Won tickets to Southport Flower Show

Hiya,

Today postman brought 2 tickets for Southport Flower Show next week.

Think they came from local paper comp. (Entered a few comps for the tickets)

I love flower shows and wouldn't be able to afford to go unless I won tickets, so I'm made up. :j

    Not too sure where I won them 'cos the compliment slip that came with tickets was from PR company.
    Also entered in gardening press/web sites.
    If others want to win tickets for Southport, and you live in the Merseyside area, listen to
    BBC Radio Merseyside for phone in comps from Sat onwards.

    Hi,

    I live in Southport, and the flowershow is a great attraction.

    If you need any tips on how to get to Southport the "back way" and avoid all the traffic let me know.

    Hope the weather is good for you. Can see all the stands/tents going up this week and the gardeners are there making some wonderful arrangements.

    Won two more tickets!!!

    A friend said she'd like them and said she'd pay for my train fare and the price of lunch for the tickets. I'm well chuffed - a free day out.
