    31 Aug has disappeared from the list...must be all booked up.

    Got Minehead H/B on the 4th Sept. We go back to school on the 7th.
    Hopefully the weather will be a bit better then, if not, doesn't matter plenty of things to do at the site.

    Anyone been to minehead? any suggestions on must see/do?

    thanks!!!

    how old are your kids?

    i only have one boy and expecting another one, fingers crossed. a few problems with previous pregnancies.

    you sound like you might know me...:eek:...:D

    btw, the prices i gave are the ones that i saw at the till in the canteen, that's what they charge for people coming in without a meal ticket. I wasn't clear.

    i'm a little bit annoyed that i haven't received my priority booking form - i've been on two this year, so maybe they think i'm being a bit greedy!!!

    Me neither, been on virtually every one of the sun holidays... always had a priority code in the past.

    I can't be bothered messing around because I can only do the school hols, and all the priority bookers will get them dates!

    Might look at the Express ones next time (£15 for what 'upgraded' accomodation)
