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 thought it was great, not from a 'quality programme' perspective but for complete laughter. I must be the only person that got exactly what they expected. The beginning was cringeworthy mind-A Hi-De-Hi set complete with tannoyed Gladys PughLaughing. That anal list making couple, the Lady was a good driver & good fun, She laughed at Herself quite happily. Roll on next weekHappy

That programme was disgusting. I have been a caravanner for nearly 30 years and I spend my professional life promoting and teaching road safety and examine advanced driving for ROSPA. 

The caravan club chairman has shown himself in a totally irresponsible and immature light along with his so called motor home expert. 

I will completely distance myself from anything to do with the club now if that is what it is about. 

If he was appointed chairman what does that day about the people who appointed him. 

DISGUSTING! 

Write your comments here...Sorry mate, whilst I agree totally with your comments I think we voted the chairman in........probably by not bothering to vote for someone else!! Mia Culpa.

Am I correct to assume that the Club paid for the repairs to his van - i.e my membership and pitch fees?  Would a Freedom of Information Request to the Club get that answered?

You are absolutely right in what you say, Rocky. It was comedy of the year. The competitors were case studies in themselves. Happy

However, as a shop window for CC, it was a disaster and complete farce.

At least we now know why so many of the complaints and problems posted on this forum are ignored or go unaswered, if that is the mark of our Chairman, where in his words "the buck stops here". Does he read our posts, I don't think he contributes????
