Guess what - I received a call yesterday too ! Wish we knew who the winner of the holiday to centre parcs was !!!!!!!
Were booked in at Keswick on 1st Sunday in November , the nice lady said she would send details out so i will have a good look at them before we go ahead with it.
Also i have pmd a fellow mse member who took up this experience and she kindly gave me advice how good and professional they were etc ,

lol... makes you wonder how many people get one of the THREE runners up prizes, i won mine at the end of august, we were going to go but my little one had a cold and the fact that we would have had to travel there, then go back a week later to pick the picture we wanted and then go back to collect at a later date just made it seem a little to much hastle, enjoy it though if you do take up the offer,just feels like they are just going through a mailing list of everyone who entered.

Three visits = three opportunities to pitch you and apply pressure, I know nothing of this particular company so cannot say that this will be the case with them, but I would urge anyone taking advantage of this offer do so with extreme caution in mind you could end up with an awful lot of photographs that you could have produced of similar quality with a little practice and pc knowledge yourself at home.

Typically a set of six proofs can cost as much as £80 (based on a similar now defunct company) a single canvas print can be in excess of £1000, it can be hard for some to walk away from pictures of their loved one knowing they will be "trashed if you don't buy them".

Above all THINK before you agree to any purchase!

Think about the inconvenience of three trips not to mention the expense, think about whether or not you can handle a hard sell situation, think about whether or not in the current economic climate you can afford to expend the amounts of money required, think about how many runners up there were! So far between just these two mse threads it would appear that there have already been four winners of the three runner up prizes, nice going mse eh! Us mser's must be real lucky to scoop all plus an extra one.

Anyone here remember Olan Mills?
