BUTLINS SKEGNESS 1980

Our grateful thanks go to MARTIN KELLEHER for the following photos and memories.

Two typical line-ups for the "Bouncing Baby" Competition. Or, as we used to call it:
"The Baby who can eat most of the number card inside 15 minutes."

The idea of the "Dad & Lad" competition was to find the son who looked most like his father,
which didn't give much of a chance to the sons of the men with beards and moustaches.

Martin wisely jumps out of the way of a pack of stampeding
donkeys, after telling the jockeys to get their asses in gear.

Two donkeys, two jockeys, two owners, and three posers

The Lovely Legs Competition - where extra points were
given to the ladies who showed you their navel.

Two of the Redcoats were so dazzled by the beauty
of the winners that they had to put sunglasses on.

MISS SHE competition - where the winner was the "best-dressed lady,"
(whereas most Redcoat males went for the best UN-dressed lady.)

The MOTHER and CHILD competition - where the winner was
the mother who could get her child to stand still for more than 30 seconds.

The line-up of Winners in the HOLIDAY PRINCESS.
(Please note that the person in shorts is not one of the contestants.)
