I run 40+ round robin entry form groups. I have members all over
the country. The groups are a sort of pass the parcel of the comping world. I send out packs of entry forms every few weeks.
I send an address list with the packs. I send on the pack, to next on list, then they take out what they want, add any entry forms if they have any spare, then they send it to next on list. And so on and so on , till the pack is sent back to me. I refill it and send it back out
Its free to join. If you want more details, contact me

im amazed that no one on here, except me i mean, runs an entry form service/swap group. It seems a very logical service that lots would join.I mean it would save you hunting round the shops to find them
i went to the good food show at the NEC today, and theres loads of entry form comps to be found at the food shows, so unless you travel to where ever the food show goes, london,glasgow, birmingham, you wont find them.I have loads of members in my groups, who live all over the country, so it saves on traveling all over the country to find the comps0 -

Keep your grubby benefit grasping hands off the prizes which are meant for true competitors.
Those who have jumped on the comping bandwagon have spoilt it for all genuine compers out their.
You may be happy with a few mugs and crusty old packets of chips but leave the real competitions to the true experts.

yes i was bit confused too. i mean isnt entering comps, a part mystery, as you dont kow what is going to turn up next. you enter comos for things you either need, or want , or just want the thrill of getting something for almost nothing apart from a bit of time and effort. i mean i didnt have a car for about 18 months when i scrapped my last car. so i concentrated on entering comps for cars. After a few months of entering comps for cars, i got a letter fom autoexpress magazine saying i had a kia picanto on the way
entering comps is the thrill of the unknown, you like winning things, you dont win cars everyday, but sometimes you do get nice surprise in the post some days.some times its a pack of free cat food or a freebie t shirt,sometimes its cars0 -
Can I just say anyone wanting to get involved with garynumanfan's RR/EF swap should do so, I have only been a part of it a short while but have had lots of entry forms from it that I wouldn't/couldn't get elsewhere. Not won anything from it yet but hope to soon. Other MSE'rs are part of it too, don't want to name names here unless they want to themselves, the owner is lovely, very friendly & was always willing to answer any questions.2023 wins - Rice Krispies, Avene Micellar Gel, Barbie Toy, £20 Apple Gift Card, KFC 6 piece bargain bucket, Chloe Nomade perfume, Barbie Toy (second one), Sanctuary Spa Sleep Balm, E45 Moisturising Lotion, Trolls Hamper, 12 Tonie Characters, Sure deodorant, Good Home Utensil holder, £5 Costa Gift Card, Neutrogena Micellar Jelly, Soap & Glory Mascara, Persil capsules,0

This is from the home page of my competition entry form siteThis is the home of the Round Robins, anything else is just a pale spanish imitation. Its basically a pass the parcel. When the music stops, you unwrap it , take out any entry forms you want, add any spare you have, though that bit isnt essential or required. Then you wrap it up with fine paper and string and send it on its way.
When you join the Round Robin , you will get a pack of entry forms , and a list of 6 names and adresses. I send the pack on to the first address , then in a day or 2 , you send it on to the next on the list. peope add and take away as it continues on its journey. Then last on the list , sends back to me. I then refill it and send it round the group again You need to tell me if you move house or go on holiday. Apart from that there are no rules.
You can put anything in the packs , thats useful to compers. . Pens , money-off coupons, postcards, envelopes. If there are lots of leaflets with just details of where to send texts or postcard entries, dont send them all in the pack, just snd a couple for info for rest of group.All the packs are forwards packs , unless it has a great big black.BACKWARDS on the bottom of the address list. If they are forwards packs , they go from me, to member number 2, to member number 3, to member number 4, to member number 5 , to member number 6 . Then number 6 sends the pack back to me. But by the time the packs have been round the group, they are usually fairly empty by the time number 6 gets them , so im trying to alternate the packs. If a group has had a couple of forwards packs, you will find the next one will be a BACKWARDS one . a backwards one is the same, but it goes , from number 6 , to number 5 , to number 4 , to number 3, to number 2 and then back to me
If there are any entry forms that need posting in in-store boxes, just fill in your details and leave in the pack. When i get the pack back , i will post the forms in whichever box/ store it needs to go in. .
If you havent had a pack for a while, contact me and i will see if i can find where the pack has got stuck .

I would certainly agree with this:)"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "
