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 a load of rubbish, how can you have a competition titled caravanner of the year with motorhomes in it, I know you should not laugh but was it not funny when so called expert made a right mess of going up a slope then rolling back. let us have these competitions but restrict it to caravans only.

I hope you're venting your spleen directly to the club as well? The 'managers' can easlily avoid reading all this thread so I've written to Enquiries. There didn't seem to be a category of ''Television programmes" to complain about.

I'm sorry that I can't identify with those who found the programme amusing. Public relations disaster.

Disgraceful !

Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear could not have been more dis respectful of the image of caravaning.

No doubt someone from the club will come on bleating they were misrepresented by the producers. Rubbish.

Shame on you.

I think there are two issues here, Rush. One is the entertainment value of the program and it certainly provided that for the vast majority of the population. The second issue is that the entertainment was provided at the expense of CC and the judgement of the Chairman should be called into question for allowing it to happen and for making himself appear a complete twonker.
