A very British institution is the Holiday Camp. At the heart of
Pontin's Holidays was the entertainments team-the Bluecoats. When
not running competitions and bingo, introducing cabaret acts,
acting as compere for Glamorous Grandmother and Talent shows, and
performing in the weekly Bluecoat Show, they mingled with
guests-"campers"-telling jokes, being charming, and being pretty
adept at the waltz and the foxtrot. An oft-asked question was "What
do you do in the winter?" In 1982, two Bluecoats, one from Wales,
one from Scotland, found themselves working together and falling in
love. At the end of the season, separated, their love letters
answered this question. In an age before mobile phones, texts,
social networking, digital cameras, and the Internet, these letters
explore the difficulties, frustrations, doubts, and occasional
hilarity of loving at a distance and surviving Thatcher's Britain.
The letters span the period from near the end of the 1982 season to
the start of the 1984 season, and cover working at three Pontin's
Holiday Camps.
