The Caravan and Motorhome Club announces David Turner as new Chairman

During the Caravan and Motorhome Club AGM in London on Saturday 28 October 2023, David Turner was appointed by Club members as Club Chairman.

David, a retired Banker, has been a member of the Club since 1988 and served on several Committees as well as holding the position of Club Vice Chairman.

Caravanning since 1979, David also enjoys fishing, reading, cycling and swimming.  David, and his wife Jan, regularly caravan in the UK and abroad and stay at Club campsites and attend local member events.

David Turner said, “It is the most incredible privilege to become Chairman of the Caravan and Motorhome Club - a true members’ club.  I look forward to serving our 1.1million members and working with the dedicated Club staff and volunteers, both on the Club Campsite network and at Head Office.   The Club is a great institution that has stood the test of time.  Together with my committee colleagues and the Directorate team, we will continue to do all we can to enable our members to do what they love best, enjoy the great outdoors knowing they are in safe hands with the Club.  We will also work to ensure we remain relevant to the next generation of Club members and their interests.”

Nick Lomas, Caravan and Motorhome Club Director General said, “The Club is delighted to announce that David Turner has been appointed as Club Chairman.  David embodies the spirit of our touring membership and I, along with the team, are looking forward to working with him.  The Club would like to take this opportunity to thank Grenville Chamberlain OBE, who stepped down after 16 years as Club Chairman, for his tireless devotion to the Club and its members.”
