Pontins have been going downhill for years at one time they had 30 camps throughout Britain now they have just five, I only ever went to two, Southend, the last weekend it was open in 1982 there was a pool tournament and I went to the one at Morecambe on three occasions for a week all three for national pool tournaments. they were very good really in fact the one at Morecambe, the food was excellent

That was Middleton Towers Holiday camp - not part of Pontins - It was owned by a japanese chap. I went at the age of ten.First went to the Morecambe one in 59/60.I don't think it was a Pontins then the name Morecambe Bay Holiday Camp springs to mind but I was only 8/9 years old then so I could be wrong.(never)
You may well be right but if you want me as you're toy boy you must learn you're place.
If it helps with the year Cliff and the Shadows ( Drifters) kept on singing Living Doll While I was attempting to break my neck roller skating.
I came second in the Junior Miss Middleton contest 1952.You may well be right but if you want me as you're toy boy you must learn you're place.

I'm not looking for a toyboy, but it is nice of you to consider such an offer if I had made it.

Oh what fun we had walking over the tops to Heysham Harbour.drinking Nettle beer - riding on the Boat Swing and catching crabs in the lower regions of the harbour.
I must be getting old.
I remember going to Middleton Towers, I must ave been 8 years old, me and my brothers had a great time, I remember sailing little boats in a pool? I don't know if that was part of Middleton Towers or into Morecambe. I think my dad said it used to be a Prisoner of War camp?
