hi,
i worked both Middleton and Blackpool arcades (Blackpool before
Middletons season opened and after it shut)lived on Blackpool camp
whilst working in Coral Island Blackpool Prom and also did a Xmas at
Blackpool 1982 and actually come from Southport. I still repair
Amusent equipment now for customers in southport.
Our local paper reporeted that the £50M was split between all the
camps with £10M allocated for Southport.
Southport camp is very busy with weekend theme breaks, music
weekenders etc, but does need a lot of work!!
Luckiy its the camp i have not worked on, Middleton was and still is
my favourite.
