the Camping and Caravanning Club ('The Caravan Club Limited'), established in 1901
This mixes up two different UK clubs. The Camping and Caravanning Club was founded in 1901, but "The Caravan Club Limited" is the legal entity of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, not the Camping and Caravanning Club.
Full reasoning
Official club sources contradict this wording in two ways:
-
The Camping and Caravanning Club says it was founded in 1901 as the Association of Cycle Campers. Its own history page states: "The Club was founded in 1901 ... so from this arose 'The Association of Cycle Campers'." The same page explains that the club's name changed several times and only became "The Camping and Caravanning Club Ltd" in 1983.
-
"The Caravan Club Limited" belongs to the other organization. The Caravan and Motorhome Club's official site says it was "Founded in 1907 as the Caravan Club" and its footer states that the Caravan and Motorhome Club is a trading name of "The Caravan Club Limited".
So the article incorrectly labels the Camping and Caravanning Club as "The Caravan Club Limited." Those are different organizations with different histories and legal names.
