My son won this;
From here http://talesoftheroad.direct.gov.uk/competition.php - don't know if it was posted on here - I just found when browsing.
Anyway - I finally got a letter from Apollo cinemas confirming my prize of 12 visits to the cinema to be used within a year.
Am I being a bit quibbly because the prize on the website states
I'm happy for him but we were quite looking forward to going a couple of times a month, especially over Xmas and the summer break.
I've emailed them to clarify but should I just be happy he won and suck it up?

Not 12 visits???The winning poem will earn it's author an annual pass for 2 people to any Apollo Cinema – that means the winner (aged 6-11) and one other person of their choice can visit their chosen Apollo Cinema as many times as they like for 1 whole year from the date stated in their notification letter.

Quibble away. I would in your place. Although it's nice to win anything, if the terms and conditions say as many visits as they like without any caveats, then that's what I'd want.
It doesn't say anything further down in the small print anywhere does it, that mentions 12 visits?
Edit - congratulations on your win, regardless of the result.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Congrats on your win, hope you can sort it out, I would quibble too!0
