VIP TICKET WINNERS Thursday 26th November 2009
Announcing the Winning Contestants from the 2009 Food & Drink Industry Party.
The ‘Rename that Cocktail’ competition has been a great hit and we have more than 100 entries over the last two weeks. So thank you to everyone who took part and we hope that even if you didn’t win that you will pick up a ticket and come to taste the cocktails you renamed.
However, you still have another chance to win 2 V.I.P. tickets, as one of the winning names that we picked was sent in by the Sugar Club Team at Sugar Ridge Hotel and as they will be hard at work on the 5th December they would like to ask the public to beat their winning name. Which is…
Legend
Because of the mythical symbol on the Remy Martin bottle and also for the fact it is a classic amongst cognacs. We think of legends as great men (& women) of sophistication, the same as most think of Remy Martin.
So you have a few more days to enter a new, new name for the
