    First of all thanks for all the great source of information . I managed to get a priority form from someone who is not going to use theirs this year.
    Do I have to still collect the tokens ?
    I have four children 14,10,9,6 what parks are the best for families
    Also if you we chose butlins is it really £10x 5 for half board,£6.50x4 for 4nights .
    What's the catch ??? I was told that it would cost £630 for myself and the children for 25/08/08 by butlins themselves
    We would love to go to butlins if I choose all three and book online is there a chance we will get them . When booking are we supposed to give all codes if so are we going to get all the in one paper . So confused . Sorry about all the questions.

    no booking form as yet ,If anybody has a spare one I would be very grateful and would be more than happy pay postage cost .

    My little boy has told my Mum and my Auntie that we are taking them pontins again this year (got a freebie last year ) so don't want to disappoint but don't fancy paying full price either .

    Please can someone explain what the significance of the priority form is? I have not booked a sun hol before so don't have one. Does it just give better chance of getting the hol you want? Sorry to sound silly!

    yes,as you are able to book online with the codes :) so you know there and then what date and park you have got

    instead of sending off the tolens with the postal application and waiting !

    not all parks are bookable online though

    One code per token,per day

    once you have all the codes,the online booking site will be open ,and you can log in with your priority number and find a holiday ! :)

    Not ALL are bookable online,but the Butlins are :)

    Butlins would be :

    £9.50 per person (paid upfront)
    £10 per person per day half board ( dont have to take this)
    £9 per person per break for passes
    £6.50 per night service charge
    you do make a great saving during school holidays :T

    If we get Butlins, which im hoping for, we will be saving £223 on a 3 night break !

    Hi There, I ahve not done the Sun holidays before but we really want to go on a long weekend in July with another family so would want two caravans at the same park. If we both collect the tokens and send them in together then will we get allocated the same park and dates etc? If anyone has done this previously then let me know.

    Thank you!

    Thank you so much Rachie B , another question though , when do the tokens start appearing and what is the earliest holiday can be booked??
    Also do you think its worth doing half board ? , never been to minehead so I dont know whether other restaraunts would be better/cheaper there .
    What accommodation do they give you sliver or standard with kitchen whether half board or not . Sorry about all the questions again .
    Many thanks again
