Blackpool Bash 2019Dates: April 26th - 28th 2019
Location: Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, UK Everybody say.... Blackpooooooooool! It’s time for our annual pilgrimage to Blackpool. And our first ever ERS on their fanastic ICON! So come along to our biggest, most famous, action packed, super fun, Coaster Crazy weekend of them all: The Blackpool Bash! This is by far the best way to meet members, enjoy some fantastic coasters and see some quality live entertainment. This is one trip that you’ll be talking about for weeks, so come along and join in the fun. The weekend of non-stop action starts with ‘Friday Fun’ at 19:45 on Friday April 26th in the Paradise Room (BPB). Here you can enjoy a drink before sharing a great evening of top quality professional entertainment. I have lined up three fabulous acts for you. Following ‘Friday Fun’ you can have another drink or two before the 23:00 close. Saturday events start at 09:00 in the Paradise Room (tea/coffee, wristband issue). At around 10:00, we will head onto the Park for a one-hour Exclusive Ride Session (ERS) on ICON and as a bonus for the younger ones - The Blue Flyer (Zipper Dipper). Following this you have free time to enjoy the Park. At 11:30 those who want to can meet at the Derby Racer for a ‘ride takeover’, and then everyone will re-group at 12:30 for a hot lunch in the Paradise Room. The latest Club merchandise will also be on display and available for purchase. The whole afternoon is then free for you to enjoy the Park at your leisure before you return to the Paradise Room at 19:30 for the “Cartoons/Kids TV” themed ‘Coaster Crazy Show!’ You are invited to dress up (optional) in anything that is connected to cartoons or kids TV. Just have fun interpreting it and think outside the box! As usual you will enjoy an evening of lively entertainment featuring new acts, games, the ever-popular Gong Show and some great prizes. And by popular demand we end the day with a special Club party. It will be a non-stop mix of great dance and party tunes from over the years to keep you on your feet! You’ll also be able to enjoy a final drink before the 11.00pm close (approx.). Sunday starts at 09:00 in the Concourse Room (below the Paradise Room) and at 09:45 we have a special start to the day with no less than THREE ERS’s. Over an hour on the classic Big Dipper, plus the World’s #1 racing woodie, The Grand National and to celebrate its 25th anniversary, The Big One. This will allow for more rides during the ERS, as the group will split over the three rides. And if you then want to stay in the Pleasure Beach for the whole day on Sunday too, you can purchase an unlimited ride wristband at the special discounted price of just £22.00 (normally £39). If not, you can of course enjoy the rest of Blackpool, visiting the piers, The Tower, etc. The price for this absolutely action packed, coaster crazy weekend is an amazing £60.00! (non-members same price and no limit, but must attend with a member). That is actually £2.00 cheaper than last year (assuming you had a wristband). If you have a Season Pass or will be using Tesco Vouchers for your Saturday wristband you can deduct £20.00 per pass/voucher. The price includes Friday Fun, all events on Saturday (two ERS’s, hot lunch, show & party), unlimited ride wristband for Saturday and the three Sunday ERS’s! The only extra is the optional unlimited ride wristband for Sunday (after the ERS’s) and that is just £22.00 (normal price £39.00). Great value for three days of coaster crazy fun. If you can only make one RCCGB trip this year, make it this one. Booking can be done ONline, or by the old fashioned legacy method of downloading, printing the form and sending off a cheque (no staples, and ensure membership number on back of cheque). Please select the booking option button below.... See you in Blackpoooooooooool! |
