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."
