    There was one in the News of the World but it didnt have a code wode on it.

    They work by you collect however many tokens the Sun are asking for that year (it was 4 when I first started, now it's gone up to 6 :rolleyes: ). Then you fill in the form with a choice of 3 holiday parks and 3 dates. Then they allocate them on a first come first served basis. It costs £9.50 per person but that includes all people. So if your taking a baby they also have to pay £9.50 and it's for a minimum of 4 people. So even if theres only 3 of you going you still have to pay for 4. But it's still a cheap holiday and a nice pick you up just before the winter starts.

    I've had varying standards of accommodation ranging from a really dirty, horrible, cold chalet in Hemsby to a lovely centrally heated, all mod cons 4 bedroomed caravan in Caister. So I guess it's the luck of the draw.

    The site was "Les Etangs Fleuris"..There's not much nearby as I mentioned before..A small family run site..It's a Haven caravan.Good base for Disney.Only ideal for a weekend break I would say.Nearest supermarket is about 20 mins away but they have a local shop 5 minutes away.You have to order you fresh bread from the site the night before for next day delivery.
    We went out for the day and went to the village bakery that delivers the bread for the site and bought some bread and they charged us more as we were english.They guessed we were off the campsite so charged us the campsite price which was naughty as we could of been passing through.
    Apart from that it's a nice site
