BUTLINS SKEGNESS

A.J MARRIOT - One morning, during my 1973 Season at Butlins Skegness, I was told by the Entertainments Manager, Alan Ridgway, that he was excusing me morning duties, and that I was to escort a photographer around the camp. Every now and then he would spot a scene he liked, and then snap away. A few times he asked me to go and find some children to pose with. My duties over, I wished him adieu, and thought nothing more of it. Imagine my surprise, therefore, when sometime later (it may even have been the following season) I went into the camp shop to buy some postcards, and was presented with a selection on which I was featured on FOUR of them. I immediately bought a dozen of each the two best ones (above) and sent them off to near friends and family. And that was that - GONE. Now, however, thanks to the wonders of eBay, I have been able to retrieve a few of those 'lost mementos' all these years on.

Now scroll down to find other Redcoats who were privileged to be representing Butlins,
on postcards sent all over the world.
