Lucky camper who won a bottle of champagne. It must have been a Saturday, as we all wore kilts to welcome the new campers to Scotland, on Saturdays.

1954
REDCOATS REUNITED Butlins Ayr 1954 swimming gala
The usual fun and games at the swimming pool, Sunday morning, to the delight of the campers and dismay of the Redcoats! Knocker White was looking as if proceedings were going a little over the top. Needless to say, if it got to a certain point, there was little or nothing one could do to stop it.
Holding the children back, L-R: Mary, Doreen Perry (me), Colleen Hilliard, Kathy Clemson.

1955
REDCOATS REUNITED Butlins Ayr 1955 Redcoat Party

Lou Grant standing.

The strange thing about all this, is that we are talking about times which were only a few years after the war, when a lot of Campers were holidaying again for the first time, and many with husbands and fathers recently home. The "Mix and Mingle " phrase we lived by, to see that everyone was happy, certainly made sense.
