The Martello Collection

We have so many happy memories of the Martello Caravan Park over the years - from the kids entertainment and dancing all night to the Robin Garton band, or later with Bryan and Charlie. Entertainment from Uncle Lennie, The Skatepark and more...

Austin's Prize Bingo

Where you could win all sorts of fun and practical prizes, everything from toys and teddy bears, to sets of cups and saucers. We nearly always won something on 'chinese corners' saving up our tokens for something special!
