Hi , Mate,

I work for thomas cook and we are booking big numbers for the 90's reloaded weekend in march..

The adult weekends are a good crack especially as you cant go other times of the year as a single sex party. They start at around £80quid for fri-mon if you can chuck 3 or 4 to a room..

we use the same website as you mate,

only difference is we can take lower deposits, dont need all the names at time of booking and sometimes we get exclusives with abit of extra discount on the website prices..

we did a booking for a stag do of 22 people for the march 90's reloaded weekend and it worked out at 79 per person with a 25 quid each deposit..

best thing, check the butlins website then phone your local thomas cook to see if they can get you some free places or a group discount.

also you are entitled to an extra 5% discount for being a cardiff city supporter through the holiday clubs.. cardiff city also get a % kick back on the booking off thomas cook so everyones a winner..
