GBs Time: 22 November 2008, at 4.47 am

 

Entertainment

There is an awful lot of entertainment available to you at the Butlins Resort, including music, dancing, nightclubs, cinema, etc. But, not content with that, we are also planning other events exclusively for those attending the Great Britain Championships.

And it's all INCLUDED in the room rate!



Teachers' Reception

There will be a Teachers' Reception on Friday night in Jak's Nightclub at 7.30pm. Teachers will be able to collect their free GBs programme and, most importantly, their VIP wristband. There will be refreshments and food provided. The Teachers' reception will finish at 9.30pm, with the party moving onto Reds for a night of entertainment with Barry Owen.

[Jak's nightclub.]

Irish Dance Welcome Party

Also on Friday night, there will be an Irish Dance Welcome Party -- open to all -- to be held in Reds Nightclub. More information to follow.

[Reds Nightclub.]

Saturday & Sunday

There will be specific entertainments arranged for Saturday and Sunday nights too, again exclusively for the Irish dancing folk. Watch this space!
