Pleasureland reunion in pictures

By LAURA JONES
PLEASURELAND employees came together again for the first time since the theme park's 2006 closure to relive their time at Southport's much-loved theme park.
Dozens of former fair-ground workers descended on Capilla Bar in Southport to reminisce about the good old days.

Chris Booker who worked at Pleasureland for almost a decade said: "It was a late night!
"There were people there I'd not seen since the park closed - I didn't recognise some of them, and had no idea who they were when they started talking to me. I did get a bit of stick from a few for passing on embarrassing photos to the Visiter!"

Last week's Southport Visiter "Look Back" featured snapshots of staff in the 1990s.
"About five or six people saw the paper and came along," said Chris. "It was a really good night - it was nice to hear how everyone's getting on."
One notable absence was
Stewart Lamont - the reunion's organiser was struck down by a bug and had to stay in bed.
Luckily, Stewart won't have to wait long for the next
Pleasureland reunion - Chris and the gang have already pencilled in another for December 12 this year.
