World Record Attempt at National Feast of Lanterns

The Camping and Caravanning Club will be celebrating its prestigious annual camping rally, the National Feast of Lanterns 2011 (NFOL), with a Guinness World Record attempt!


Campers from across the country will join together to attempt to set a new World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Robin Hood!

The current World Record was set at Castle Green in Nottingham, in 2008 and stands at 1,119 Robins.

The record attempt will form part of the Club's national rally which will be held at Newark Showground in the Central Counties Region from Thursday, August 25 to Monday, August 29.

The rally will celebrate the country's history and traditions with a ?Best of British' theme.

Free entertainment will run throughout the weekend with live shows, bands, parlour games and even a ?Britain's Got Talent' competition.

Children will also love building sandcastles on the NFOL purpose built seaside playground ? complete with real sand!

Cath Henson, Chair of the NFOL 2011 Organising Committee has been working hard, together with her team, to deliver a showpiece event and she said: "We're delighted by the brilliant response from Club members and we're positive it's going to be an event to remember.

"This year, we have really focused on the traditional elements of the NFOL and have organised a spectacular lighting up show and a torch-lit parade for all campers to enjoy.

"So sit back, light up your unit and enjoy the entertainment.?

The Club's Director General, Robert Louden, is also looking forward to the event and added: "The Central Counties Region has done such a fantastic job of organising what is such a highly anticipated event in the camping and caravanning calendar.?

The rally will be officially opened by Club President David Bellamy at 6.30pm on the Arena stage on Friday, August 26.

The rally is only open to Camping and Caravanning Club members.
