I love the NEC show which takes place twice a year and it is returning to Birmingham once again. It is a fantastic place to find so many new and exciting things that are going on in the industry as well as speaking to exhibitors and the general public. Plus it gives me a chance to spend a week jumping in and out hundreds of different leisure vehicles, pods, tents and every other type of new touring accommodation.

So what are some of this years highlights to look out for ahead of the show? The brand new Colorado from Adria’s Alpine will certainly have heads turning. With a modern design that features a large front lounge and kitchen as well as twin fixed single beds and an end washroom. This model is perfect for those who want more space when on their staycation.

Lunar Caravans will be displaying their new TR layout on an 8 foot wide bodyshell. I spent quite a while looking at this model at the Manchester show a couple of weeks ago and I can see why this model is so popular. The amount of extra room it provides is staggering with a living room area that has to be sat in to be believed, so make sure you spend some time with the Lunar team at their stand.

Other caravan manufacturers and dealers appearing at the show include Swift, which displays redesigned options across its Sprite and Conqueror ranges. Bailey also exhibits, showcasing its latest generation of Unicorn caravans, and Coachman brings three exceptional caravan models from its Vision and Pastiche ranges as well as the newly-launched VIP.

Now onto the tents and camping, something that took an upswing during the later months off 2017 despite the chilly weather. Kampa will be launching its new 20018 range of AIR and poled-tent models. We also have a show exclusive debut product at the show, the Travel Pod Touring Callic AIR VW. This is a standalone tent that sits comfortably next to your leisure vehicle which makes it an ideal awning for those who want a quick and convenient set up.

Outdoor Revolution showcases its new Evora 390 ProClimate, a spacious awning for larger groups, while four new awnings are introduced to Isabella Awnings’ Ventura AIR range including the Ventura Trinus 400, Ventura Cito 350, Ventura Vivo and Ventura Simplex.

Our motorhome enthusiasts are in for a treat too, as Auto-Sleeper unveil their all new MPV Camper which is based on the Peugeot Traveller. The new leisure vehicle comes with a stylish exterior design and an extensive specification. Lunar Motorhomes will be launching their Roadstar which is a 4 berth SB that also features their fixed single bed and end washroom design.

For those who want the luxurious motorhome can get in in depth look at Adria’s premium Sonic Supreme A-Class. The range features the 810 SL models that comes features a large garage under a king size bed.

So once you have decided on what accomodation type to go away in you now need to find a location to stay. Or for those who simply want to plan a getaway in there are glamping pods, lodges and statics homes on display at the show. ABI will be displaying their new 2018 season lodges: The Malham and The Ambleside, and on top of that they will be exclusively revealing two brand new products at the show. Both the 14ft Artisan Lodge and first-ever twin unit, the Wyndham Lodge will be on full display.

A huge range of accessories are also on offer and provide everything needed for a camping or leisure vehicle holiday. Destination inspiration is aplenty with a variety of options across both the UK and Europe.
With interactive activities for all, the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2018 is the ideal event for a fun and family-friendly day out. Tickets are now available at www.ccmshow.co.uk and by phone on 0844 873 7333. Advance prices start from £7.00*, with children 15 and under entering free.

Interview Exclusive With CAMCs Head Of Communications And Events

By William Coleman

Last week I ventured up to Manchester to the Caravan and Motorhome show to speak first hand with senior members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club about what they had in store for their members during 2018.

So with both the Scottish and Birmingham NEC Caravan and Motorhome shows only a handful of weeks away I wanted to speak with The Club about how they prepare for the show and what it means to them to have such a presence.

As an industry leading holiday provider I feel they do a great job with communicating with their customers, and the public in general. So here is my interview with CAMC’s very own Brian Morgan.

The Club always have such an impressive stand and presence at the shows. How far in advance does the planning start?

It’s an ongoing process, we exhibit at both NEC shows, Manchester and Glasgow, as well as a number of outdoor shows and events throughout the year. We are always in ‘show mode’!

What goes into making sure you have something for everyone at the show?

We make sure we have details of all Club products and services available for show visitors, we can help them from the very first stages with inspiring them to choose the right leisure vehicle for their touring group, to sharing ideas of where they could have their adventures and giving them help and advice along each step of the way and, of course, make their actual holiday bookings for them. Our show staff have such a vast amount of knowledge and experience and they love being at the shows and talking to people. We really do have a great team, not only at the shows but at head office and throughout the site network.

It is quite clear that The Club invest heavily in listening to their members, how can members communicate with you so they are heard?

It’s really important for us to listen to our members to hear about what they want and need from us. We have our Club Together forum with over 400k registered users, our social platforms are a great way for members and future members to interact with us, we carry out regular research and surveys with our members to hear from them – first-hand – about their views. Our Magazine is also a great source of information for members. And, most importantly, we act upon this information we receive. We provide over 60 relevant member offers (everything from discounts on outdoor clothing, fuel discounts, unbeatable ferry offers), our ongoing sites investment programme, we represent the members views through parliamentary channels and other associated bodies such as Transport for London and the FIA to name but a few.

As Matt Allwright said at the Manchester show, ‘there’s nowhere our members haven’t been’ and we are keen to provide the platforms for members to share their knowledge and experiences as they, in turn, inspire others to have great adventures.

At the Manchester show you had Matt Allwright open the show and do a acoustic set with his band ‘The Walnuts’. Will we see Matt again in Birmingham this February?

Yes! Matt will be with us on Club Day (Tuesday 20 February), he will again be hosting a series of informative forums for show visitors. Matt is a Club member and really enjoys getting away with his family in his campervan.

The shows are a fantastic way for members, new and old, to have face to face interaction with key members of The Club. What aspect of meeting the public do you enjoy the most?

You will always find me at the front of the stand, encouraging people to come and say hi to our team. I really do enjoy that aspect of my job. It’s so important to get to meet and talk to people, face to face, you can’t beat it.

And lastly what can we expect from you guys at this years Glasgow or the NEC shows?

We are heading to Glasgow soon, it really is a terrific show. We will be opening the show on Club Day with our Director General, Nick Lomas, the show Director, Jamie Taylor, and there will be a performance for show visitors by a really talented local quartet called the Capella String Quartet, so if anyone is in the area, come and say hi. And then we are at the NEC, Matt Allwright will be with us and we will have an exciting announcement to make, so make sure you are there on Club Day!

Top Site Has Heated Pool Microbrewery And A Golden Award

The Peak District has a lot to offer. The views, the woodland, the pubs, the sites and now it had another David Bellamy award to add to its everlasting drawing power.

The family run Callow Top Holiday Park recently celebrated a David Bellamy Conservation Award win and toasted their success in parks very own, and highly acclaimed, micro brewery.

The world famous botanist David Bellamy had high praise for the site which is one of rural Derbyshire’s largest and most highly-rated touring parks. Callow Top was described by Professor Bellamy in his citation as “a wildlife wonderland”.

The business owners Alan and Jill Palmer first open their doors to camping guests over 40 years ago, back when the location was used as a sheep and cattle smallholding.

The park has a stunning location overlooking the Dove Valley, and is very close to some of the Peak District’s best natural wonders and attractions. The park soon gathered a loyal following and sees a many repeat customers each season.

Callow Top provides 350 pitches for touring caravans, motorhomes and tents in a peaceful rural setting. If you not own a form or touring accommodation you needn’t because they also have holiday cottages and apartments available.

Despite the parks growth over the past 4 decades Alan says that both he and the family have strived towards maintaining a positive impact on the natural world that surrounds them. The family business have never wanted their expansion to negatively impact nature for the purpose financial growth.

Callow Top is a paradise for the local wildlife. Making sure that the list of measures taken are always executed so that the site’s native plants and animals are have a top notch and 5 star treatment. Much like the guests that keep visiting year after year.

Bellamy had high praise for all of the efforts the family have made but one stuck out to him. He was blown away the 4 spring fed fishing pond which is a natural magnet for many different birds, as well as dragonflies and other aquatic life.

There is also a bird hide on site which allows visitors and guests to do a spot of bird watching. The site has a wide range of different species and the park works closely with Peak District National Park rangers to monitor wildlife numbers.

Alan, Jill and their children, who are now adults themselves, hae planted hundreds of tree and shrubs in the grounds to ensure that the wildlife have breeding habitats readily available.

David Bellamy highlighted the abundance of high nectar-bearing wild flowers on the park which attract many different types of butterfly as well as honey bees and other pollinators.

His also applauded the park’s shielded illumination which minimises light pollution, and provides visitors with the best views of the Peak District’s star-studded night skies.

According to Alan, the park’s new green award will be a spur to even more wildlife initiatives:

“We’ve always felt very privileged to live and work in such a beautiful part of Derbyshire, and have always tried to ensure that the park is a match for these beautiful surroundings,” he said.

“Callow Top has long had a special appeal to guests seeking a perfect escape in a tranquil setting, and it’s also a great place for children to come and learn more about the natural world.

“It’s fantastic that our conservation work is being supported by someone like David Bellamy, and everyone here is delighted that we have received his top conservation award,” added Alan.

Facilities at Callow Top include a popular heated outdoor pool, games areas, a shop featuring locally sourced produce, and the park’s Callow Inn and restaurant.

Guests can also drink in more than the inn’s traditional surroundings, for the beer on tap is from the park’s own Bad Ram micro brewery whose ales have won honours at major beer festivals.

There is more information about the park and its facilities at www.callowtop.co.uk

Highlands Park Turns 50 With An Award Win

As it enters its 50th year of operation this Highlands park has received high praise as they bag a golden award for their care and dedication to the countryside.

The family run Resipole Farm Holiday Park in Argyle will be celebrating their golden anniversary this year as they reach the 50 year milestone. Add to that their recent David Bellamy Conservation Award win, at its top golden level, and it double gold for the North Highland site.

World renowned botanist David Bellamy could not give high enough praise to the Sinclair family for their hard work and dedication they’ve show towards keeping the wildlife and natural environment safe with their many green initiatives. A topic that saw a lot of attention come award season as many parks across the UK did their best to go green and protect Mother Nature.

Rory and Karin Sinclair manage the multi-award winning site which was started by Rory’s grandfather almost 50 years ago. The site opened in the early 1950s and started welcoming guests who wanted to camp at the farm.

The site is located on a spot with a view that really has to be seen to be believed, postcards makers would be envious of the snaps holidaymakers can take when visiting. The park is set on the banks of Loch Sunart which is an idyllic location for couples and families who want to spent their holidays in one of Scotland’s most beautiful locations.

After opening for campers the location was officially designated as a holiday park back in 1968. Since then the site has grown significantly with the addition of touring pitches, activities and self catering stays in luxury lodges. The financial investment, along with hard work, has made this site a must visit.

Their hard work has certainly paid off. Each year the site has seen an increase in visitors from both the UK and overseas. Along with a whole host of national awards for the parks high standards.

Rory, who runs the park alongside his parents Peter and Joke and his aunt Fiona, said the family has always tried to ensure that Resipole remains a haven for wildlife. Deer, red squirrels, badgers, and a myriad of bird species are drawn to the 15-acre grounds which includes an ancient woodland with a nature discovery trail.

To ensure that the wildlife has enough natural habitat to roam the Sinclairs have planted hundreds of native trees and shrubs. These serve as perfect environment for breeding and food sources for the surrounding wildlife.

David Bellamy highlighted the abundance of high nectar-bearing wild flowers on the park which attract many different types of butterfly as well as honey bees and other pollinators.

Professor Bellamy praised too the absence of harmful chemical fertilisers on the park, and the use of water from its own bore-hole which is shared with neighbours.

His award also applauded the park’s shielded illumination to minimise light pollution, and provide the best view of the night sky in which the Northern Lights can sometimes be seen.

According to Rory, Resipole has always had a special appeal to lovers of natural beauty who value away-from-it-all stays in tranquil and unspoilt surroundings:

“Even though our family has been here for many decades, we still feel very privileged to be able to live and work in the beautiful part of the West Highlands,” he said.

“Perhaps because of our farming background, we’ve always been concerned to manage Resipole in a sustainable way, and it’s great to be doing so with the support of David Bellamy.

“We are all looking forward to our fiftieth celebrations next year, and welcoming back many of our loyal guests, some of who first visited as children and now have their own families,” added Rory.

Hendra Holiday Park in Newquay have two very special sisters who have inspires the masses and pulled of a fantastic fundraising charity success. The pair managed to raise a staggering £13,000 for Cornwall Hospice Care.

Emma and Lydia Sandry, who both work at Hendra Holiday Park, sadly lost their mother Judy in 2016 to a terminal illness. The two have explained that their mother’s final days were made a lot better due to care she received from staff and work of hospice carers. Once the family who own the Hendra park about Emma and Lydia’s story they made the decision to choose Cornwall Hospice Care as their chosen charity for 2017.

Once the choice was made it sparked a year long fundraising scheme that involved staff and holiday makers, which ranged from fun events to voluntary donations from customers who book with the customer.

After all the donations were in and tallied up, in January of this year, the total raised amounted to £13,252.22! This is now being used to support the hospice staff.

The Director of Hendra, Janine Hyatt, has said that fantastic outcome is a reflection of the hard work that the staff and managers put in to the fundraising project. Everyone, said Janine, deserved a big pat on the back for their fantastic efforts.

The representatives from Cornwall Hospice Care visited the park in January so they could be presented with the fantastic donation. Among them was mid Cornwall community fundraiser Judy Lawton.

Judy told Hendra’s staff and directors that the sum would provide a substantial and much-needed boost to the charity’s work in supporting patients and their families.

She said that the hospice relied heavily on donations to maintain round-the-clock specialist care for people suffering a terminal illness in hospitals, care homes and the community.

Emma Sandry said that she and her sister had been amazed at just how much had been raised:

“Lydia and I are overwhelmed at just how generous everyone has been, and at the enormous efforts which went in to achieving the final total,” she said.

“Cornwall Hospice Care gave such great support to our mum and our family, and made a positive impact on everyone’s lives during the final weeks.

“Mum’s final wish was that we would do all we could to help their invaluable work – and we know that she would be bursting with happiness!” added Emma.

Now the park is getting ready for a fresh round of fundraising activities in 2018 with Macmillan Nurses being named as the adopted charity for the year.

In 2017, Hendra Holiday Park was named as Holiday Park of the Year for both Cornwall and for South West England.

The long-established business, which has a host of attractions including an award-winning pools complex, provides a wide range of accommodation to rent plus touring pitches.

UK To Be 2018 Holidaymaker Top Destination

Posted by

By William Coleman

Well, it’s official. The UK has now become a top player for this years go to holiday destination. Something we Brits knew all along.

ABTA, the travel trade association, have revealed that the UK is set to be the holidaymakers hotspot in 2018 as 66% of the British people are choosing to stay at home for their holiday time. 14% are looking to travel to North America in 2018.

The year 2017 brought the UK a huge wave of success in the leisure industry and proved to be extremely popular with both UK residents and visitors from overseas. We saw British adults take an average of 2.1 UK holidays at home, which was up from the 2016 numbers. The numbers were even higher when it came to families with children of 5 or under took 2.7 UK breaks. UK holidays with adults ages between 35-44 took 2.5 staycation in the same year.
With UK holidays growing in popularity comes the amount of money that will be saved for these holidays. Research shows that 31% of people are putting money aside specifically for their 2018 holidays. 47% of people surveyed said they are hoping to use the same budget as last year, whereas 14% plan to be a bit more thrifty and plan to spend less.
The numbers are already starting to rise as The Camping and Caravanning Club report a 10% increase in bookings, when compared to 2017, across its 106 club campsites for the 2018. 2017 was the best ever year for tent camping, according to the figures from the Camping and Caravanning Club, with a 13% rise from the numbers 2016 brought in. On top of that the leisure vehicle holiday numbers skyrocketed with an 11% growth.
Commenting on the rise of UK holidaying, Jenny Summers, Group Marketing Director of the NCC (National Caravan Council), the UK’s trade body for the tourer, motorhome and caravan holiday home industries said: “Sales of both motorhomes and caravans were up in 2017, with motorhome registrations rising by 14.9% and tourer factory dispatches to dealers increasing by 8.7%. This clearly demonstrates the continuing popularity of using a leisure vehicle to explore the UK and beyond.”
These figures prove just how big the growth of the British tourism industry is and will surely make the NCC’s February Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show a must attend event. We will be there bringing you some exclusive content. We attended the sister show back in October along with another 101,583 visitors.
Taking place at Birmingham’s NEC between 20 and 25 February, the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2018 brings together over 370 exhibitors and is the UK’s largest showcase of caravans, campervans, motorhomes, caravan holiday homes and lodges as well as new season tents, trailer tents and folding caravans.
The family-friendly event features a variety of holiday destinations and trip options. Show sponsor Freedom to Go is on hand to help visitors plan their next adventure and the leisure vehicle industry’s two largest clubs, The Camping and Caravanning Club and Caravan and Motorhome Club also provide advice and inspiration for all.

CAMC Want You To Experience Freedom

Getting out and exploring is exactly what draws us all to the world of touring holidays. With so much out there to find the Caravan and Motorhome wants everyone to get outside and “Experience Freedom” with their new 2018 Adventure Outside campaign.

The Club are encouraging the public to become more active and get on their bikes following their first ever CycleFest vent in 2016. The Club are now offering a trio of CycleFest events in England, Scotland and Wales in 2018.

The Club’s Experience Freedom brand will be running the three CycleFest events and are all accredited by British Cycling and supported by Raleigh a Maxxis. The aim of the events are to bring people from all walks of life to enjoy cycling. There will be two challenges per CycleFest, the challenges come in the form of different routes. You can choose from a relaxed family ride and a cycling village with lots to see and do.

The Scottish Wanderer event will be held in the border town of Kelso on 6 May, the National Wanderer will take place at Sledmere House in Yorkshire on 27 May in Yorkshire, to coincide with the Club’s fun-packed National event and the Welsh Wanderer will run in the market town of Monmouth on 26 August.

All CycleFest participants receive free entry to the adjoining National event, which will offer fun and games for all ages. Daytime activities include baking, crafting, wine making, team sports and plenty of adventurous pursuits such as hover archery, zip wires and even ninja assault courses!* Plus, all entrants will also be entered into a prize draw to win a Belle France family-of-four cycling holiday in the Loire Valley. Personally I find the idea of the ninja assault course very appealing, it may help shift some of the Christmas timber.

The Caravan and Motorhome Club launched its “Adventure Outside” campaign in October 2017 in order to inspire more people to be active in the great outdoors and its CycleFest events form a key part of it. The Club is also proud to offer its members – 43 percent of whom are keen cyclists – 35 special cycling routes that it developed with the cycling and walking charity Sustrans. Many of the routes can be accessed from favourite Club sites including Cheddar, Coed-Y-Llwyn, Minnows, Pembrey Country Park, Sandringham and Tredeger House Country Park.
Harvey Alexander, director of marketing, the Caravan and Motorhome Club said: “We are always encouraging our members of all ages to get out in the great outdoors and have fun, active days-out and holidays, and CycleFest is a great example of this. More and more of our members are getting into cycling and we’re proud to be able to offer them some great events and routes that enable them to explore the UK’s beautiful countryside and have some exciting adventures.”
This just shows the dedication that The Club have towards their members and the general public. With so many advantages of staying home for your holidays The Club are simply adding to appeal of staycations.
Entry to CycleFest is free for Caravan and Motorhome Club members attending the National. Attendees can enter the events via British Cycling or on the day and entry costs from £20.00.

Campsite Milestone Mark Milestone With Gold

Celebrating a golden anniversary is always something special, but to be awarded gold in the year of the anniversary makes it an outstanding achievement and should be celebrated as such. One of Cornwall’s most picturesque park has been awarded gold as they enter their 50th year of operation.
Polmanter Touring Park in St Ives took top awards at the Cornwall Tourism Awards and was the overall category winner after a close fought battle for the top spot. The judges had their work cut out for them at the end of 2017 following a bumper year which saw tremendous success across Devon and Cornwall.

The park, which has been owned by the Osborne family for over half a century, is now confirmed as a finalist in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards. The next stage of the competition, which takes place in February, coincides with a landmark year for Polmanter which first opened its gates back in 1968.

Back in the 60s the site was run by John and Sheena, who were dairy farmers at the time, who began allowing visiting campers to use their pastures at pitch sites. It is easy to see the appeal with such breathtaking views along the cornish coast.

Soon after word started to spread about the impressive and welcoming location. Very quickly John and Sheena found themselves with a holiday business that rivaled their farm enterprise. It just goes to show how many little gems that park of the UK has.

With such a hot spot on their hand the couple decided to develop Polmanter as a must visit destination for visitors seeking top notch settings for their getaways. Over time they were able to then add family friendly facilities.

One thing that has not changed over the past 50 years are the iconic views, but there have been some great new additions over the years. When visiting be sure to make the most of the outdoor heated pool, luxurious spam tennis courts, play areas and the onsite shop with Cornish food and drink specialities. Another stand out for me is the park’s Stable Bar, which uses locally produced good which are freshly prepared on site and is located in the farm’s former milking parlour.

Over the years John and Sheena have taken a step back from the day to day running and now Phil Osborne, one of their four sons, is now at at the helm. Phil is also assisted by his wife Becki who also works as a local family GP.

The couple, who have two young children, could not be happier with the Cornwall Tourism award for top caravan and camping park. They see the accolade as a curtain raiser which could not have come at a better time as they celebrate their 50th year.

In 2008 the Polmanter site took the same award and also saw them win the prestigious gold AA five-pennant award for the quality of the sites facilities.

According to Becki, feedback suggests that one of the main reasons for the park’s success is its relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff team:

“Almost all of our guests are either repeat visitors – sometimes the second or third generation of the same family – or coming as a result of a personal recommendation,” she said.

“We tend to attract people of all ages – and especially those with children – who enjoy traditional Cornish holidays, and who love exploring our amazing coast and countryside.

“We’ve tried to create an environment which is a match to these magnificent surroundings, and where everyone knows they can properly relax and rely on our help if needed.

“Our family and staff are greatly looking forward to Polmanter’s golden year, and I hope that our guests will be able to join in some of the events we have planned!” added Becki.

As well as competing in February’s South West Tourism Excellence finals, the park has also been nominated to represent the South West in the national VisitEngland finals this year.

There is more information about Polmanter, which is a member of the Best of British consortium of top family-owned holiday parks, at www.polmanter.co.uk
