Terri's Photos

Todays photos for the Old Stuff come from Terri, I wonder what the exchange rate would have been in the days when the photo below was taken....one things for sure it will never be as good as it was back then !

Gills Photos

Thanks to Gill for todays photos, I'm not sure of the year for any of them but the bottom 2 look as though they are from the 80s? with the top one  looking much more recent.

 Also thanks to Sue for reminding me that I've not put any photos on the blog for a few days !!

I just hadnt realised it was so long since.....where did this week go ?

Time flies when your enjoying your self !

Andy & Jackie's Pics

 Today we have another 2 photos from Andy & Jackie....in the first is a very smart looking Andy!

and in the 2nd photo is a great selection of people -  a few of which are still in Lloret....first of course are Andy & Jackie, Derek & Stewart, how many people do you recognise?

Photos From Jill

Thanks to Jill for theses photos....They're not all that 'old' but its still nice to see them and  look back on the good times!

Photos from Gill Raine

 The 'Old Stuff' photos today come from Gill, the 2nd is taken in Gerry's but what about the 1st one - where was that taken?

Mariano's Photos

 Mariano has sent more of his photos, along with a photo of some of the books of matches  from the bars and clubs in Lloret. He has given the names of staff in the first pic taken in the Foto Lloses shop, can anyone remember the Jamaica Tavern featured in the next pic from 1971? I believe its the first one we've had from there!

Photo's from Joe

Todays photos are from Joe, the year is about 1981 and I think both taken in Al Capone's.

Lloret de Mar Old Scenes

Thanks to all those who sent in their details to help with the making of the BBC programme, I believe they have now been in touch with a few of you...if so please keep us all informed of any news.

Terri's Pics

 Here we have 2 photos from Terri today which she kindly let me take from her Facebook page.

Joe's Photos

Thanks to Joe for these photos,  I recognise Mick in the middle of the top photo (he's in Lloret just now for a month or so) Kenny on the left (in Papua New Guinea), Albie (who will be packing his bag to come here again in a few days time!) and Joe on the right. Bottom photo Joe along side Stevie, who else do we know?

Photos from Gill Raine

Thanks to Gill for the photos shown today, the first taken outside Gerry's Bar and the second is a great photo of the Intersun reps...
Intersun were just about the cheapest holiday companies at the time...we often travelled to Spain with them either flying or on their coaches, I dont think I could face that coach journey ever again!!

Early Tourist's or Workers Wanted !

I have once again been contacted by the BBC asking if we can help them to find people who would like to take part in a series of programmes they are making, one of which will be about the birth of the package holiday and will be prented by Melvyn Bragg.

If anyone would like to take part please contact me at jackiereindl@gmail.com and I will pass on your details to the BBC. One person I'm sure we all know would be ideal for such a programme is 'Aunty Jean' so I'm going to contact her to see if she would like to take part, if there's any one else you can think of or any volunteers please get in touch!
 

Here is part of the email I received....

"Our programmes cover a variety of historical themes such as the home front and evacuation in the 40s, seaside holidays in the 50s, teenage life in the 50s, school life in the 1960s, The jubilee in the 70s as well as many other themes.

Any help would be gratefully received, we are really looking for characters who remember the beginning of the package holidays. Who either went on them and have stories to tell, or who may have been employed in any part of the industry - be it as a Rep, Bar or Hotel Worker ( or Owner), Cabin Crew or Airport staff."
