Writers Guild

Hi All,

What lovely weather this weekend. Not sure if there were any rallies, but I am sure most of you would have been off somewhere lovely for the weekend.

Nigel and Chris, who work hard to keep http://www.worldofmotorhomes.com/ up and running, had a great weekend at the Caravan Club's Ferry Meadows campsite near Peterborough, with members of the Caravan Writers' Guild. Nigel and Chris have been members of the guild for the last four years and have met some very interesting people. It also keeps us well informed in what's happing in our industry.To view the Ferry Meadows campsite, and all other club sites http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/

The Guild was formed in 1982 when a small group of journalists got together with the objective of creating a professional body that would be recognised by the industry. Since then the Guild has flourished and has become home to many well known names.

Today the Guild acts as an important link between the industry and its writers. Its standing can be judged by the fact that many key players support it through taking out membership under the Guild's Friends scheme. This sponsorship enables it to host various events during the year, all of which provide excellent networking opportunities.Guild members are true professionals and include writers, broadcasters, editors and publishers. They value the kind of benefits that belonging to a professional body can bring.

Membership of the Guild is open to those individuals who have been working in a journalistic capacity in the areas of caravanning, motorhomes or holiday/park homes for at least a year. You may be a writer, journalist, editor or broadcaster and employed in a staff or freelance capacity.
