Caravanner of the Year on BBC this April!

I've been away so just watched first episode. Simple awful. what a way to sell a caravian lifestyle to the television viewers. Embarrassing. 

The penny dropped for me when the contestant read out instructions for one task saying "you must arrive at the pub exactly 1 hour 47 minutes after leaving the rally"

Before that, I was having difficulty associating anything in the programme with my understanding of our hobby.

Maybe if they had called it "Caravan Rallier of the Year" - with an explanation up front of the difference between the activities that a relatively small number of ralliers get up to compared with the vast majority of CC members who don't rally?

Something like "what you are about to see is not what most caravanners (CC Members) would regard as normal activity when caravanning"

I am becoming concerned that my critical faculties may be atrophying. After the first week's fiasco I thought this week wasn't too bad notwithstanding the obvious idiosyncracies of some of the contestants. Let's be honest, a few idiosyncracies are what add to the rich tapestry of life. Think steam train afficianados or plane spotters for instance. Not however truly representative of caravanning.

Do people really do welly throwing completions at rallies?

One the grounds of health and safety. Why was the observer in the motorhome during the "economy run" sitting on a side facing seat without a seatbelt? Riding in the back of a motorhome like this is extremely dangerous and according to my understanding against the law. 

It did appear to be a side facing seat and therefore would not have a seat belt available. I thought it was particularly risky behaviour as the film evidence could potentially lead to a prosecution.

If you read the guidelines etc ,  your post complaining, and  criticizing the club, questioning the community manger, and champions  comments and decision, breaks a number of rules etc  

Be prepared to be  suspended. Hope what ever they suspend you by, it is not to painful 

  

I'd take it on the chin if I had done. I won't hold my breath for a reply of any kind.
