    Thanks pearsoneys for listing those of us who want priority booking numbers. As I am top of the list, I will let you know if anyone is kind enough to give me a code.

    so once you have collected your tokens, and you pay your 9.50 each do you have extras to pay on top for anything,

    Yes you have to pay service charge, linen (I take my own) and for entertainment pass (we dont bother with that bit now).

    So you can get away with just paying £9.50 for each person + service charge. We usually book for 7 people even if only 4 or 5 of us are going, so there is extra space. But then you have to book 7 x £9.50 (plus service charge of course).

    Hi guys, just hoping to borrow your knowledge of the Sun holidays... We are planning to include this in this Wednesday's email.

    Do you think that it will be too late for people to grab the holidays by then; are there normally any left?

    Thanks very much!

    no i think wednesday is the last day you can join in. but if you get a priority number either from someone on here or a friend or family member then the booking doesnt even start till thursday/friday so all fine!!

    Personally, Ive managed to book Sun holidays weeks after the tokens have finished but of course there is less choice.
    Wednesday wont be too late for those with priority forms as they can get the code words from this thread and book on the Thursday. Not sure if it will be too late for those collecting paper tokens unless they manage to get them from people here?

    sorry just read T&C's. you need total of 7 differently numbered coupons. there was a bonus on sat, then sun was a bonus and today is number one so today is the last day you can start collecting! so probably only good for those online with priority numbers. sorry!

    Ohh I forgot to get today's paper. Must get to tesco.
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I have in the past not got a priority form so all I done was phone the Sun and they will give you a new code

    Hi There,
    I am hoping to go on this as I have never been before. It will only be me and my son as I dont have anyone else to come with us. I have read thiss thread and noticed that most of you have got booking/priority forms. Does this only apply to those who have gone on these holidays before?Also are the holidays for butlins/haven sites or different places?
    My son loves butlins and I would love to take him again. Ive heard that there is no way we can get dates for rhe school holidays and I dont think the school will allow time off especially when they return after the summer holidays.
    If anyone has a priority booking form which they will not be using I would be so grateful If I can have it. If not no worries but thank you anyway.
