    I got one of these too. Couldn't use it even if I wanted to because the voucher can't be used in the 1 centre that they have in N Ireland. If anyone wants mine just PM me.
  • I didn't enter any comps for paintballing for the simple reason it doesn't appeal to me. I am guessing its come from one of the advent comps. Well there seems to be a few of us who have won this today.

    I had one too. It said 'Thank you for entering the Christmas Radio competition' :confused: . Think you could end up out of pocket if you book for a crowd and a few drop out. (non-attendance deposit £10)

    best wishes

    I had one too from Choice Fm
  • So does that count as a win then?

    I don't regard it as a win, but others may disagree

    I've changed my facebook username to NOBODY so when I enter FB comps I press the "Like" button it will say NOBODY likes this

    I think it is a form of a scam as it isn't really a win when you have to pay to actually do the thing in the first place. I don't suppose they'd wear it if you said you didn't want to pay deposit as you didn't intent to play, just claim the 'free' lunch lol
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

  • It's not a win, it's a promotion. I've had loads of these :rolleyes:

    If you are planning to go paintballing anyway then it'll save you a bit of money but otherwise it's an expensive day out even with the voucher.
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

    I class it as a win because it would save you alot of money if you would go anyway

    so does that mean if you win a wii/xbox/ps3 dvd player and you have to buy lots of games etc to use it -it's not a win????????
