Great Cash Giveaway in Kingsbridge!
Cash is literally being given away in Kingsbridge from Monday!
To promote the towns’ excellent range of businesses, the Chamber of Commerce is giving away 100 ten pound notes over the next ten weeks PLUS a grand cash prize of £100 per week.
The ten pound notes are available at one of two locations, where visitors can also enter their name for the £100 cash prizes.
To walk away richer, visitors need only to present a purchase receipt from a Fore Street, Bridge Street, Mill Street, Church Street or Duke Street business, for £10 or more, dated that week.
Chairman for the Chamber of Commerce, David Hanmer, said: “This really is as simple as it sounds. There are no hidden surprises. Come to Kingsbridge and you could be leaving better off!
“We are fortunate to have the wonderful array of exciting shops and other businesses. Fore Street and Mill Street will be open for pedestrian access only for parts of January to March. The Chamber wanted to take the opportunity to encourage visitors to enjoy the main roads without the traffic!”
The Chamber committee devised the cash giveaway in November last year. The Chamber is dedicating £1,000 and a further £4,000 has been made available by Devon County Council.
A £2,000 donation has also been made to the Chamber by the county council for use in Salcombe. The details of the Salcombe spending are to be confirmed but may be linked to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The cash giveaway is one of a handful of promotions to encourage visitors in to town over the next ten weeks. Tally Ho offers a bus service to transport visitors from the Quay at the bottom of Kingsbridge to the Cookworthy Museum at the top of Fore Street, for a nominal cost of £0.70p or free on presentation of a valid bus pas.
To receive your free cash, take your purchase receipt to Stags Estate Agents or The Mayne Gallery, Fore Street, Kingsbridge. On presentation of your receipt, each location will offer you a lucky dip from which you choose one envelope; 5 at each location will contain a £10 note. You can also enter your name for the £100 weekly cash giveaway.
Terms & Conditions and further information is available on the Chamber’s website: www.kingsbridge-salcombe-chamber.co.uk and go to ‘News’.
