Martello Membership card and badge packs 60-80s

One of the best things about the Martello was the entertainment. With three bars to choose from: Napoleon Suite, Wellington Suite and the Tower Bar you were spoilt for choice.

If you were a visitor to any of the bars you would have needed to show your membership card, and if you were a caravan owner's child or went on holiday with your parents in the 70s and 80s, you would have received a badge to wear with your caravan number on the back or front.

Three packs to choose from: 60s, 70s and 80s. High quality replicas:

• 60s pack: 2 x different 60s era membership cards only
• 70s pack: 2 x different 70s era membership cards and a 'sunshine badge' (38mm)
• 80s era: 4-page membership card and the blue membership badge (58mm)

All membership cards are left blank for you to write in your favourite holiday dates, or caravan number. Some 70s designs feature a date stamp.  So if you let us know your dates we will also 'stamp' them for you where applicable.

Originating as the Southcliffe Trailer Camp, The Martello Caravan Park was established by Douglas Garton, a Colchester based transport contractor, along with Florence Garton and Kate Norfolk.

The Gartons' son Robin, later provided the entertainment at the Martello with his band.  Robin also ran a Studio from the basement of the Martello tower on-site, producing jingles, advertisements, recordings, even recording his own band's singles on the Big T / Martello label.

Many other entertainers would appear over the course of the years at the Martello as well as Robin's much loved dance band; the Benny Harris Set, Bryan and Charlie, and later Bryan and Tom (after Charlie sadly passed away). Many of whom are also featured in our Martello Collection.
