THE AUTUMN TEXT RAFFLE - HOW TO ENTER AND T&Cs

How to Enter:

Detailed T&Cs:

1. The prize draw will be open from noon on 1st October and close at 23:00pm on 31st October.

2. Entry to the prize draw is by texting CLAREMONT to 70215. Please have bill-payers permission before you enter. Text messages cost your standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates – please check with your provider). You will then receive a free bounce-back message from 70215 providing you with instructions to enter the competition and the option to make a donation to Claremont Primary PTA e.g. no donation, £2 (one entry), £10 (5 entries) or £20 (10 entries).

3. For the avoidance of doubt, opting out of the optional donation will not affect your entry into the prize draw.

4. The prize draw is open to all residents of the UK (please note the text service to enter the prize draw does not include Channel Islands or Isle of Man mobile networks). The prize draw is open to those aged 18 or over - parents, guardians, teaching staff, grandparents… all are welcome to enter. Proof of age, identity and eligibility may be requested.

5. Please ensure you spell the Keyword correctly and send your text message to the correct Short Code within the time period that the prize draw is specified as being open. If your short code is invalid, or your text message is received outside the specified time period you will not receive a bounce-back message but may still be charged your standard network message charge. You will not be donating to the PTA nor will you have entered the prize draw. If you enter the Keyword incorrectly but we, acting reasonably, believe that you are trying to find out more information about the prize draw, you will be sent the free bounce-back message, as described above.

If you follow the link in our follow up text you’ll be taken to a Gift Aid declaration - please read it carefully. Find out more about Gift Aid here.
