So what are your first memories of Butlins

[BM Admin]

So many memories! The sight of the flags as we approached the camp and feeling so excited! Then waiting in the car while Dad went in to get our chalet key. Then the sound of the stairs going up to the chalet and feeling so happy! Feeling free - the funfair - being so incredible - running from ride to ride, what seemed like all day long! The theatres, going to the children's show and then later, to the Gaiety Theatre with the whole family - watching the redcoat show. The Princes Ballroom - the music, the cinema seats all round the sides - the amusement arcades - the sounds and the SMELL of Butlins! Happy happy days

Was that Bognor in your pic?

I remember being in the coach driving down the hill into Wonderwest World, with daffodils blowing in the wind as if they were waving to everyone. I remember the chairlift over my head, and seeing a sign saying aviemore (was the name of one of the dining rooms) and thinking I was being taken skiing rather than a holiday to the seaside ????

I remember the smell of popcorn and the bright colourful fencing and buildings.
