Ninth Anniversary 10 Posts Combo Breaker I won, I won, I won!
in Compers chat corner
Hi guys!

Just wondering if anybody still does these and has any success? I've jus been out and bought loads of stamps to give them a crack! (Desperate for a holiday for next year as I'm saving for my first house and worried I won't get one otherwise!)

Thanks!

    Stupid question, but do you actually use postcards or can you use an envelope? Been interested in entering them but no idea how to go about it!

    lots of great comps in the postals thread for use of a stamp,

    all the ops do a great job specially the ones who buy the mags & have to type out all the details, they take the extra mile doing for us :T:T:T

    Some competitions do stipulate postcard only, although there are a few where you can use a sealed envelope.I always use a postcard.

    i have had a lot of wins from postcard competitions.

    The last postals that I did was a freepost one about 15 years back & the local cinema used to give postcards out as promotional material.

    I sent hundreds on that comp but didn't win :-(
