Gingster win

I managed to win a runner up prize in the Lads night in comp at the gingster site.

I was informed on the 2nd of June of my win (a load of ginster food and some beer) but have yet to recieve it :(...... It's cost me more in phone calls to their promoters (chilli) than the prize is worth.

    Oh how pants is that! I'm sorry to hear that, bigglesinc. Have they done anything about it?
  • I've been trying to sort it since I got the first e-mail from Chilli but I got fed up this morning and contacted Ginsters direct. I haven't had a reply from them but Chilli have sent me an e-mail saying they are sending me something out Monday 04/09. I'm not holding my breathe at the moment but we will see what happens :)

    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.
  • Just to let everyone know Chilli, the PR company sorting out my Ginster win, finally came through with some money and a few Ginster promo bits ("T" shirts and bits).

    Would have been nice to get the original prize but it wasn't possible to sort it.

    Thanks to Chilli for sorting it all out in the end..........

    Shame you didn't get your original prize, but at least they haven't let you down completely:)
  • To be honest I'm happy for anything. I've just got to workout what to do with two stress pasties.
