Amazed there has been no news of winners. Could they have changed how they're drawing against the T&Cs? Told winners they have to keep quiet until the end of the promotion? Smells fishy to me.

Could they possibly be delaying until they're sure that Glasto 22 can go ahead? I wonder if they think it would be poor taste to announce festival winners in current circumstances with new variant meaning a 4 week delay to restrictions ending and some festivals having to cancel...

I agree though that it does seem very weird! Interestingly, the T&Cs don't have any specific information about when the winners will be announced, they do however say this - 

 

  1. Provided no objection is received, if you are a prize winner, your surname and county of residence will be made available by sending a request to JS10917 Co-op x Wyke Farm Glastonbury PD WL, PO Box 704, Pinner, HA5 9PF one month after the close of the Promotion, for a period of 8 weeks. You can object to your surname or county of residence being published or request for the amount of information being published to be reduced by emailing worthyfarmcheese@promowinners.com. Without prejudice, the Promoter will provide this information to the Advertising Standards Authority on reasonable request

 

Not totally clear but suggests that winners will be announced in the period 8 weeks following the end of the competition next year?

It’s all a bit odd there is nothing anywhere on social media I agree … I’ve had a hunt around after each prize period and asked on Glasto chat too …

I'm very much in the game for winning tickets if you end up with more codes going at a later date you kind and generous soul.

Not cheese related, but on the topic of radio silence after a competitions close...

Universal Music ran a competition at the start of the year to win a high end vinyl player and 10 albums, which of course I entered.

Sometime later, all references to the comp, links, etc. mysteriously disappeared from t’interweb as if it never existed. I can still access the entry form from my cache files though (or summat like that I’m not a techie).

I’ve been considering messaging them screenshots of the page to ask if I won. I can’t publicly post on their fb page though and don’t see the value of doing it privately.

This is a section of the blurb on their site (which you probably already know);

I’m a member of the media, how can I contact someone in your communications department?

Please contact us via email at communications@umusic.com and your request will be forwarded to the appropriate contact.

 

So, I would just say that you are actively seeking full clarification on this competition etc etc. It's only an email and a small bit of time.

If they get shirty just ask them to formally request details that they have acted in accordance with the rules laid down by the Advertising Standards Authority. 

Essentially, I'd just say anything that you think will illicit the response that you require. 

As my late father once declared ' Can they shoot you for it'? The answer is 'No they can't'. 

Oh, and when I'm doing this sort of thing I copy myself into the email. However, I suspect that this may be unnecessary, but I'm quite IT illiterate.

PS - The value of doing it privately is that you can put your own mind to rest if you have won or not. 

PPS - Of course you do know that it is waaaay more probable that you haven't / didn't win?

I think you're all paranoid. Not everyone who wants to go to Glastonbury is on Twitter or a member of this forum. 

I enter loads of competitions, often for stuff I'm only vaguely interested in. I won't be logging into a John Travolta Facebook group if I win tickets to an open air screening next month.

There's no way the competition is anything other than legit, the negative publicity for the festival if it wasn't would be everywhere.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
