In the unlikely event that a donor is drawn to win their own donation, It is intended that the next prize is allocated to them instead, 

As each prize is going to be sent directly from the donors, I will need winners to agree that their postal address are to be passed onto donors. By entering the Prize Draw, YOU signify agreement.

Our generous donors also have loads of other gubbins to be getting on with, so there may be a delay in posting prizes. It is intended that all prizes should be delivered within 28 days of the draw.

I will endeavour to keep all parties updated as much as possible and in the unlikely event of a prize becoming unavailable reserve the right to substitute an alternative prize of an equal or greater value
