FINAL RESULTS: the Great SSiW Giveaway Leaderboard

Wow. 57 new entries on the leaderboard in the last day…

And Jeremy Vine just squeaked in…

It was fast and furious - but Caz has hung on to first place, and wins the week for two in Portmeirion! [And also has to have a meal out with Catrin and me :slight_smile: ].

Bronwen caught up to Gill and is in equal second place - but Gill got there first (and I’ve included a couple of non-specific ‘Bronwen’ entries, which I’m sure are her, but…) so Gill wins a week in Llandysul with Deborah and a meal out with Iestyn and Cat…

Bronwen wins a mystery weekend tour in Nia’s GyrraFan!

On top of that, Caz has also won a free guaranteed place on a Bootcamp - and Gill and Bronwen were within just TWO referrals of winning that prize as well - so we’re going to go ahead and offer them a free place each on a Bootcamp of their choice… :slight_smile:

We’ve got a wonderful private meal out coming up for Caz, Gill, Bronwen, Jenny, Deborah, Cai (and me!!) with, er, Catrin and, um, me. We’ll figure out the scheduling soon!

Right. That took quite a long time to sort out!

And now we have to start the work of making sure we have addresses for everyone so that we can send the prizes out.

Could you all email admin@saysomethingin.com with your full name and address, and the name on the leaderboard that fits with you (if it’s not your full name)? We’ll start processing prizes for people who get in touch with us first - and then we’ll move onto trying to chase everyone else down - if you’re on this list, we want to give you a prize, but if you’re not on the original thread at Share our biggest discount ever and get LOADS of prizes :-) we may struggle to find you…

I hope you all enjoyed playing - and thank you, diolch o waelod calon, from all of us - you’ve helped make this the fastest growing month in the history of SSiW, and that puts us in an incredibly strong position to push on to growing even further this year - which will in due course make it possible for us to do even more things to promote learning Welsh and help people become successful, confident Welsh speakers.

We are hugely, hugely grateful to you all… :slight_smile: :star: :star2: :star_struck:

Hopefully you’ve seen a spike in people signing up … that’s the important thing after all.

No question about it - sharp jump the last couple of days - it’s going to be fascinating to see how far we can keep it going until the party - if it ends up making a serious difference, I could definitely imagine it becoming an annual thing, perhaps with even bigger prizes… :slight_smile:

Leaderboard people - we’re shouting about you on Facebook too :star: :star2:

I’d love to be able to tag you in the Facebook posts - but of course it’s pretty tricky knowing who’s who! If you could leave a comment on the latest update post, then I’ll be able to try and tag you in the next one… :slight_smile:

What a lively weekend! My final hope is now it’s this complicated to keep it organised, it’s too complicated for anyone to see if I make a mistake… :wink:

And remember, mistakes are good!

I’ve just been thinking - of course the date for the Manics tickets is coming up rapidly…

So, if we don’t get our first person to 10 referrals this week, the Manics tickets to WHOEVER gets the most new referrals between now and next Monday.

So while Cai and Bronwen are still in the box-seat there, with a fighting chance of getting to 10 - apart from that, pretty much everyone is starting from today in the race to see the Manics… :heart:

A post was merged into an existing topic: Share our biggest discount ever and get LOADS of prizes :slight_smile:

Now, where have we heard that? :wink:

I wouldn’t make the Manics at any rate from here

OOOOH is it just me or is it getting exciting? I’ve got to admit, I thought Bronwen would get shy (and perhaps slightly vertiginous) and that when Cai powered past, his raw international determination would make it a one player game - BUT NO!!! BRONWEN STRIKES BACK!

It’s better than Formula 1 in EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. :heart:

Um, had I actually updated the post when I bumped this up before? Too many tabs open in my mind… :wink:

Tatjana, you’ve done so much to help spread the word - if it’s tough now, because there aren’t all that many potential learners in Slovenia, we’re still hugely grateful for all that you’ve done before… :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :star2:

And another bunch of changes - talk about nip and tuck at the top! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Good heavens. Bronwen, you have just amazed us all. Utterly, utterly impressed.

If any of your secrets are LEGAL, it would be stunning fantastic if you’d share them in here… :slight_smile: :heart:

Well, I’m thrilled, of course, and would just like to thank my family for all the support they’ve given me over the years… but seriously, that’s far too many rewards for one person! And for doing what? Just letting people know about a ridiculously cheap and life-enhancing offer! So… dinner with Aran and Catrin, or tickets for the Manic Street Preachers? [Nanosecond pause…] I’m going to face my fears, and gratefully accept the dinner invitation, sitting near Catrin. And @Aran can decide who deserves the gig tickets.

I don’t really have any secrets; everything I’m doing is outlined on another thread, How to help each other win prizes.

I’ve noticed a few people crossing the street when they see me coming, so I may be running out of steam. But there’s still almost a month to go, and there are thousands of people out there, who with just a nudge from you, can do something which will open up a whole new world to them. So dal ati, pawb! [Keep at it, everyone!]
