WIN! - A Garden Swing

A garden swing provides the perfect place from which to admire your garden (or to just have a bit of fun).

Martin Young, of Sitting Spiritually – www.sittingspiritually.co.uk – is a Lyme Regis master craftsman specialising in bespoke garden-swing seats, which are carved with inscriptions, and made from sustainable sources of pine, cedar and English oak.

Working with wood and creating something beautiful and unique is Martin’s first love. Martin, in conjunction with Dorset magazine, is offering readers the chance to win an oak rope-swing seat, worth £299. But what is most exciting is that he will be customising the winner’s swing with an inscription, of up to 20 letters, of their choice. For a chance to win, simply answer the following question, and give a tie-breaker:

From which wood is the seat made?

Tie-breaker: What carved inscription would you like on your swing? (Answer in no more than 20 letters.)

Send your answer and tie-breaker on a postcard, together with your name, address, phone number or email address, by the closing date of 1st December 2008, to: Swing Competition, Dorset Magazine, 3a Poundbury Business Centre, Poundbury, Dorchester DT1 3RS, or click here to enter online.

Martin and the Editor of Dorset magazine will then choose the winner from the entries received. The winning entry will be the one with the correct answer to the question and what Martin and the Editor consider to be the best tie-breaker.Usual terms and conditions apply.

The Editor’s decision is final. The prize is not redeemable for cash
