trying

for prizes TO answer Mr Taylor's query about who wins your competitions - I would say "keep trying!"

I have had a wonderful summer graced by the BEN's generosity, and I like the idea of NOT knowing I have won a prize until the letter drops through my door - a great surprise!

At the end of last year, I won tickets to the opera in Manchester, and a bottle of wine, in April a Virgin Megapass for one month, then in July two tickets for the Southport Flower Show, and now a superb kettle barbecue - which has already been put to good use.

Thank you all at the BEN for your high standard of local news and features - and for all the wonderful prizes in competitions open to all.

Mrs Ann Amor,
