Some lovely wins for Grape Vine readers!

Readers of Grape Vine love to be winners! And each month,  they can notify me of any wins worth £500 or more that they have had, so they can appear on the Winners List on the front cover. At the end  of each year, every entry on the list goes into a draw to win a 6 month extension to their subscription and 100 second class stamps.

I love to hear of the wins that readers have had, and other readers  say that hearing about big wins and hoping that they, too, can be a "Cover star" spurs them on to try harder with their own comping. Yes, reading about other compers' success really CAN make you a winner.

So here, to inspire you all, is a list of the big wins sent in by Grape Vine readers in just one month, October 2011.
