    Did you actually give comperking a pm - try and he should set you up with a group. I don't know of any other forum groups par Loquax - anyone else?

    3 nights at the Hilton in Amsterdam for 2 with flights (this comp was worth about £1,700),
    3 nights in a Cardiff hotel for 2 with coach tickets,
    Nintendo DS,
    £400 gift vouchers,
    Judas Priest Merchandise,
    Front row tickets to see The Cure :j
    Signed book by Martin Peters (from the 1966 England team),
    Tanning system,
    Charles Worthington Hair Care Kit,
    National Geographic Calendar,
    Miller's Collectables book,
    DVD of The Patriot,
    DVD of CSI Miami,
    £10 Gift Voucher for WHSmiths,
    Ticket to see Circe De Soleil,

    Thats all I can think of at the moment but I know theres more. I'm going to start keeping a notebook of comp wins and their value so I know just how much I get from this and how much I spend on the stamps.

    Have entered many competitions in the last year, many of which were fictional. I have, however, won a Smirnoff fridge!

    Hi all,

    I've won a few bits & bobs, DVDs, CDs & the like from UK competitions, I don't enter that many to be honest, about 10 ish a week, & I haven't been doing it that long.

    I hope to have more luck in the future, I might check out some more sites.

    It's a good little hobby! :)

    PS... Looks like some of you have had some fantastic luck! Well done all of you. :D
    :):D Tightwad. And proud of it! :D:)
