E: 27/02 (11:59) Win ~ A stay in the home of Abbot Ale

MARTINS_DOLL · 2 February 2009 at 5:29PM

The history of brewing in Bury St Edmunds can be traced as far back as 1086.

In that year the Cerevisiarii, or ale brewers, were chronicled in the Doomsday Book as servants of the Abbot of the Great Abbey of St Edmundsbury; Hence Abbot Ale, the name given to Greene King’s finest premium cask ale.

To celebrate this, Abbot Ale, in association with Classic FM, is giving listeners the chance to stay in the home of Abbot Ale, Bury St Edmunds, to see where it all began.
The prize includes a two night stay in Bury St Edmunds, where you can visit the remains of the original Great Abbey and includes dinner and breakfast. To enter this superb competition all you have to do is fill in your details below before 11.59PM on 27th February to go into our prize draw - Good luck!!

Global's standard competition terms and conditions
1. Introduction
1.1 These Competition terms and conditions shall be binding on you (“you”) when you enter any promotion, prize draw or competition (“Competition(s)”) operated by Global Radio UK Ltd (“Global ”) (including but not limited to those Competitions operated by Global on behalf of its sponsors) or any company, radio station or website owned or controlled (directly or indirectly) by Global from time to time. 1.2 Any specific rules, entry instructions and any other specific details relating to the particular Competition or the Competition prizes or gifts (“Prizes ”) published on this website or in any media which features the Competition (i.e. on-air messages) together with these Competition terms and conditions form the Competition terms (“Terms ”). Entry and participation in any Competition shall be deemed an unconditional acceptance by you of these Terms.

1.3 It is agreed and accepted by you (except in respect of death or personal injury directly attributable to Global’s negligence) that Global shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of Competitions operated by third parties and featured on air or on our Sites. The relevant third party will be responsible for the fulfilment of the Competition. Global accepts no responsibility for the acts or omissions of such third parties.

1.4 No purchase of any kind is required for free prize draws. Please follow the directions either on the Site for the particular Competition or as publicised in on-air messages.

Global has relied on the accuracy and truth of such representations and warranties in granting a place to you. Should Global or its agents become aware of any fraud, dishonesty, deceit or similar action undertaken in connection with the Competition or otherwise, or any act or omission which might (in Global’s opinion, which shall be final) have an adverse effect on the Competition, Global (or any of its radio stations), reserves the right in its absolute discretion (without notice to you and/or without giving reasons) to (i) forfeit your place on the Competition; or (ii) withdraw the Prize(s).

1.6 You agree to co-operate with and comply with all reasonable requests of Global and its agents and employees (and in particular the health and safety team) in connection with any Competition and its broadcast.

2. Eligibility to enter competitions

2.1 You must be a resident of the United Kingdom to enter a Competition. Employees of Global, their families, press, agencies or any persons directly or indirectly connected with a particular Competition are not eligible to enter such Competition. Global reserve the right to verify the eligibility of all entrants.

2.2 Unless otherwise stated, only one entry per person will be permitted and multiple entries will be void and the entrant(s) disqualified.

2.3 You may only enter a Competition as an individual, any entries that, in Global’s absolute discretion, have been made via participation in a syndicate will be disqualified.

2.4 Any entries made, in Global’s absolute discretion, via any form of machine assisted intervention enabling multiple entries will be disqualified.

2.5 Global reserves the right to discount multiple entries from the same IP address or telephone number, unless the specific terms and conditions for the Competition state that multiple entries are permitted.

2.6 A person may not win more than one prize valued at £500 or greater (subject to each individual station’s discretion) within a six month period following the first win, nor shall any member of such person’s family residing at the same address (including, but not limited to, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents etc.). Global reserves the right to withhold prizes from any such person, and to reclaim any such prize if a breach of this rule is subsequently discovered.

2.7 Where it is expressly stated that a Competition is open to over 18’s only, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age on the closing date for entries to a Competition and, if requested by Global, shall provide evidence of your age to Global’s reasonable satisfaction.

2.8 Proof of eligibility to enter a Competition must be provided to Global on request.

2.9 You must enter any Competition using your legal name. Global reserves the right to disqualify anyone entering a competition using a false name. By entering a Competition, you hereby warrant that all information submitted by you is true, current and complete.

3. Health and Safety

3.1 By entering a Competition, you confirm and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge and belief, your general state of health is good and you have no medical condition that could be adversely affected by strenuous exercise or any of the events or activities planned or reasonably expected to be involved in the Competition. You confirm that you are not taking any medication at present and will not take any medication during the Competition which may be affected by your participation in the Competition.

3.2 You must take all reasonable steps to ensure your own health and safety when taking part in any events or activities forming part of the Competition or the Prize. Any behaviour or act or conduct by you which Global considers to pose any medical, security or safety risk (including without limitation any abusive behaviour, physical or psychological) will lead to your immediate disqualification.

3.3 You are obliged to take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety standards and the general appropriateness of activities undertaken during the Competition and acknowledge that all activities are undertaken at your own risk.

3.4 You must notify Global of any medical or other condition which may mean that you are unfit for travel or participation in the Competition as soon as you become aware of such a condition. Global reserves the right to forfeit your place on the Competition or the Prize (without liability or compensation) if, in its opinion, you may expose yourself or others to risk of illness or injury or to the cancellation, disruption, or curtailment of the Competition.

3.5 You agree not to carry on your person (or in your possession or control) or to purchase or consume during the Competition any illegal substance. You acknowledge and agree that alcohol consumption will only be allowed with the express prior consent of Global and the health and safety team, who will have full authority to direct that you shall not consume any more alcohol.

3.6 You will comply with all directions of Global or Global’s representatives in respect of health and safety. Failure to do so may lead to immediate disqualification, or immediate withdrawing of the Prize at Global’s direction.

4. Competition entries via text message and telephone

4.1 Please note, only callers with mobile phones using certain networks will be able to participate in Competitions using a Short Message Service (“SMS”), known commonly as a text message. Users should check with their service provider for details of compatibility. Global will not be liable in the event of telephone or text message entries not received as a result of network incompatibility, technical faults, or otherwise.

4.2 Entries by text message must be sent to the applicable shortcode as advertised on-air. Please be aware that shortcodes may change from Competition to Competition. Entrants should only submit one text message entry for each competition (unless otherwise stated for the specific Competition) and Global reserves the right to discount multiple entries.

4.3 For the avoidance of doubt, you should follow the on-air instructions regarding the texting of Competition answers extremely carefully as Global cannot guarantee Competition entry for mis-spelt or incorrect text entries.

4.4 A text message to the Competition shortcode or a telephone call to the Competition line will normally cost the standard rate for your mobile or telephone provider unless expressly stated in the specific rules for the Competition. You should check with your network provider for more details. For the avoidance of doubt, the cost of text messages from different mobile phone service providers may vary. No purchase of any kind is necessary for free prize draws and in all Competitions which are free prize draws where an offer is made for participation involving a premium rate telephone call or reverse billed SMS message, alternative non-billed entry mechanisms will be made available. You should refer to this Site or on-air messages for the relevant Competition for details of the no purchase necessary route to entry.

4.5 Global reserves the right to disclose your personal data to PhonepayPlus at the reasonable request of PhonepayPlus.

4.6 Text messaging charges incurred as a result of entry to the Competition(s) will be paid via your mobile phone service provider and will be detailed, where possible, on your mobile phone bill.

4.7 Any person using a telephone which is not his or her own should ask for the permission of the person who pays the bill before sending a text message or telephoning the competition line.

4.8 In the event that a telephone call to a Competition entrant is disconnected for any reason before or during the competition, Global reserves the right to select another entrant to participate in the Competition. In the event that an entrant does not answer their telephone when contacted by a representative of Global in order to participate in a Competition, Global reserves the right to select another entrant to participate in the Competition.

5. Claims to prizes

5.1 In order to enable Global to correctly identify genuine claims and to eliminate non-genuine, deceitful or fraudulent claims, evidence of Competition entry must be made available if requested for the checking of such claim. In addition, Global reserves the right to request proof of identity, age and address in the form of your passport or driving licence, and proof of your address in the form of a utility bill. Global may also carry out an interview in order to validate such claims. Interviews may be by telephone or in person with you and may be recorded. Global may also ask you to provide an in-studio recording to compare to your on-air win to provide proof of vocal identity. If you refuse to provide any of these details or participate in or answer all questions raised in such an interview without good reason then your place in the Competition will be treated as invalidated and the Prize may be withdrawn.

5.2 If Global becomes aware of any fraud, deceit, misconduct or similar action during or in relation to a Competition which relates in any way to a claim, then that claim will not be met unless it is proven to the satisfaction of Global, that you had no actual or imputed knowledge of such fraud or deceit or similar action. For the avoidance of doubt (and without limitation), if you provide an incorrect name, age, address or other incorrect information in relation to the entry, then Global reserves the absolute right to treat that entry as invalid (whether or not such information comes to light before or after you have made the claim). If the fraud, deceit, misconduct or other action is only discovered after the Prize has been released, you undertake to return the same (or provide compensation) to Global forthwith upon notification by Global.

5.3 Failure to claim a Prize in the time or manner specified for the relevant Competition will make any claim invalid.

5.4 Winners of Prizes will be notified within 28 days of the relevant end date of the Competition. Prizes must be claimed within 28 days of notification.

6. Prizes

6.1 All Prizes are non-transferable and may not be given, assigned or sold to another person. Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash or other alternatives.

6.2 Global does not accept any liability for Prizes which are lost, delayed or damaged in the post or otherwise not validly received by you.

6.3 In the event of unforeseen circumstances or circumstances outside Global’s reasonable control, Global reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of equal value. No cash will be offered.

6.4 In the event of there being more claims than Prizes available, the name of the valid claimants will go into a draw for the Prizes.

6.5 A prize will not be awarded to a person who, for any reason, would not be allowed by law to purchase or use the prize or where the supply of the prize to that person would be unlawful.

:rotfl: My granddad drowned in a vat of ale; he got out three times to go the loo, but still managed to fight off the people who tried to save him!

Hope I don't get shot down in flames, but, T&Cs are only worth posting if they tell you what's included with the prize, which these clearly do not

All that information is contained within the first post

Thanks OP for this one, Bury St Edmunds is a lovely old town, fantastic old buildings. I'd love to win this so I can see inside the brewery and stay in hotel. I live not far away from there so easy travel :j
