Just got back from the Minehead rally had a great time due in no small way to the efforts of the Organisers so thanks to Sue and Ian for a great job.
As expected the 'Butlins thing' wasn't really for us but we did enjoy the show we went to. The company on the site was great. Good old MHF
BTW campsite databasewise we were on the site for £10.25 a night and apart from the fact that the fee also gave you the Butlins entertainment that was about what the site was worth. In the high season its nearly £70 for a weekend NIGHT. For that I would want more than a shower block converted from a mobile home.

We add our thanks to Ian and Sue who pulled off a great first time rally. For people with kids there is SO much to do and water fun a plenty.
With 4 Night breaks at only £49 and they do specials on that too its a great get away without spending heaps of money on the 'extras'.
The 'Added Value' is really what butlins has to offer and the kids enjoyed water fun, shows, competitions and fairground rides all #'nclusive' add a few little stints along the seafront on the cycles and an all round break was had.
We as a family enjoyed ourselves and met some great MHF folk as usual.
We would concur though at its top notch price of a single night in peak season it does stretch the purse, however with a family of 4 even basic C&C sites are expensive with their extras for this that and the other.
We did a quick calculation that in one day if we did all the things we did that day on an ad hoc basis at the seaside we would have spent well over £100.

Thanks to Sue and Ian for a good rally, they even managed to conjure up some super weather. The Butlins side of things was very informative. It informed me that as a sixty-something I'm past the Butlins thing! As Frank said above the show was good, I even had a shuffle on the dance floor, drinks were a bit on the hefty side pricewise.
Sue and Ian did a good job and we look forward to more of their rallies.

A BIG thank you to Sue and Ian,if this was their first time of organising a rally they will have a problem making a better job of the next one.We only went to one of the shows and really enjoyed it.
We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed the usual good company of MHF friends.
Well done Sue & Ian on a smashing rally, as Spacerunner says maybe not entirely for the older members of the group but certainly brilliant for the kids and me being a big kid enjoyed the pool area with the wave machine etc. The entertainment was good on the Wednesday night when we all or most of us ventured out, although I suffered the following day . The add hoc BBQ on Wednesday was as usual a mountain of food cooked by several very able chefs but nobody ended up with food poisoning even though Sallytraffric Frank kept throwing it on the ground
Hope you will do another rally Sue & Ian we need more folks like you
Hi all. Thanks for all your comments and thanks. We are so glad it went off ok, and fun was had by all.
We have just arrived home after a 9 hour journey home that usually takes 1 and a 1/2 hours!! We toured `the country` looking at motorhomes, but didnt find anything we wanted. Went to see a van we were interested in a couple of weeks back, but it was SOLD! (should have gone back earlier)!!
If I can come up with another rally, I will let you all know.
Sue.
Bear with me with the photos I'll keep adding them. I'm also sending them by email to individuals.
Also one in the photo competition.
Regards Frank
If Jubers would like to get in touch the hotmail address doesn't work perhaps I copied it down wrong

I couldnt make the rally but would be interested in bringing my grandchildren there as I'm sure they would love it. Do you have to be part of a rally to go or can you just book for the weekend. Didnt know Butlins had campsites attached.

Yes at minehead there is a touring field and you don't have to be on a rally. Three things to note it is a good ten - fifteen minutes walk from the pitches to the centre of Butlins where all the entertainment/shops are and probably another 15mins into the centre of Minehead.
The prices vary widely depending on the season and midweek/weekend.
Access to the site is by a long perimeter road and at one point you have to drive under some low trees. I don't think anyone was damaged but lots of scraping of vents etc. The way in is 300yds past the main entrance.
Regards Frank
PS 12 photos in the album now but still have more photos to upload, now we are getting to those that I have 'photoshopped'
