In a last minute twist, it seems that the Oldborough Retreat prize draw, scheduled for today, has been postponed. In a blow to Brian and Wendy Wilshaw's plan to give away the property in their own draw to avoid the fall in the housing market, the Gambling Commission has started a late investigation into how they organised their competition.

As it's the 24th of December, just a short note to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and happy comping over the coming weeks! The team at Prize Competitions will be taking a break over the next week or so but we'll keep scouring the net for fresh comps for the New Year! We'd like to thank all of you that have supported Prize Competitions over the last few months and we know many of you have won great prizes as a result of finding out about comps and improving your skills when entering and playing comps!

We hope that 2008 brings loads of new exciting competitions and prizes and that our community continues growing so you can tell us all about what you've won. January is usually a great month to find out about new competitions and promotions, we'll make sure to let you know what the best ones are as usual. In the meantime, have a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008! Good luck with comping over the next week and make sure to come back to Prize Competitions to find out about a whole new lot of fresh competitions and prizes!

Merry Christmas and best wishes to everyone!
