Prizes currently include: family tickets to Leeds Castle, Dickens World, Silver Blades Ice Rink, the Historic Dockyard, Chatham, family ticket to see the Gills play or a five day P&O Ferries crossing voucher for a vehicle and up to nine passengers.


	Leeds Castle
	Simply stunning buildings and grounds Leeds Castle, set on two islands on the River Len in the heart of Kent has been home to royalty, lords and ladies for more than 900 years. Visitors are transported through the castle’s rich history, an eclectic mix of period architecture, sumptuous interiors and family treasures waiting to be discovered. Its internationally renowned aviaries offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of modern conservation, while Swans glide on the moat and waterways, peacocks wander through the grounds and birds of prey soar over our continuously colourful gardens during our falconry displays. There is also a nine hole pay-as-you-play golf course, offering stunning views of the castle and the grounds.Leeds castle is not just a museum but also a place where people meet and special events bring the grounds to life. www.leeds-castle.com

	Gillingham Football Club
	Kent's only league ground Founded in 1893, it took Gillingham 107 years to recognise the dream of Division 1 Football, beating Wigan Athletic 3-2 at Wembley to win the 2000 Division 2 Play-Off Final. Although dreams do not always come true, the Gills, now playing in Coca Cola League One (formerly Division 2), have a bright future. Their home, KRBS Priestfield, is now barely recognisable from 1995, boasting three new stands which have transformed the face of Kent’s only League ground. The stadium is now an all-seater arena with a temporary stand at the Gillingham end of the ground. The Medway Stand, completed in 2000, offers magnificent facilities for players and supporters alike. www.gillinghamfootballclub.com
