Win a Trip to the Official Launch

[Tonyblack]

Waterstones are running a competition to win a trip to the launch of Unseen Academicals in Wincanton and a football shirt signed by Terry.

Enter here.

Transport and accomodation are NOT included.

cheers for that tony

 

[Tonyblack]

I think, to be perfectly honest, that what they are offering is a shirt that's signed that you have to go all the way to Wincanton to pick up. As far as I know, there's no actual charge to watch the matches.

Thanks Tony, I'm going anyway but I have entered but not ordered the book as I will get a copy from the Stout ones shop and get it signed.

 

[Tonyblack]

Well anyone who is already going should certainly enter.

 

[Tonyblack]

I'm trying to find out more information about this as the Waterstones competition seems to suggest that you have to pay to watch the tournament - the prize is a signed shirt and two tickets to watch the tournament.

I'd assumed it was free to watch.

 

[Tonyblack]

Ok - I've found out that it's going to cost about £1 - £2 to watch the tournament.

You get 50% off though if your wear an eye patch.

It also seems to require you to be a Waterstones card holder.

I got all excited there for a minute. Ah well, back to DIY planning.

I thought the card was only if you were preordering the book. Have you tried entering without using a card number?

It costs you nothing to register for a membership card, and you get points for any book you buy and they can be redeemed against any book purchase for a price reduction.

anyone getting the slipcased edition?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Seriouly considering it.

 

[Bickaxe]

Did anyone win this?

I paid my hard-earned pound, played for UU so got a shirt anyway and asked Terry to sign it (which he did)...then the team and Terry raided the cheeseboard. (yes, we really had one...and wine, and pickles and crackers etc...)

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Not as far as I know and I was there regardless.

but I will make inquires at Hogwatch when I'm there.
