Keycamp Holidays - Les Amiaux, Vendee France - 1989 - Dean Harvey looking for Steve Rope

FAO: Steve Rope, Lindsay (Lyndsay) Bearcroft, Biffa, Jason Wood (AKA Woody), Pete Rogers (Rodgers), Pete Flack, Linda Aplin, Milo - Vendee Les Amiaux, Keycamp Circa 1989

In the dim and distant past back in 1989 I did my first summer season as a Keycamp holiday rep. Otherwise known as campsite couriers this 19 year old (as I was then) had a ball in the Vendee in France. Based on camping les amiaux in St Jean De Monts our main duties were montage and cleaning tents and caravans.

Anyhoo, the point of this post is that there ws a chap called Steve Rope from Norwich. He had compiled a tape collection (as you did in those days) which became our stalwart party, cleaning, brushing your teeth and doing everything to tape......

I'm attempting to recreate this tape collection and am posting in the vain hope that at some stage this post will be read by one of the gang from those days a long time ago....

This is how far I've got with the collection:

Ace of spades - Motorhead
baby take your teeth out - Frank Zappa
Carry Bag Man - The Fall
Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins
