I have just discovered on the Pontins website (and Okay you might have discussed this already on another thread and I've missed it, but I thought I'd better mention it anyway) some of the accomodation there requires that you bring your own bed linen, towels and pay for your own electricity(FUCKIN"HELL!!). I've no idea what sort of room I have and am chasing up on it, but please do check as it could be a damn cold weekend on a duvetless bed!

A freak accident with my linear accelerator has resulted in my possessing a picture of the SFX crowd enjoying Pontins' hospitality:

That's certainly the way I read it - No bedding, no towels and electrickery comes on a paid for card Sad

Shocking }:)

so basically they give you a roof and that's it? Or does that cost extra too?

Rang SFX and they tell that bed linen is provided but possibly not towels depending on the accommodation you have booked.

As i have no idea what iv booked ill take towels.

Re: SFX WEEKENDER. HAVE YOU CHECKED?

Hang on, I paid for two VIP tickets for this bash. I am gonna have to pay for my own electricty? Bring my own towels and bedding? Are they out of their friggin minds? I could stay in a 5 star hotel for the weekend for less than I paid for my wife and I to be there. This is not good enough. I think a message on the SFX forum is in order....
