We are delighted to announce that our ‘Caravanner of the Year’ competition was filmed by the BBC and will be on BBC2 on 20 and 27 April!

We hope it gets you in the mood for getting out there and enjoying the summer season on our wonderful sites network.

The enthusiasts were faced with a variety of challenges covering activities such as manoeuvring, navigation, hospitality and caravanning knowledge.  There was also the precision challenge of the Concours D’Elegance which demanded much polishing and primping of their vehicles!

The first programme will introduce the entrants and whittle them down to the three finalists.

Tune in and watch, and don’t forget to tell your friends and family about it too!

I stated when Rowena first raised this issue that, in my view, it is divisive and wrong to name someone as caravanner of the year. It's a leisure activity, not a competition, and one person's supposedly high standard will not be another's. What criteria can anyone use to judge who is best? What sets the judges above the rest of us? You guessed, I won't be watching.

Laughing I had to laugh at the short clip, I assumed that entries were of a standard that's pretty good and entered with confidence. It looked like a Benny Hill sketch LaughingLaughing

I shall watch it for the entertainment value, hoping it doesn't paint the wrong picture of us.

Looking forward to seeing it - especially to see the tasks they have been given.  I don't think I will take it too seriously though.

Looking at the You tube offerings, it looks as though it may be quite entertaining, so have set it up to record.
