BUTLINS PWLLHELI 1965
FRANKIE SPEAKING - Part
III
By Frankie Bull
One day I was confronted by two girls who asked if I could direct them to the Entertainment Office. I replied "Oh no, not more bloody Australians". The laugh, in the long run, was on me. One of those two girls became my wife and we are still together after 45 years. Such is life. (This is the "fate" bit I referred to in Part I.)

And here is that lovely girl, WENDY GIBSON, |
Wendy - my only train of thought since the day I met her. |

Remember the old gag: "What do you call a group
of Reds?" Ans: "A clot" |

One of my fellow Redcoats was Rod Skinner, who was a good drummer (see above), and we holidayed in Majorca for a couple of weeks at the end of season. It was there I realised that Wendy was the girl for me, much to Rod's disdain. Wendy and I then got engaged and she came to my hometown to live with me and my family during the 65-66 winter.
I declined the offer of further winter work with Butlins, and took a job as resident compere/vocalist in a country pub that was owned by one of my schoolmate's parents. Good days.
