     Thanks for the information folks . The Earl of Leicester is actually  a caravanner and more to the point,  is a very discerning one.  As demonstrated by his  excellent choice of caravan. 

    Cheers ............K

    I wonder why the caravan park he owns isn't an affiliated site

    I didn't think he owned one, that picture was probably taken at the Club's National Rally held at Holkham Hall a few years ago.

    I have to agree with wildwood we have all made fools of ourselves at some point in our lives.  Having said that I didn’t see the program   

    What I did find interesting in the article about the AGM was the comment ‘In the past 6 months, 45% of new members joining the club owned a motorhome or campervan’.  This made me wonder if maybe people are wanting to tour more rather than spending their
    time away in only I or 2 places.   Being able to tour more was our main reason for moving from caravan to van conversion. I wonder if others have moved from one to the other & what their reasons were. Maybe also from motorhome to caravan

    I think  total newcomers to the pastime tend to choose a motorhome because its simple and getting established with a suitable car and van then tackling towing frightens many off, I know it would me

    Strangely I enjoy towing and the more challenging the better.  Surprised

    It seems like an opportunity missed by the estate managers really.

    I came to it after being encouraged by my father (a much more trusting soul than me)  to take his car and caravan out on short holidays.That was in the much simpler days when we could make and fit our own towbars, any car heavier than the van would do and no bother about driving licence categories

    After nearly 40 years and well over 100,000 miles I dont really think about it but  enjoySurprised

    Hope you enjoy many more years touring with your caravan

    I think that's a different type of affiliation to that run in conjunction with the CC. The Sandringham site is run by the C&CC not by a different site owner. The C&CC scheme is just a way of combining Historic Properties with sites close
    by. The Earl of Leicester's site Pinewoods Holiday Park has both Statics & touring pitches and is not really the type of site that the CC should be in affiliation with, IMO of course.

    I agree, but have you looked at the Pinewoods' website. The photos show masses of the things!!
