    What does does a round robin entry group do please?
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    where you get sent entry forms and you can put in entry forms as well, so a pack gets sent to you, then you send it to other person etc all you pay is the postage price, very handy if like me there arent that many places that do entry forms where you live:D i tend to put in postcards, mag entry coupons etc, hth

    Sorry for asking but is everyone who enters real people competitions by email getting a confirmation email. I've just entered the latest issue and haven't received a response and I didn't get any confirmation last week either. Should I be worried that my entries are not being accepted?

    Lessons in round robin-ing . Membership is free

    Its basically a pass the parcel. When the music stops, you unwrap it , take out any entry forms you want, add any spare you have, though that bit isnt essential or required. Then you wrap it up with fine paper and string and send it on its way.

    When you join the Round Robin , you will get a pack of entry forms , and a list of 6 names and adresses. I send the pack on to the first address , then in a day or 2 , you send it on to the next on the list. peope add and take away as it continues on its journey. Then last on the list , sends back to me. I then refill it and send it round the group again

    You need to tell me if you move house or go on holiday. You can put anything in the packs , thats useful to compers. . Pens , money-off coupons, postcards, envelopes. If there are lots of leaflets with just details of where to send texts or postcard entries, dont send them all in the pack, just send a couple for info for rest of group.

    All the packs are forwards packs , unless it has a great big black BACKWARDS on the bottom of the address list. If they are forwards packs , they go from me, to member number 2, to member number 3, to member number 4, to member number 5 , to member number 6 . Then number 6 sends the pack back to me. But by the time the packs have been round the group, they are usually fairly empty by the time number 6 gets them , so im trying to alternate the packs. If a group has had a couple of forwards packs, you will find the next one will be a BACKWARDS one . a backwards one is the same, but it goes , from number 6 , to number 5 , to number 4 , to number 3, to number 2 and then back to me

    If you want a regular supply of free postcards, I put those in the packs too

    If there are any entry forms that need posting in in-store boxes, just fill in your details and leave in the pack. When i get the pack back , i will post the forms in whichever box/ store it needs to go in.

    If you want to join , send me a PM. I will need your postal address and email address
