Rambling Around Reading

This week's search for new competitions was based on Reading town centre where the Oracle and Broad Street Malls as well as the main shopping streets have a huge range of shops, and there are numerous out of town retail parks and supermarkets. I came home with no fewer than eighteen new competitions, most of which you will be able to read about in Grape Vine or the update. But a few of them close so soon that there is no time to waste, so here is a quick roundup of the "must hurry" ones.

Superdrug and Vaseline have a pair of tickets to the Glamour Woman of the Year Awards to be won at www.vaselinesheerinfusion.co.uk/glamourcomp closing 11 May.

Debenhams Beauty Magazine has a tear-out page inside the back cover, with three entry forms to complete and hand in. The prizes are a trip to Los Angeles, a year's supply of Benefit makeup and 3 x a pair of Grandstand tickets to Royal Ascot. All three close on 17 May and you need tobe a member of Debenhams Beauty Club (free to join) and give your card number on your entry.

French Connection stores have a small leaflet that directs you to www.frenchconnection.com/ironman2 for a chance to win a 3 day trip to Monte Carlo, flying in by helicopter and staying in a top hotel with a meal at one of the top restaurants. The winner will also get a goody bag full of Iron Man 2 memorabilia and goody bags also go to 5 runners up. But you'll need to hurry- the competition closes on 09 May.
