As you know I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Butlin's Ambassador last year, we had a lovely break at Skegness where my husband had holidayed with his family 20 years earlier, it brought back lots of happy memories for him and he loved watching our children enjoy exploring the same places he had many years ago....

  1. Hi there, great competition! Can you clarify, does that last line have to include a follow link to Butlins? (Not complaining if it does, just want to be clear!)

    1. Hi @liveotherwise I have asked the question of the promotor and this is their reply... 'We’d much appreciate if they are able to make the link a follow link, but we would not like to force them to do so if they do not usually do that, the decision is very much up to them though I would prefer if the link was a follow link. Their entry will still be considered if it is or isn’t a follow link.'

      Hope that helps?

      Thanks Jen x
