Oh Skeggy

What joy it was. I went there as a child & fell out of the top bunk and ended up with a black eye.


Though I did come second in the "Mr Tarzan" which was nice.


And I'm sure I can see my self in the John Hinde/Martin Parr book, roller-skating away, dreaming of baked beans and lumpy mash in a hall filled with strangers.



Really, it was fab.



Nette:-S

The only experience I have of Skeggy Butlins was wandering around in the middle of the night on Acid when everything was closed (we weren't residents, and if memory serves we'd jumped a fence). Once we'd decided that the noise coming from the generator buildings was in fact generators and not a night club that we couldn't find the entrance for (took us about 45 minutes), we met some guys from nottingham- did a few bongs and ended up skinny dipping in the outdoor pool.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
