Thread Name: Butlins Great British Folk Weekend 2014
Subject: RE: Butlins Great British Folk Weekend 2014
I once went ,with some folk-inclined fellow sailors from Lee-on-Solent to Bognor Regis .We met a couple of girls (in a pub ,naturally ) who were hostesses or whatever you call them,at Butlins Holiday Camp in Bognor.They invited us back to Camp with them, and told us to say that we were new staff who had just arrived . So we did this,got past the security men on the gate, went to the restaurant for a staff meal, got allocated to a chalet,played lots of "folk" music to a huge , enthusiastic audience of "happy clappy" Christians who were having some sort of convention there , and "got away" with it for three days before being found out and forcibly ejected !! One of my favourite "escapades" ( and yes !; the food was good !).Never been to Skegness though, however bracing it may be.
