Instrument, uniform, music.... swimming trunks

If you are looking to relax at Butlins next weekend then make sure you pack your swimwear.

Waterworld
 

With the Butlins Mineworkers Championship just around the corner, the welcoming hosts have reminded players that not only do they have to remember to bring their instruments, uniforms and music, but they will be well advised to pack their swimwear too.

Relax

The multi-million pound Butlins Waterworld feature will be open this year — and will provide the ideal opportunity for players and their families to relax both before and after they take part in the various contests on the weekend of the 18th/19th January.

It’s a brilliant attraction — a perfect balance of fun and relaxation for everyone — even conductors!Steve Walker

Brilliant attraction

"It’s a brilliant attraction — a perfect balance of fun and relaxation for everyone — even conductors!" Steve Walker told 4BR.

"And don’t just take my word for it — we have had an amazing response from families.

It may be January but it’s like the height of Summer once you dip your toes in the water or relax by the side of the pool, so make sure you pack your costumes and give it a go — its’ the perfect way to relax on a contest weekend."
