http://theroundrobin.freeforums.net/the site is also a competition site where you can post competitions. It has 100s of comps, either email, www or postal
This is the new home of the Round Robins, anything else is just a pale spanish imitation. Its basically a pass the parcel. When the music stops, you unwrap it , take out any entry forms you want, add any spare you have, though that bit isnt essential or required. Then you wrap it up with fine paper and string and send it on its way.
When you join the Round Robin , you will get a pack of entry forms , and a list of 6 names and adresses. I send the pack on to the first address , then in a day or 2 , you send it on to the next on the list. people add and take away as it continues on its journey. Then last on the list , sends back to me. I then refill it and send it round the group again
You need to tell me if you move house or go on holiday. Apart from that there are no rules.
You can put anything in the packs , thats useful to compers. . Pens , money-off coupons, postcards, envelopes. If there are lots of leaflets with just details of where to send texts or postcard entries, dont send them all in the pack, just send a couple for info for rest of group.
All the packs are forwards packs , unless it has a great big black BACKWARDS on the bottom of the address list. If they are forwards packs , they go from me, to member number 2, to member number 3, to member number 4, to member number 5 , to member number 6 . Then number 6 sends the pack back to me. But by the time the packs have been round the group, they are usually fairly empty by the time number 6 gets them , so im trying to alternate the packs. If a group has had a couple of forwards packs, you will find the next one will be a BACKWARDS one . a backwards one is the same, but it goes , from number 6 , to number 5 , to number 4 , to number 3, to number 2 and then back to me
If there are any entry forms that need posting in in-store boxes, just fill in your details and leave in the pack. When i get the pack back , i will post the forms in whichever box/ store it needs to go in.
If you havent had a pack for a while, contact me and i will see if i can find where the pack has got stuck.
