The Longbridge Camping & Caravan Club was started in 1969 with eleven dedicated campers and first met on the 14th November to form an official “Works Camping Club”. At the first meeting, a committee was elected, the Chairman being Frank Richards, Treasurer Les Crockett, Secretary Mo Richards and the Chief Camp Official Rex Hamilton – all of whom were employed by Austin Motor Company, Longbridge, which at the time was part of the larger British Motor Corporation (BMC). In the early days, it was hoped to call the club “The Austin Camping & Caravan Club”, but this was not possible and so we became “Longbridge Camping & Caravan Club”
