Caption Competition
We`re always interested to see pictures sent in by our readers, though we can`t publish many, I`ve already got a huge backlog of my own I`m working through ! Some, however, cry out for publicity, so in Summer 2011 we held a Caption Competition with one from Andy Sillence.
Initially only the winner was due a prize (£50 of aerial gear or £100 to one of our nominated charities) but I was so impressed with the standard of entries that we decided to award three runners up prizes as well. Each of the runners up had the choice of £20 worth of aerial stuff or £40 donated to one of our nominated charities :
Macmillan Cancer Support Oxfam Inland Waterways Association
Arthritis Research War Memorials Trust
Thanks to the generosity of our winners Macmillan Cancer Care,
Oxfam, and Arthritis Research received £40 each.
The winning entries (and commended runners up) are listed below.
We may well run another competition sometime, we`ll see if we get a picture worthy of it !
The Winner !
I`ll have an ITV2, a BBC3, and a couple of poppadoms please.

British Rail regret to announce cancellation of all TV services from this station.

TV aerial, currently attached to a sign, seeks a new direction in life. Would prefer a good reliable TV signal with no previous obstructions.

I said point it at the TV station, not the railway station !

Early results indicate that the radio controlled light bulb system is workable.

The aerial will cost 33% less if you let us know 7 days in advance that you`ll be collecting it during off peak hours.
