Inside,
the
twelve pages displaying the months are complemented by a mixture of
indoor and outdoor scenes from
various Butlins 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:

Here's
my mate Shane Norwood, who was at Skeggy for the 1972-1976 seasons.
(I believe this photo was
taken in
1972.)

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, Lynn, sat in
one of
the carriages, suspended from the mini-monorail, which ran around the
bar.

I believe
this
is the Indoor Pool, at Skegness, but then they all look similar.
The Redcoat Lifeguard, squatting down on the partition wall, certainly
looks like John Aran, who was there in 1973.

Here on the
Skating Rink at Skegness, can be seen [I believe]
Chief Redcoat - Norman Cox, with Redcoat Eileen. 1973

And
last, but by all means least, is ME - 'A.J' Marriot - with two
kiddies on the
roundabout. Just think, those two little girls will be over
fifty-years-old now!
