The ‘Knaus Motorhome Owners Club of Great Britain’ was officially formed during the first meeting of its members, on the weekend of 30th August to 2nd September 2002.
The founding members, Bill and Jean Sier of Cambridgeshire, had been responsible for forming the ‘Laika’ motorhome owners club some ten years previously and had guided it through its infancy to see it grow in popularity.
Bill and Jean changed their unit for a Knaus Sun Traveller and, upon realising there was no UK club (and subsequently very little support) for Knaus owners, decided to write to the ‘letters’ column in the Motorcaravan & Motorhome Monthly magazine in order to see if there was sufficient interest in forming a new owners club.
The resultant first meeting of the group took place at Waterfront Country Park camping site at West Stockwith, nr. Chesterfield, which saw eight units attend.
Their previous experience with motorhoming and their efforts to bring about a new club (with all its advantages) led them to volunteer in guiding this new club for the first year. A periodic news sheet, the Knaus Kontakt , is already in circulation and further meetings are planned.
Today our present Chairman is Clive Egginton assisted by secretary Susanna Brooking, Membership Secretary Christine Bourner and Treasurer Mike Bourner.
The club’s membership of 80 plus members is widely spread throughout most of the UK, with the AGM being held at the Peterborough Show.
We meet several times a year, the main venues being the Peterborough Show in April and the Lincoln show in September. Norfolk, Scarborough, Barnoldswick, Pateley Bridge and Malvern have all seen rallies by the Knaus Owners Club GB in recent years.
As with all modern organisations Facebook is the way we communicate with our own Knaus Owners Facebook Group.
