MEGANE COMPETITION
July 10th, 2003 Posted in UncategorizedSome of you may remember the Megane competition that Mark and I entered a couple of months ago.
We have today received news that we have WON the competition and the pair of tickets to the British Grand Prix that were first prize!! BUT, it’s not just your bog standard entry tickets, oooooh no (click ‘timetable’). We have VIP entry to the event, which will include several build-up races, meeting the drivers personally, complimentary food and drink all day, a red arrows display, a Status Quo gig and, best of all, arrival by HELICOPTER!
This is an extract from our information pack:
“Feel the noise and hear the passion of the most exciting motorsport series in the world, and enjoy an exclusive pre-race briefing with both drivers. From the Paddock Club Grandstand, you’ll be guaranteed an unrivalled view of the race and, in a restricted area reserved for F1 teams and their sponsors, you can enjoy day-long luxury VIP hospitality. To make life easier, we shall have a 10 minute helicopter shuttle into the circuit.”
Approximate value of these tickets is a marvellously splendid

Paul D has pointed out a fascinating fact: that it is in fact illegal for companies to allow employees to win their own competitions. How do you plead, Jac?

It may not be illegal to win but I think I am right in saying that normal competition guidelines always state that competitions are not open to employees or families of employees…I hope you read the small print before you got too excited, Jac…

it was an internal competition open to Renault UK employees only. I agree, though, if it had been a publicised competition that was open to all, then it would have had some small print to say no Renault UK employees allowed to enter. However, sorry to disappoint, but since it was only open to Renault UK employees and only advertised to Renault UK emplyees, it’s 100% legal and I’m 100% going….!
