Colony Holidays

[toffeecashews]

Did anybody else go on these children's holiday camps? They ran up until the mid 1980s I believe.

Happy memories here of the Wide Game, making macrame owls, oddly coloured mashed potato and singing lots of songs.

Yes! I had a brilliant time, got worms and cried when it was time to come home.

Nice memories there! Which centres did you go to?

@toffeecashews I can’t remember the name of the place, just that it was near Towcester, which I thought was hilarious, because “toaster”.

I went to that one as well, no idea what it was called either. I went there and Moor Park, Linden Manor, Featherstone Castle and Bilston Grange.
