The Post Office received over 200 entries for this year's competition and was delighted when winning ticket holder Douglas accepted his prize. The evening began with a pre-show meal for four in Harbour Lights at the Sefton Hotel, followed by tickets to this year's Christmas pantomime ‘The Wizard of Oz' by Production Company and Isle of Man Post Office competition sponsors J T Productions.
