Does anyone know if sprinkle are still doing competitions? their last one was a while ago and every day I log in there haven't been any new competitions added, just wandering if they had decided to stop them again.
Capital Win
Anyone know how long they take to arrive? Also, I seen a thread on here saying you can't enter global radio comps for 6 months, is this with any win or over a certain amount? Thanks :) (I'm still not clear on the prize and can't find it in GO so can't find who posted it to thank them yet :o ).

Changing email- query re comps
I've been using my current comping email since I started this hobby, but since last year I've been intermittently getting those spam emails supposedly from myself.
