Free to enter prize draw
You can win a free 3 day Scarborough holiday at the Paragon for 2 people in 2013 (see terms and conditions below).
Entry into the draw is easy, just enter your email and name here:
(Incidentally, we are not going to spam you or give your details to anyone else, the main reason we want your email is to let you know if you win. We'll send a confirmation email of your entry. In that email will be a link you can use to get more entries for yourself. We may send you a reminder email about that and maybe later (at very low volume) some special offers as they arise. We will include a link in every email so you can remove yourself from our mailing list. See below for lots of other ways to enter the competition, too.)
Our win-a-holiday prize draw that ran in 2010 and was drawn in January 2011 was won by John and Isabelle of Kegworth. They booked in for a week at the end of June.
2011/12's win-a-holiday competition was drawn in January 2011 and won by Debbie Charlesworth and Karl Lucas of Chesterfield. They booked in for 4 days in May, a video is in preparation.

The winner will be expected to take part in publicity during their week’s holiday.
