I've done it 3 times and will be applying for next year in the next few days.

If you want to take part in this really excellent event you can only apply using the form printed in the October edition of TGO, out now. Be warned, they disappear from the shelves of WH Smiths PDQ!

If I can help with information on the event please contact me on johnjocys@hotmail.com.

cheers,

John
