Outdoor changing "beach huts"

CL has had an idea (it's not as if he ever has one of those :P)!

well i thought to add some more atmosphere to the outdoor splash zone & pools get some beach hut shaped changing rooms people at the moment hae to go into splash then out again and just thought it would be nice:)

His Facebook message to me...

I love this idea a lot, and think it could really work, it's just what Butlins needs, I mean, if Haven can do it, then Butlins can do it... just better!

Trains to Skegness resort

If you get the train to Skegness (like me), you may or may not already know that Nottingham station is closing in July. This doesn't affect me, because I don't need to go through there. If you do, you may need to check your travel options. Callum told me this, so I thought, for all you Butlins fans... You'd want to know!

Stars of BGT

What acts would you like to see at Butlins from BGT 2013? Our favourites are Jack Carrol and Attarction, comment!!!!

Butlins Bognor Helter Skelter dismantled.

Today in Bognor Regis, the newly installed Helter Skelter was in the process of being dismantled. Why we do not know, and will report back when we do. Everyone on Facebook is still awaiting confirmation of this, however, a community member, who was at Bognor this morning, said;

it was being taken down, and placed on to a lorry...

When we know why it has been removed, as previously said, we'll update you!

Minehead's entertainment problem, un - changed

Minehead has recently seen a lack of entertainment.

Many guests have been complaining about it, which, is never a good thing. This needs to stop.

On a recent break to MH, CL reported to me the party dances. Most nights the party dances were the same, this is not acceptable. We're never ones to complain, but, Butlins blasting out Agadoo every night isn't top class entertainment is it... #Pontins! Thats something NOBODY wants to hear at Butlins!

We're obviously not going to be complaining much about this, but, just for the record, CL sent his findings every night. This was done so that whoever was on the next morning would see what MH's part dances were like! Callum received a response. They said they do a party dance mash up. This may be, but CL, didn't see this... 

When asked why MH's entertainment stops at 3:30, Butlins:TheBlog received this response;

We know a lot of people like dinner earlier so they are able to other sports activities or visit Splash Waterworld which is why our daytime entertainment usually finishes at about this time.

This is a modified quote from a message CL received from Butlins. We shared it so you could see the outcome of the messages. We are not allowed to show the original quote, or whole message, due to rules from the Butlins Social Media Team, the kings of social media!

Butlins Timeline

At ButlinsTheBlog, we want EVERYONE to know about Butlin's long, and interesting history, we're working on an interactive timeline for Butlins! This'll be on our blog, for you to enjoy, and possibly download. The idea for this came from a post Kim Sutton (our friend from Facebook) wrote on the Butlins wall. We saw her post and thought of it... she originally wanted to know about Butlins Ayr!

Thanks Kim!
