    Southport town is fabulous - lovely shops on Lord Street and a new traffic-free shopping street parallel to it. There's a big multi-screen cinema, bowling alley, restaurants and a few shops near the sea front very near the pier. A walk along the pier and a coffee in the building at the end of it is a nice way to pass an hour. It's a classy town but the seafront could do with a makeover.

  • Thought it wouldnt be too long before people starting listing their FREE holiday on ebay!

    Type in pontins and there are quite a few listings, you'd have thought people would just offer them on here.

  • There was loads of them sold last year as well and most made £80 or a bit less. I think its a shame as Pontins have done this as an advertising scheme to get some business in. I think its a fantastic idea dn great for those who wouldnt otherwise be able to have a holiday.

    For those worrying about the accomodation, ours was basic but had everything we needed. I am a bit of a clean freak and i was happy there last year. I have stayed at worse accomodation which was one the sun £9.50 holidays. You have to remember it is free for a reason, they need business drumming up and money coming back in.
    The entertainment was fab when we went, dd met barney and dennis the mennace. It was like disney to her! Well worth it for kids.

    I am sorry you feel that way because i am one of those terrible people.I won holiday to Southport and it is 6 hrs drive from me, i tried everyway to change it with Pontins and they wouldn't let me and I tried several times to swap it on here with no luck so what i done was bought a holiday at Hemsby last night off of ebay and put my Southport one up for sale hoping to get about the same as I paid so I still get a free holiday.
    After all if you won a TV in a competition and didn't need it would you give that away?
  • Woooohooooooo

    I won too!

    1 week in 9th july in Hemsby, does anybody want to swap, for a north west region (wales, blackpool, southport)??? Pontins said this is ok to do!

    Many thanks to the lady who posted the ad " you are a superstar":beer:

    R-R I don't think the op was referring to selling the holidays so much, the link above is "for information only" read the auction and you will see there is no holiday for sale just the knowledge of how you MAY get one, as we all know most of them are gone and the successful bidder will receive almost certainly NOTHING.
