I felt the exact same as you. That’s partly another reason why I wasn’t in a rush to go back. You’ve taken a massive step you should be so proud a lot of people don’t do this step but you’re right. Please rest up and enjoy what life is, it’s very hard to forget with the amount of hours and seclusion of working at these venues but I’m glad once you realised you’ve taken the step to do something else now rather than being sad, big hugs your way xXx
glad to know your safe I was worried because I hadn't seen you for a while, sad to hear that you left the company, I am glad I got to meet you at the start of season when I did, you are an amazing performer the shows won't be the same without you, never give up performing, may the road ahead be prosperous and bring you the joy in which you deserve. don't be a stranger at park
Absolutely gutted Shannon.We have enjoyed many family holidays in Brean with you as a brilliant performer.Best of luck in the future, anything you decide to do you will be amazing at it I’m sure 🤍
Shan you are so strong! I wish you all the best to whatever path you choose next wether you go back to performing or not. You smash everything life throws at you and for that I’m so proud of you! Time time for yourself x
honestly you are so strong for dealing with all that. you take as much time as you need you are still young and have a long career ahead of you whether that's in performing or not. you rock the world girl and let them hear you sing when you're ready.
You are gonna be so missed. Me and kids love going pontins. Kids look out for the regular ones they know and you was one of them that they loved. So they are gonna miss you. We wish you the best for the future. Will you still do your channel on here? X
I left 21 years ago, I will like and subscribe if you can teach me the Chocolatte dance, the party dances have all changed over the years, just like the staff, thankfully some nice bloke on UA-cam has posted the original Crocodile March song so i can sing along and March around my room when ever i want, good luck whatever path you choose.
Good for you Shannon. Pontins parent company Britannia Hotels are not the nicest people to work for, the Pontins team sound like they supported your decision. Onwards and upwards!
Just found your channel, I’ve been to numerous holiday camps over the years, chatted to many bluecoats, redcoats etc, By what I can gather it is full on from when u get up to the early hours, pay has always appeared to be very little, I have known entertainment staff, to go into work, and read bingo, when there voice had gone, I can see why 4 summers would enough, I’ve always wanted to have that type of job, but story’s I’ve heard have put me off
Yeah it’s definitely a very demanding job, you have to love it to get the most out of it of course! But it was definitely an experience and I have learnt so much from it!x
It is a shame Pontins does not invest in accommodation and staff. With a bit of effort it could be so much better and guests returning would bring in good profits. .
I would say I’ve packed that away now. I really would love to perform again, but I don’t think the job and lifestyle as an entertainer is really for me anymore. But it was a brilliant experience!
@@ShannonTownsend did 10 years at Rank when Ladbrokes, Warner, Haven and Butlins (and Pontins) had live resident bands. Got out for similar reasons to you.
So sad that following the law meant your name was muddied. They broke the law. They could do with more people like you standing up to the company. You gave them your all and they gave you nothing xx

That’s similar to why I didn’t go back to haven too and I chose to leave.

I completely agree!!
Do You Think If They Made Improvements Etc Would You Go Back To Be A Bluecoat Or Have You "Packed Away" Your Bluecoat Uniform For Good?
I would say I’ve packed that away now. I really would love to perform again, but I don’t think the job and lifestyle as an entertainer is really for me anymore. But it was a brilliant experience!
@@ShannonTownsend aww that fair enough
Always stay true to yourself, no matter what. Good for you making such a big decision. Here's a thought..why don't you try acting?
Thank you!! It’s definitely an option!x
You got too big-headed after winning blue coat of the year.
😂😂😂 Things like that really do go to your head sometimes😂
😂😂😂😂

You were not part of the Zoot Band by any chance at Brean in the 90's?
@@mrwurzal no! But I have played at Brean in the early 90’s in resident band.

Go on mum!😂💪🏻
