Christmas Comes But Once A Year...except for the Camping and Caravanning Club last weekend.This year’s National Feast of Lanterns was held at the Pickering Showground in Yorkshire and the theme was ‘Christmas’!
It was quite a remarkable weekend, and even the weather managed to behave itself until Sunday afternoon.
With a weekend of fun-packed entertainment, from babes in arms to our older generation, there was something for everyone to join in with.
The Mardi Gras on Saturday, as usual, was a parade not to be missed! And then it was onto the evening parade with the torchlight procession. Finally, there was the tour of illuminated caravans with an array of themes, Christmas lights and lanterns which gave a wonderful Christmas feel to the rally.
It amazes me where all these fantastic ideas come from. What incredible hard work and dedication it must have taken by members who helped make it a most enjoyable weekend for all.
Next year’s event will take place at Blenheim Place, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, over the weekend of the 20th to 24th August 2009. The theme for next year is “Time Travel”.
So there’s plenty of opportunity to get all your street scene idea’s together to make another wonderful successful weekend.

28-31st August 2008 National Feast of Lanterns
The National Feast of Lanterns, NFOL, is our annual celebration of camping when thousands of units come together with each of the 13 regions taking it in turn to host the event.
This year it is the turn of Yorkshire Region who have chosen the theme of “Christmas”.
The highlights of the weekend include the Mardi Gras procession on Saturday afternoon and the Lighting up of units on Saturday evening. There is entertainment every evening, competitions, trade stalls, something for everyone.
If you haven’t been to an NFOL before then make sure you don’t miss this one as it could be a good few years before it comes to the Yorkshire Region again…
It is an event not to be missed !!!
