Happy Childhood Holidays
I have very happy memories of staying at Rogerson Hall Holiday Camp. We stayed here every year for two weeks in August from about 1962 to 1968. Every year my brother and I took part in the children's fancy dress competition. I can remember the fun of staying in the chalets and how neat and tidy the grounds were kept. I learnt to dance the 'Gay Gordon' with my dad and how to do the twist! My brother learnt how to fly a kite and won a tomahawk in one of the children's competitions.
I remember the sound of the skylarks who nested in the fields surrounding the camp and found it fascinating that Birds Eye grew peas in the field next door which were often harvested when we were staying there.
Oh happy days when I was a child and life was carefree!
