Competition - April / May 2008

Our free COOKING, PAINTING or PHOTOGRAPHY course competition...

We are giving away a one day activity course gift voucher worth £145 (€195/$285) to the lucky winner in our DordogneBreaks free prize draw (see Terms and Conditions).

This entitles the winner - or whoever is the final recipient of the gift voucher - to a one day hands-on cooking, painting or photography course that includes breakfast, lunch and an evening meal (see what's included and what's not included).

What's more, prizes are redeemable within a year of winning, so, whenever you win, we'll find a course date that suits you.

Just answer three simple questions...

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this fantastic prize is correctly answer three simple questions (note: answers will be found somewhere within this website):

Question A:
Our semi-professional kitchen has some pretty cool equipment,
but what make are our ovens?

Question B:
Apart from painting, what domestic interest is our artist,
Lynn Ralph, passionate about?

Question C:
David Quinn, our digital photography tutor, is a full-time photographer,
but what industry was he in before he took up the lens?

It could be you...

If you think you're on the right track, use this link to email us (not forgetting to include your full name and the answers, of course!).

As soon as we receive your email, you'll immediately be entered into the free prize draw and the winner will be notified by email at the end of May 2008.

Will you be the lucky winner..?

The competition closes 31st May 2008 when the winning email will be drawn. So, get surfing and good luck!

Upgrade options...

On winning, you also have the option of extending and upgrading your free one day course to any one of our multi-day residential or non-residential courses and holidays (see the cost of an upgrade).
