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!

What an utter embarrassment From start to finish. 6 of the best in the uk and only 1 can reverse. My drive is tighter than any of those challenges. The lowest age was 42!!! Nice work cc for trying to get youngsters into the hobby. Sorry, forgot cc hates young people. If anyone asks at work tomorrow if I saw it, I shall deny all knowledge of knowing it was on.

That was shocking, gave up after 30 mins as it was so boring. Only hope is anyone not interested in Caravans would have turned it off after about 5 minutes. A two hour slot on prime time TV and the best they can come up with is this !!! Agree all involved from club and BBC should resign. Even if the BBC thought it would be a laugh at the expense of the Caravan owners all they created was a yawn fest.

I am so embarassed that my neighbours may have watched this program

I would sell my caravan on ebay if the price hadnt plummetted after this show.

Having watched the Chairman of the Caravan CIub I now understand why we have so many petty rules.

Ah, Wotser. Nice to see you. Are you going to 'sigh'?

 

As for the program, I watched it against my better judgement and if gives me no pleasure to say it exceeded my worst expectations.

Mr Chairman, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing the Club to be shown in such a  light. I hereby call for your resignation forthwith.

Write your comments here...oh, I'm sighing,believe me.
