thanks for sharing the history. this is what i would love to relive again from when i was young in OZ camp. I had hoped to enjoy in the UK but sadly it is a disappearing saga. :(

Butlins what can i say, holiday camp for working people, red coats, blue coats, the pig and whistle, kids tucked up in bed,early moning call [ good morning campers]carbolic soap, uncle Boko, the freezing out door pool, and kids crying when the week was up, to go back home to the depressing excistance of the 1950s.
