"The Sun" newspaper Holidays - first timer question

[MaryBS]

I've just started collecting tokens for the sun newspaper short breaks abroad.

We can only really go at half-term. I see you have to specify several dates. Do I stand much chance of getting a half-term break? Should I only put down the half-term dates, or will it get chucked out for not putting other dates?

Any other tips? We don't mind which country we go to, just don't want to travel too far, so France/Belgium/Holland, that sort of thing.

TIA

I've managed to put down 5 dates in half terms with mid-week and week ends. I have done the same, put down the ones nearest to Calais, I am pretty sure most people will do that because of the driving involved for mid-week/weekend breaks (unless you can extend your dates????).

Btw, I am not 10% sure but I think they are Eurocamp resorts as I happened to be flicking through my friends brochure and they have the same names

Who knows, might see you over there!

Some are definitely Eurocamp sites, I googled the names of the ones we were interested in.

We're aiming for 26-30 May.

I've also picked sites without tents, because camping does NOT appeal if its cold!

Am hoping we get a holiday because one of DHs customers has said we can camp on his land in the Vendee so want to do it as a trial run on ferry/driving/camping holiday with the 3 without spending too much money!

I wasn't that clever about which sites, I jsut went with the 5 nearest to Calais

Is it too late to start collecting these?

They're printing them till 29th, so you'd need to find another 3 from somewhere (plus the 4 starting today), as you need 7 differently numbered ones:

Ours came through today. They were fine with just the one date. This is where we got:

Got the confirmation through. We've extended the holiday, AND they've given us a 3 bed midrange caravan, instead of 2 bed budget we were expecting!

This is us:

We are going on 23rd May and we chose the nearest parks to the ferry port. Quite excited as might be able to visit Lille on the way back which is where I lived for a year.

We're going 26th, for 1 week...
