  • Biographies of Leading DHS Cricketers Jack Siedle
    Biographies of leading DHS cricketers Jack Siedle Ivan Julian "Jack" Siedle (11 January 1903 – 24 August 1982) was a South African cricketer who played in 18 Tests from 1927–28 to 1935–36. Family background and personal life Born on 11 January 1903 in Berea, Durban, Natal, Siedle was the youngest son of Otto Siedle, who was born in Woolwich, London of southern German stock and who trained as a watchmaker, subsequently emigrating to Durban where he became prominent in the shipping business and public affairs. Otto Siedle's wife Mary became deputy mayor of Durban. Jack's older brother Karl Siedle played first-class cricket for Natal before the First World War, in which he was killed; his sister Perla Siedle Gibson became a well-known singer and a symbol of her country during the Second World War. Siedle married Lesley Maud McPherson on 14 March 1931, with his cricket colleague Eric Dalton as best man. Their son, John Siedle (1932–2008), played a few first-class cricket matches for Natal and Western Province in the mid- 1950s. Early cricket career A right-hander who played for Natal for 15 seasons from 1922–23 to 1936–37, Jack Siedle bowled occasionally and kept wicket just as infrequently, but his chief value to South Africa was as an opening batsman. He had had no great success when he was picked, in the 1923–24 season, for the match that was the trial for the 1924 tour to England and the 56 he scored in his second innings there was his highest score to that point, as well as the top score for his side, but he was not picked for the tour.

  • BUTLINS - Get to Know Us
    BUTLINS - Get To Know Us A lot of things have changed since Sir Billy Butlin opened our first resort in Skegness, Lincolnshire, in 1936 (he wouldn’t even recognise the resorts these days!), but the reason that we’re here remains the same. During the 1930s and the post-war years, Billy could see that Britain had become a stressful place and that families were weighed down with the burden of rebuilding a country. Life had become routine and mundane, words that Billy didn’t like very much at all. He knew that families needed a place where they could get away from it all and just spend some time together – having a laugh and rediscovering those little things that make their family special. He imagined a place of sparkling fun and relaxation for families. That place was our first Butlins resort. Today we know that families work harder and for longer hours than ever. The time we put aside for each other often gets lost in the daily grind – it’s easily done. Our three Butlins Resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness, offer the perfect place for families to unwind, have a great time together and they leave chock-full of precious memories. Yes, a lot has changed over the years, but our purpose remains the same. Generation X vs. Generation Y – A decade of online shopping. Online shopping is among the most popular internet activities and about 80% of the U. S. population buys online, with electronics and tourism (flights, travel, hotels) as the leading categories for online shopping.

  • Historic-Site-Butlins-Skegness.Pdf
    Historical Sites Butlin’s Skegness Butlin’s Skegness The Butlin’s brand name was to define the family holiday experience, and in doing so it was to change the face of the British leisure industry. The historical context Holiday trends in Britain in the early 20th century By the late 19th century, the railways had opened up most of the country to tourism and holidays in the countryside or, for most people, at the seaside. The initial beneficiaries of cheaper transport were the middle classes, but by the turn of the century the tradition of the British working-class holiday was firmly established, especially to seaside resorts, whether as a long stay visit or a daytrip. Resorts such as Blackpool, Scarborough and Southend became popular, and a whole entertainment industry sprung up to cater to tourists. The census of 1911 reveals that 55% of English people were visiting the seaside on day excursions, while 20% were talking holidays requiring accommodation. Many of the visitors could not afford to stay at expensive seafront hotels and sought out cheaper accommodation in guesthouses and “bed and breakfast” houses. The first guesthouses had a reputation for being run-down places, ruled by tyrannical landladies with lists of rules and regulations. As standards improved, families often returned to the same guesthouses year after year. Camping became popular in the late 19th century, and after the First World War, “pioneer camps” opened, offering basic accommodation with a “hands on” approach. Life under canvas increased in popularity in the inter-war period in line with the trend towards healthy outdoor living.

  • The Long Walk
    1 The Long Walk The Long Walk Introduction In February 1960, I had only been a member of Birchfield Harriers a few months and was still at school. In that short time I had the privilege of seeing and meeting many athletes who were at the time, ‘stars’. The word ‘superstar’ hadn’t yet been invented. I was in awe of athletes like Peter Radford; Mike Rawson; Mike Farrell and John Salisbury who all trained regularly at the old Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr. But who was that woman walking round the boards with a group of girls? She was one athlete that was soon to become a “superstar”, to me at least, even though the word at that stage wasn’t in my vocabulary. She was a 31 year old International Race Walker, holder of the British Mile record of 7 minutes 38.4 seconds set in 1954, had recently led a team of four to victory in the very first women’s walking international against Denmark in Copenhagen. She had been six times Midland mile track champion, four times British mile track champion, three times Midland road walking champion and the current British road walking champion. Her name was Beryl Randle. Before the days of the running boom in the late 70’s early 80’s and the advent of the fun run prompted by a certain James Fixx, there was an equivalent called the sponsored walk. This sprung from the efforts of a rather eccentric vegetarian by the name of Dr Barbara Moore who walked from John O’Groats to Land’s End amidst a blaze of publicity.

  • The Butlins Future Report a Study of How the Changing Shape of British Families Will Impact on Holidaying in 25 Years Time Introduction
    The Butlins Future Report A study of how the changing shape of British families will impact on holidaying in 25 years time Introduction Contents Introduction Page 1 Rise of the Relation Vacation Page 2 Expanding for Generation Xtra Page 5 New Breed of Super-Gs Page 10 3D Dads Page 13 Leisure Economy Page 16 Conclusion Page 19 Butlins: Evolving the Experience Page 20 Contact Details Page 21 Introduction The Butlins Future Report looks forward 25 years to examine the exciting potential of British holidays and family fun in 2037. Having just celebrated our 75th birthday, our research comes as we prepare to launch the most ambitious hotel in Butlins history – Wave Hotel & Apartments at Bognor Regis. To celebrate this we wanted to take our insight to a new level and understand what family life could be like when we reach our 100th birthday. This report isn’t about hovering hotel rooms and robot-run resorts. When it comes to holidaying in Britain, our research highlights that intergenerational re-connection breaks, offering the chance to create sparkling memories, will become increasingly fundamental to family life by 2037. Our own Butlins insight team worked with Trajectory, UK trend forecasters, to assess the changing shape and needs of families in 25 years time and identify emerging lifestyle trends which will impact on how we holiday in the future. This is underpinned by quantitative research amongst young people, parents and grandparents on their hopes and aspirations for family time in the future. To add to this, we’ve also asked young future-gazers to tell us what they want from their hotel of the future.
