In 1969
I joined the Ayr Entertainments team as a lifeguard during the day, and
Redcoat in the evenings.
I returned in 1970, and now here in 1971 I'm doing my third season at BUTLINS AYR. [You can view my '69 and '70 seasons by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page.] ALAN RIDGWAY was the Ent's Manager for my first two seasons, but here in 71 BRETT CRESSWELL took over that role, and brought in almost a completely new team - meaning that most of my old mates had gone.

And
so, with all the Redcoats waving GOODBYE - in the finale of the Redcoat
Show - that is also my fond farewell to Butlins. I'd had three fabulous
seasons, during which I met some really nice campers, some super staff
members, and worked with some terrific Redcoats, Entertainers, and
Managers.
Albert Mosley I'd been a Lifeguard, done Redcoat duties, and then, during this 1971 season, been promoted to Chief Redcoat. I'd also appeared in the Redcoat Shows for all three seasons. So I'd had a great time - and what great times they were. Wish I could do it all again!! |
