Sorry only just found this thread.
Well my thinking is that we should get as many of us as possible together for a celebration of the 75th at Minehead. There is already another 75th get together being organised over on butlinsmemories.com for Skegness. Some people prefer Skegness because it is the first camp that opened 75 years ago.
While I can see the logic in that, I personally prefer Minehead because it still looks much more like a traditional Butlins and in fact much more like Skegness itself would have when it opened. Skegness on the other hand, like Bognor, has changed almost beyond recognition, sadly.
Now to some people that may not matter but to me it does, so I will be celebrating the 75th anniversary at Minehead.
So if you'd like to join me please for now just post a message here to say so, and if you have any particular ideas for dates put them here too. I am personally waiting to hear what Butlins has planned as I think they might be planning special celebrations for a particular week, in which case I'd like to be there that week. If those official celebrations are only at Skegness I might even change my mind and stay there. I just hope Butlins announce their plans soon as in my opinion they've already left it far too late.
However, maybe if there's a decent number of us going as a group to celebrate we could organise a bit of our own entertainment or activities. Obviously the more people going the bigger and better this could be.
So, who's up for it?
