Family was looking at a cheap holiday there this year. We were warned off very quickly... Having done Pontins at Southport last year, I'm dubious to even stay there for free again! So it's sad, but I'm really not surprised...

We went to blackpool pontins a few times when I was little, around 1967.

We were all divided up and given cigarette names for our groups I think, we were in Embassy. :lol:

Hi Border Collie!

Did Pontins come with a Government Health warning back then? :)
