    I did indeed build it (with the help of a very wiry uncle (bloody hard work digging ponds, and you need a skip for the amazing amount of mud that comes out). Mum filled it in last year while I was out of the country!

    Proud winner of the ‘Bath Fireworks Poster Competition 1995’ – My Mum and Dad drove me back from a holiday in Dorset especially to go to the prize ceremony. I got a box of posh crayons (which i never used) and a trophy with my name engraved on it (which they spelled wrong). 😐

    How long ago was this scout raffle? 🙂

    I once won a weekend in a ‘holiday chalet’ (static caravan) in mid wales in a raffle at a church bazaar. It rained all weekend.

    As a kid I won 500 cigarettes in a scout raffle. Those were different times. I’ve never smoked and nor did anyone in the family at the time. I think my parents traded the cigarettes for something else.

    Did you build it? My daughter is always asking me to dig one… it’s on the list of things I’ve got to do.

    Speaking from experience I would say magazine competitions are well worth entering, unless it’s a bike mag giving away a bike – they get loads, anything else though and you’re in with a chance

    I won the Cervelo rider cards in one of the Friday schwag grabs – very pleased with that, and wondering how to frame/display them currently.

    I’ve also won a signed Manchester City shirt (gave that to my father in law, as he’s a much bigger fan than me), and a Foska “Lion of Flanders” jersey.
