I worked there in the early nineties when the chalets were still there and the looping star and chair lifts and the shows were all still there and went all through the 80's for day trips with my cousins and all the family and it was agreat day out.I went back to work there in 2003 and it is absolute shit now. Most of it has been all knocked down,like the village and harlaquins etc. It will never be the same again,so sad.
I started a new group on facebook, CAMPAIGN FOR BUTLINS TO OPEN IN SCOTLAND. If there's enough interest I'll contact Butlins regarding this so please join the group if you too would like to see butlins back in Scotland! Thanks.
@munches123 yeh completely ruined now,wonderwest world was class, harlequines ballrom was where we used to go every nyt,always remember the lighting on the foot of the stairs. oh and cant beat the looping star lol.
im going to skegness tomorrow. But sigh i know it wont be anything as good as this. Esp as my boyfriend and his family have spent most of there old holidays at butlins camps. Mainly pwllheli, and clacton. Although he did say they went to ayr once. They got mixed cine film footage, of it. So maybe if its not too hard i might be able to get him to load his old footage :)
