Ron Stanway: Thank you to Dave Sansome and Russell Rees-Davies for your comments re TV's recent 'Butlin Story'. I thought it historically very good but thought there could have been some of the more unusual things - something to make the viewers say

sbailey76: just wondered if there is anywhere that i can view old brochures from the early 80's?? i was in it with my family and would love to get a copy of the brochure/picture as my father is no longer with us and would be great to share with my family.

Junior-miss71: Happy New Year Xxx

marlbryn: hi everyone used to work as radio Butlin in Minehead 1967 and still got the wake up call 45 record

KAF2: See page 15 of the albums, under Ash's album for a photo of him - http://www.butlinsmemories.com/forums/album.php?albumid=48

KAF2: Who is the 'Uncle Rhubarb' posting on here? Because presumably the name has come from the fantastic Redcoat at Skeggy in the early 80s!

sammye99: Uncle Rhubarb if you book standard dinner bed

Uncle Rhubarb: Thank you for that wizedy. Is there any way i can guarantee one of the single storey chalets when booking?

chrisjchallis: got a guiness world record todayu lego tower at skeggy

chrisjchallis: got the world record for tallest lego tower today at skeggy

wizedy: Uncle Rhubardb they are standard

Uncle Rhubarb: What grade of accomodation are the single storey chalets behind the Front Room at SKegness?

Dave Sansome: RRD Hey we have to do it soon the future is getting small !!

Russell Rees-Davies: Received a Book written by ex-Reds Rocky Mason and Frank McGroarty, called 'Here Come The Redcoat'.

Russell Rees-Davies: Ha! Ha! I don't know Dave but I'm sure some of the long serving Reds/managers will do something in the future.

Dave Sansome: RRD..can we persuade him to make such a Documentry

Frank Kennedy: clacton 1968

Russell Rees-Davies: As Dave Sansome said, I too was surprised thay Ron Stanway wasn't on the film.

derektait: I'm looking for photos to feature in a new book about Butlins. If anyone can help.could they please contact me at derek.tait@virgin.net

derektait: New Butlins book

goodie: Poor effort in my opinion. The producers had at their disposal memories from a cast of millions and 75 years of one of the finest British institutions

Matthew Willbye: not a bad documentary last night

Dave Sansome: Well I thought it was not up to standard and rather flat.

Steve Cartwright: Rocky Mason

Ben Mower: The Butlins Story Was Great

Dave Sansome: Well I thought the Butlin story was going to be good why didnt it have Ron Stanway on it...and Redcoats telling their stories,oh Happy Christmas.
