in Freebies (no spend required)
Hi Guys


I'm sorry I haven't been online much (real life getting in the way) so couldn't answer people's queries re posting of comps on the freebie board.

We allow comps that have 1000 or more to giveaway be posted on the freebies board as there is a good chance that we will receive them. Otherwise please post comps on the competition board. I'm sorry for any confusion.


Thanks to all posters

Lorraine :)

    What about the MSE giveaways where there is only 20 to give away?

    I think it's because those giveaways are exclusive to Mse members :)

    That would really confuse things, where would you post all the comps? On the comps board or on the compin freebie board?

    I think as Lorweld says if its 1000 or more available then its classed as a freebie and if there are less than 1000 its a comp so goes on the comp board.

    The MSE 20 books etc goes on most boards as it gives everyone who is a member a fair chance as not everyone goes on every board. (well thats how I think it works :o)

    But surely (just to complicate things, lol!) all competition prizes are freebies so there is no need for a compin free board as suggested, just the existing competition board?

    Hi, I am just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction of the competition board? I am having trouble trying to find it.

    Thanks:beer:
