I remember going to Pontins at Camber Sands a couple of times (I remember the paddle boats and the main entrance where I saw my first ever arcade machine "boot hill"), then every year after that was to Ladbrokes at Caister. The highlight for me (not including the drive into Great Yarmouth for the seafront rides) was always the gift shop, radio controlled tanks and the Amusement Arcade under Neptune's Palace!
We'd also get to stay up late, drink lots of cola and even get fish and chips on the way back to the chalet!
Have lots of fond memories of that place, my folks even take their grandkids there now!

Camber Sands for me too..15 years running.
we never went to Pontins, too much like a stalag with its loudspeakers and regime. Although we used to sneak in there over the fence.We used to stay at Maddiesons camp further up the road or Silver Sands.
Still a fantastic place for a day at the beach,but a bit of a Chav haven.

Re: Holidays - Where did you go?

If only we knew back then, how much they/things would end up meaning now

Re: Holidays - Where did you go?

True..but if I'd kept everything that brought back happy memories,I'd need a warehouse
