I was also promised a bottle of rum for a picture featured in the magazine of my boat in Malta.
It’s probably 2 years now!

I understand the magazine blame the drink sponsor, however I’m surprised that when they discovered that some of the promised prizes don’t arrive they don’t put their hands in their pockets to resolve the poor publicity that arises.I was also promised a bottle of rum for a picture featured in the magazine of my boat in Malta.

Still waiting for a reply to my many emails & my refund. Your nothing but crooks!We are running short of entries for Motor Boat & Yachting's monthly readers' photo competition so the chance of winning a free bottle of gin is even better than usual.
All you have to do is email an attractive high resolution photograph you've taken showing some or all of your boat with a pretty backdrop to mby@futurenet.com
The winning image will be published in the magazine and the sender will receive a free bottle of Mermaid Gin worth £41.
If you haven't already tried Mermaid, it's properly delicious and one of my personal favourites so get sending those photos!
Thanks in advance

There was a separate thread started by this poster about some difficulty he was having in cancelling his print subs. That thread has now disappeared.Can you please tell me who you have been emailing and what it is you are seeking a refund for? I have no idea what you are referring to. Feel free to PM if it's easier
Ahah! Interesting. Maybe I’ll give it another go, I do like Mermaid![]()
Please do, it's good stuff and they are keen to be part of the boating community
Over the years, I have won a couple of photo competitions but not had any prizes.I was also promised a bottle of rum for a picture featured in the magazine of my boat in Malta.

Only your last few words gives away it wasn't a photo competition you won, lol.<--- Last competition I won, made the headlines of the newspaper here "Schot Sheit Slingerend Sinisaple" Scot shoots thrown orange (well it was a tangerine...) got a medal for it and was King of the club for a year, as the club was inaugurated by King Leopold I had to swear to protect him and his heirs, something like an informal version of the Loyal Company of Archers is in Scotland.

You must be shit ,shooting your mate, you should buy him some Mermaid Gin.View attachment 198584
This was the actual photo taken when lining up the winning shot, a friend photoshopped the crown on and sent it to me
Boy that was a while ago
I note that I was using heavy slow arrows for that competition, the faster carbon arrows that I normally use can pass right through the back stop so I tend not to use them at short distances of under 25m
At another competition
I did not win overall but won the seniors section in this competition, and I only shot two thirds of the competition, at that point I was level with the eventual winner, a friend got an arrow stuck in his leg and I had to take him to hospital
