MAKING A SPLASH: Butlin’s officially opened the £40 million Splash swimming pool at its Bognor Regis resort with a light and projection show last week. The light show, which was attended by founder Billy Butlin’s daughter, Jacquie Butlin, was projected on to the front of the art deco-style building. The pool, which took two years to build, features the world’s first helter-skelter water ride, as well as ‘stick of rock slides’, ‘seaside garden rapids’ and a dedicated area for babies to five-year-olds.
