The Footsteps of Anne Frank

June 19th, 2009 | Admin

Anne Frank was one of the millions of Jewish victims of the Nazis during World War II. Although she was only 13 years old when she died, Anne Frank’s story has been told many times thanks to the diary she kept whilst she was in hiding in Amsterdam. Anne was born in Germany and along with her father (Otto), mother (Edith Frank-Hollander) and sister (Margot), fled to Holland to escape persecution.

Otto had set up a successful food business and part of the company was located in a building on Prinsengracht. In May 1940, Germany invaded Holland and they brought with them, the repression of the Jewish people. Fearful about the fate of his family, in July 1942, Otto Frank moved his family to an annex at the back of the building at 263 Prinsengracht. Later, the Franks were joined in the Annex by Hermann and Auguste van Pels, their son Peter and Fritz Pfeffer.

Butlin’s Got Talent – Exciting Entertainment Coming This Summer

January 10th, 2009 | Admin

For decades families have been coming to Butlins holiday parks mostly because they offer so much more for value on family holidays than the expensive flights and accommodation of a trip abroad.

The reason these holidays are so good for value is the amount of included activities, sports and entertainment on offer.  As well as all the usual summer sports like Basketball, Football and Cricket there’s adventurous activities like trampolining, archery and at one resort: a high rope course.

The entertainment though is what really makes  Butlins Family Holidays special, and this year visitors are getting a phenomenal amount of entertainment from the biggest TV talent search this year: The stars of Britain’s Got Talent!

There are eight acts from the semi finals, finals and even this year’s winning dance act Diversity.  The winners who will be performing for Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Variety Show will be headlining a whole series of acts from all categories.

Father and Son Greek dancers with a twist, Stavros Flatley will be bringing a hint of the Mediterranean to the UK holiday resorts as well as child prodigies like Aiden Davies and Shaheen Jafargholi which promises for an amazing line-up of recognizable stars from Simon Cowell’s talent search show.

There is an act for everyone in the family whether you want to hear the amazing singing voice of Shaun Smith or laugh and dance along with The Faces of Disco, there’s even talented ventriloquist Gareth Oliver and the cringe-inducing DJ Talent bringing his unique talent to the family favourite holiday camps.

With all the various acts appearing this year as well as many other residential and touring acts at the three resorts at Minehead, Skegness and Bognor Regis which ever resort you choose for your next family holiday will be jam packed with plenty of entertainment for all the family.

Also this year the Bognor Regis resort is opening it’s second luxury hotel, the Ocean hotel.  Designed to be ultra modern and stylish but also comfortable and practical the Ocean hotel has been purpose built for family groups; children have their own bunk beds plus flat screen TV and DVD players and there are plenty of dining options both at the hotel and at the resort in general.

This year with all the value for money it is no surprise that Butlins Family Holiday parks are becoming firm favourites yet again for family holidays without all the added hassle of passports and flight times that you’d get with other holidays.
