Hi David

16 tickets issued so far. Very dissapointing.

Yes, my itinerary is arranged, almost to the minute. As I just said in reply to your question in another thread, I'll be in Castara for 2 weeks from the 2nd February.

Have a brilliant trip.

Hi Steve,
Seasonal greetings to all viewers.

Just back from a break and see tickets not going as quick as they should. Will try and give them a boost this afternoon.

Call me a traitor, but just been up to visit friends on USV Islands of St John and St Croix, then back via Anguilla. Very happy to provide some forum notes for potential Caribbean visitors wishing to compare, if it were to help.
For now though I would say I am thoroughly looking forward to getting back to Tobago in April and to a direct flight!
Happy Christmas to all and I urge everyone to spend £5 less on the relative that never reciprocates and buy a ticket instead!
Regards
James

Hi Everyone

Just a quick reminder - there's only three days to go until the end of the 2005 myTobago Competition. There are still 26 very worthwhile prizes to choose from and only 35 tickets have been issued for December, so there's a very high chance of winning.

COME ON FOLKS!

Today is the last day. After midnight tonight (GMT) the competition closes. We've issued 47 tickets for the month. Remember my promise of an extra prize for every 10 tickets issued after the first 50. So, we only a whisker away from having 4 prize winners for December rather than the normal 3.

So, with BEST WISHES to everyone for 2006, why not start the year by supporting your favourite travel site and having a great treat to look forward to on your 2006 trip to Tobago.

Well, The competition is over now and what a success it's been!

The list of winnner is available at http://www.mytobago.info/competition07.php and just look at all those prizes. I bet James is glad he entered.

Just a few words of thanks to those who supported the competition -

To all the businesses and individuals who very generously donated the prizes - it couldn't have happened without you - many thanks.

To those who entered - winners and those who came close

To Steve for such a lavish array of prizes and for the excellent presentation and smooth running of the competition

and not forgetting Rachel for making the draw each month.

There is a rumour that this may turn out to be an annual event, so watch this space and good luck next time around.

ENJOY YOUR PRIZES WINNERS !!!

Cheers

Well done guys for all your efforts.

Although I didn't win a prize, :cry: it was a great way to raise some well deserved funds. :)

Sorry to have missed the last draw, we were already on the island...... but looking forward to a possible re-run next year.

Bob.

Thanks

Thank you Steve you talk right out of my heart. I won a price but even if I wouldn't have its a great idea to support this side and worth every pence, cent or whatever ...

Maybe there should be more advertisement if there will be a new competition... I'm sure I will go on supporting. Not only to win a price but if, its another reason to go back to the island (not that this is necessary).

Happy new year and maybe a new competition in 2006 ???

Cheers

Hi David

It most certainly is - readers simply need to choose the "Please Support US" menu (shortly to be renamed 'Donation') under the Welcome menu above.

Hi Steve

Sorry if i've missed it elsewhere, but do you have any plans to run a new competition yet?

A donation will be winding its way to you shortly anyway, but would be great to win a prize this time - gives that extra impetus to book a flight!

Hi Andrew

Notification of your post came in while I was writing reminder emails to prize donors who I haven't heard back from yet. I hope to launch a new competition within the next two weeks.

Excellent news. I'll be sure to look out for it!

Incidentally, would winners be able to use prizes this year - October to be more precise?

Hi Andrew

In general, the answer is YES. One or two prizes have time constraints or can only be redeemed during certain times of the year, but over 90% have no constraints and so can be redeemed any time between the winner choosing the prize and the end of December 2007. So, you're in with a good chance.

p.s. As you posted your message, I was adding the 51st prize to this year's prize pool. There's only two I haven't heard from, so we're nearly there. Looking GOOD!!!

Hi Steve and all the others,

I'm glad to hear that the competition is on now, will make my donation as soon as I'm home ( I have a little stopp-over in London) .

Tobago was amazing like always and I'm almost sure I will go back this year.

Cheers
