CALENDAR cover

The above is a picture of the Butlinland 1975 Calendar. Inside, the twelve pages displaying the
months are complemented by a mixture of indoor and outdoor scenes from various Butlin's Camps.
But all is not what it seems, for the photographs inside actually originate from the 1973 season
- some earlier. As my main interest is in Skegness, I have reproduced those pages for you below:

DEC Riding School

Here's my mate Shane Norwood, who was at Skeggy for the 1972 - 1975.
(I believe this photo was taken in 1972.)

AUG Pig &Whistle

This is taken in the Pig & Whistle Bar, at Skegness. In the foreground is a gorgeous
girl named Carol, who was one of the Revue Dancers. Look up above, and you'll
spot another very pretty Revue Dancer sat in one of the carriages, suspended
from the mini-monorail, which ran around the bar. Sadly, I can't remember her name,
and don't have a decent photo of her. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

JUN indoor pool

I believe this is the Indoor Pool, at Skegness, but then they all look the same. The
Redcoat Lifeguard, squatting down on the partition wall, certainly looks like John Aran.

JUN skating rink

Here on the Skating Rink at Skegness, can be seen Chief Redcoat - Norman Cox,
with (I think) the lovely Eileen (please correct me if I'm wrong.)

MAR playground

And last, but by all means least, is ME with two kiddies on the Roundabout.
Just think, those two little girls will be around forty-years-old now!
