We need a few more here don't we Jenny!  I've been entering comps for over 30 years and won some great prizes in the distant past....a car, kitchen, trip to India, £7,000 worth of gold ingots.....and more.  I'm afraid that I've not been so lucky recently, although I do keep trying - if you're not in it you can't win it!  We did enjoy a very nice hotel stay at Hatherley Manor a while ago!

Hello Nanpam

It sounds as if you've had lots of fun entering competitions over the years. Did you win the Hatherley Manor competition from Sixtyplusurfers?

The Chat page here is still very new, but I'm sure we'll have some more competitions here over the next few months.

To launch the page, every new visitor will be entered into a free prize draw to win a clock, mug and jug from Dotcomgiftshop and we'll choose the winner at the end of January 2013.

But for the moment, don't forget to enter the competitions on our main website.

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

I meant we need more competition fans in this group - not more competitions!  I think the Sixtyplusurfers site offers lots of great comps already.  Yes, I did win the Hatherley Manor stay from here so I'm probably biased anyway!  Keep up the good work.

I'm a competition fan though rather lazy these days as I mainly enter them online.  Have been entering a lot of advent ones this month but without any luck so far.  Have never had very big wins but am still using a food processor I won about 30 years ago.

I just like crosswords I am an addict to them, have a pile of them in case I ever get bored and they help to pass the time aswell.

 I enjoy entering competiitions though there are not that many around these days. I used to like the write a slogan ones and way back in the Fifties remember the Bullets in the now-defunct magazine, John Bull. Still recall the one that won a Sammy award!

Nowadays it seems to be draws. Having said that I did win a bottle of vodka in the Christmas draw.

I used to enter a lot of competitions especially the slogan type ones.  Don't enter as many now as so many are online and it means giving your details to a company that then bombard you with spam.

You can always unsubscribe once you know you haven't won though it's true I do get a lot of e-mails from companies.  Every now and then I have a blitz and unsubscribe from the ones that are really of no interst.

I really should set up an e-mail address only for competitions but I forget to do so and end up with lots of spam. Nuisance!
