Why join the Sprite Sterling Swift Caravan Owners Club?

grahamjordan , , ,

We asked Copilot, Microsoft’s AI tool, why anyone should join our Club.. and, as we’re open to a laugh, to respond in a humorous way.

  • Your Ready-Made Caravan Squad: Ever wanted friends who won’t glaze over when you start raving about your caravan’s new awning? Join the club, and you’ll finally have an audience that gets it.
  • Rally Shenanigans: From lively gatherings to tranquil countryside hangouts, there’s an event for every mood. Who knew towing a portable home could come with such a bustling social calendar?
  • Membership Perks Worth Bragging About: Secret events? Check. The smug feeling of being part of an exclusive club? Double check.
  • Wisdom Without the Judgment: Whether you’re a rookie reversing into hedges or a veteran caravanning guru, there’s plenty of advice (and likely a few good-natured laughs) to go around.

Basically, it’s like joining the cool kids’ table—but for caravans. Plus, you’ll have plenty of stories to share when your friends ask, “You’re in a caravan club?”

What’s stopping you? 😊

2023 National Rally

grahamjordan

We would like to invite you to join us for our National Rally at Abbey Rugby Club, Reading.

The National Rally will take place over the weekend 26 to 29 May, however, the site will be open from 25 May to 3 June. Members wishing to attend from 20 May may do so by prior arrangement.

What is a National Rally?

It’s an annual get together of the Club’s regional Areas and an opportunity to catch up with friends from across the UK. We usually have entertainment and activities and hold or Annual General Meeting (which we call our Central executive Committee Meeting).

We hope to raise funds for Charity
We have chosen to support the Motor Neurone Disease Association at the National Rally and hope to be able to pass on monies to their cause.


Our theme is “All our Yesterdays” which should allow for great imaginations to come into play.


We intend to offer a varied programme of activities during the time spent at Abbey Rugby Club – details will be shown on our notice boards.


There are many interesting places to visit from the area, London is only a 25 minute train ride from Reading General Station. Also local, is Windsor Castle, Legoland, Chessington World of Adventures and Harry Potter World (it is advisable to book tickets for these venues by checking the website for available dates and times as these are very popular).

Reading is surrounded by pretty villages and towns within a short drive and buses from Reading can take you to Henley on Thames and Newbury.


Please come along and meet up with friends and help us to make this an enjoyable rally with a fun time together.

Members can find more information here. If You’re not yet a Member, please check out our Rally Programme and Join Us.
