CEO would pay over £1m. Over 300 years
When Paula Rice says there were sensors in the rooms that 'beeped' whenever you entered them, Err total B.S. no there wasn't!

Only for Butlins to Be Sold now! Since it changed from a 'Family friendly Budget Holiday resort To an App'! Scrap the Apo' Cancel the sale! I day anyway?
This is 1997 Elise Left in early 1998
Aww I've got the single "I Stand On Guard"
Butlins is being sold
All very sad but what has this got to do with 'Stars of Tomorrow'.
In 1997, the rate had reached £66 p/w live in. The rate was £2 per hour, but deducted accommodation rate was around £50 p/w from pay. This covered Heating and lighting/appliances. We had no cooking appliances but did have access to free meals. Laundry was at a low charge excluding uniform which was cleaned for free. Couples accommodation was of one room with shared baths/showers (annex) but single accommodation was with shared living room with cooking appliances. Ironing equipment and fridges were introduced by 1998. These were located on staff lines. We also got paid seasonal bonus of around £1000. By 1998 we all received min wage rate. With overtime rate of time and half. Further charge of optional wage was added of £12 p/w. Accomodation was greatly improved. By the time of the skyline, pay remained within the min wage rate. Seasonal Bonus therefore was increased. Albeit the working atmosphere had greatly changed. 97/98 had us feeling like a family. United. Apart from that of a on going problem of drugs which grew alarmingly worse. The policy of termination leading to 20mins of eviction from accommodation and site of work, had been changed by 98. That females were not allowed to be evicted if after local transport was closed. Therfore females would be escorted of site the following morning, but banned from using the sites amenities. (Stores/restaurants/bars) This remained the policy in 99. The drug culture that had grew on the site, had been promoted by local suppliers from the Minehead residences. Sourcing staff to deal within the grounds. A death of an overdose had been evident (but not publicly announced) in the year 99. Heroine had reached the park. Alcohol was even greater a problem on the site. 24hr licensed shops, bars and local stores were readily available. Like I said, we worked hard, long hours... but boy did we party. The staff lines would exceed the nightlife for long after customers were in bed majority of the time. Albeit, by the final 2 years, I was happy to save money and entertain myself on my gaming console. I left with nearly £5000 banked each year. When seasons stopped (around autumn) I would travel to other well known campsites and work throughout xmas and new-year. I loved those years, would return tomorrow if I wasn't a family man. Butlins work was a culture I will never forget. The good times and the bad. 💯
Butlins holiday world era last years before the family entertainment resort era
It shows that butlins still had hope to reopen the monorail after the crash
Interesting that originally on the 3D model the monorail would have gone straight through the Skyline, not sure how that actually would have worked, especially since the crossover point for the figure 8 track would have ended up right in the middle of it on which they built the cafe, and logistically they'd have to engineer in 4 places into the Skyline for the monorail to enter/exit. Skegness did keep it's monorail for a few years into the post-1999 era so I'm sure they were open to the idea, but I imagine even without the crash they would still have pulled it from Minehead on the grounds of being a logistical/engineering nightmare to retain an attraction which wouldn't make much money anyway.
@@chriswathen9612 yeah that means most of the original track would have been removed
so minehand /bognor regis / skegness butlins
Used to be pwllheli and ayr in the 90s before the transformation from holiday worlds to family entertainment resorts and they now havens butlins sister company
Worked 97-99 at Minehead. I received £66 p/w 5 days-6days in 1997. Free meals, both at staff Diner and work place (if in foods). Earned a couple of weeks off in holiday pay. Worked hard. Played hard. By 1998 nat min wage was well received. Plus tips as waiters boosted pay. Only, free meals were stopped. But small fee of £12 p/w covered breakfast and evening meal. I enjoyed working at Minehead, felt no pressure or duress. Great start to my working youth. Great memories.
sound like how rip off work at hoilday camp for a zero
I loved working there 95-97 and wasn't bothered about the wage

Hi Mark. Thanks for uploading all of these fantastic videos of the good old days of butlins. I was a kid in the 90s and enjoyed many family holidays to minehead so this brought back many happy memories. Much appreciated!
