Just wondering did anyone ever go to Pontins as a kid?
I had some great holidays at Pontins and have even created a website as a shrine to 'The best Pontins camp ever' Pontins Dolphin which sadly is no more.

Happy New Year! ;o)

Before we emigrated to HK in 73, we all went to Butlins in Filey, and I swear as a kid its the greatest thing. Looking back it WAS tacky with chalets and knobbly knees contests, but when you are 11, its really is the dogs bollocks.
After 2 weeks in Hong Kong, Butlins at Filey was erased from my memory

It is well known that in their heyday before all this Club Rep bollocks, people were falling over themselves to be a redcoat. The wages and hours were SHIT but the shagging and orgies were legendary, and well worth working a season for

I went as a kid to pontins at Camber Sands and Wick Ferry.
I really remember it as being very Hi-De-Hi and as a kid had a great time. Fond memories indeed.
