Holiday Camp - Frontline Staff

Frontline Staff

One yardstick of the relative cultural impact of the three companies is that the Butlins' Redcoats (a sort of hybrid of general staff, entertainer and steward) are remembered more vividly than Pontins' Bluecoats and Warners' Greencoats whose uniform was based on the school blazer & tie worn by Captain Harry Warner as a schoolboy are hardly remembered at all. With the growth of caravan parks in the 1970s and 1980s, the entertainment teams adopted new names that didn't describe the 'stripey' style jackets they wore. Most notably were HavenMates and TeamStars.
