Works out more expensive then and the kids want to go to Butlins - all is not lost though as I am going to use my Tesco vouchers to go there instead0

It was my suggestion but I haven't actually done it so I don't know what time they open the gate to let people pay to come in, or how much they charge. I have seen leaflets in service stations before, for kids go free and I think the adult charge was £15 but I could be wrong - often am, my memory is terrible.52% tight0

i made enquiries last year to see how much it would cost and the chances of getting in minehead on a day pass they said that during the half term and summer time it depends on how full the site is as they are only allowed a certain number of visitors they said that i would have to call the morning of when i wanted to go in order for them to check their capacity, needless to say i did not bother - luckily i live only an hour away however no one in their right mind is going to phone at 8 and then get on the road half the day will be gone. my neice and nephew were disappointed :mad:It was my suggestion but I haven't actually done it so I don't know what time they open the gate to let people pay to come in, or how much they charge.

when we stayed @ Minehead in october ( not a sun holiday)
my mum and dad were staying nearby in their touring caravan,and came to visit on a few days
they were able to get their day entry half price, because we were staying there !
i think it was 9.30am til 6pm you can stay there ( BUT mum stayed late one night ,til 9pm i think ,who's to know?!!)
ah here you go http://www.butlins.com/day-visitors/index.aspx0 -

As you went in October one would imagine it would have been easier to go in on a day pass however if anyone is thinking of trying to get in on a day pass in the school holidays i would say you have little chance. I wanted to go on a bank holiday monday.2010 - Goals

Without stating the obvious - but what booking ref number are we up to now? Since all reservations booked so far have used combination of internet & 'guesswork' to pre-empt publication of 8th code word, will 'they' be looking at this as a problem or 'opportunity'?0
