has advertised, which has in my opinion given the regular posters their fun in their usual way.

I don't understand what you find sad in what could possibly be good news. Just saying.

No assumption necessary when all the relevant documents are in the public domain. Speculation and disbelief?  Well as I have quite a bit of experience in this field I know that nobody engages expensive consultants to promote sites if they don't intend to realise the value from the allocation.  

Submissions made by Savills on behalf of the caravan club to promote those three sites for development. 

If you don't know what's happening that's fair enough. The exec claimed not to know as well. That's the bit that disbelief applies to.

Exactly!

JK - you may not be aware of (or take any interest in) the activities of your employer, but perhaps best not to have a pop at those who do know (and care) without knowing all the facts, eh?
