The Camping and Caravanning Club has set its sights on a new world record and is hoping to enter the Guinness Book of Records with its attempt over the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend.
Coinciding with National Camping and Caravanning Week at the beginning of June, the Club is hoping that the thousands of holidaymakers heading to its network of sites on the bank holiday will help put it in the record books.
Carrying on the Jubilee theme, on Monday June 4th the Club will attempt to break the record for the ‘most people wearing paper crowns across multiple locations’.
Caravanners at each of the Club’s 130 campsites will be provided with a special paper crown, with adjudicators from Guinness heading to the Sandringham Club Site, which is acting as the hub for the attempt.
“It’s a great event to bring people together and enjoy the great outdoors, particularly during National Camping and Caravanning Week and the Diamond Jubilee central weekend,” said Robert Louden, director general of the Club.
Club president, conservationist and celebrity David Bellamy will also be on hand at Sandringham to help break the record.
“Help us set a Guinness World Record,” he said. “I’ll have my paper crown at the ready.”
What’s more, the Friendly Club’s ambitious plan is the largest multiple-location world record attempt ever in the UK.
