Dear XXX,

It doesn't get much better than a cool pint of Guinness® Draught on a long summer evening. Summer is well and truly here and those long summer evenings don't get any longer than this.

Today is the summer solstice, Ireland's longest day, and that means more time to get together with your mates and enjoy a cool pint of Guinness Draught. But the best bit is that after Friday has whet your appetite, who knows where the weekend could take you.

Whether you hit Galway's west coast for the brilliant beaches, plan to catch a concert in Cork or are just staying local to catch up with friends, your favourite pint will be there waiting. And because we know that as the sun finally begins to set, your night is only beginning, we've got 50 Guinness® summer hoodies to keep you warm long after the stars come out.

For a chance of winning one, email your name and address to tom@guinness.com now. The first 50 who get in touch will get the exclusive Guinness hoodie.

Good Luck,

Drag00n79

Yeah, just saw this myself a few minutes ago. Got mine in. Fair play to them - they're taking good care of us.

Probably but sure try anyway. Dumb priest...;)

Elliee

Jimbo

zAbbo

I got an email back saying "hard luck, you would have won, cept someone posted the information on a public forum so your chances plummeted"

coldfire1x

Grawns

shalom

Eurorunner

Just mailed. I'd be surprised if i hit top 50 though!

kmart6

Sent one there,be sirprised if I get it as well though!

Heh, I got the e-mail but I didn't read it since it's pissing rain out and it said 'make the most of the summer evenings' so I just clicked out of it - just sent it in now

cormie

Must be great being the likes of Guinness and Jack Daniels where people will usually actually BUY this kind of gear and advertise for them. Can't imagine people buying Dettol or Avonmore hoodies:pac:

colly10

excellent offer, just mailed back now, say im too late but fingers crossed/ Guinness have the best offers

LOL me too :rolleyes:

dsane1

Maybe im just paranoid lol,but is this a way for them to check who has already received a free offer etc and so eliminate them from the new one .Feel free to move to conspiracy theories lol

Lenny

yea got the email myself, and just by chance read the last bit of it, replied under 30 mins of gettin the email. didn't get any reply yet though,has anyone else? also how did he know you knew about it offa message board? are you not registered/signed up for it?

Lenny

just realised that I spelt the email wrong, didn't put two "n"'s into the guinness word. guess I'm wrll too late now!

jaffa20

Damn too late

Basq

I only replied to mine at about 12:50!

jaffa20

Wonder when we find out if we're gonna get one

Grawns

Just checked the T&C and it does not say that winners will be notified.

Alanstrainor

replied to mine at 11ish, i doubt ill get one, but either way, with the amount of decent free stuff i've gotten off guinness i can hardly complain:pac::pac::pac:

Rowley Birkin QC

Chanced my arm there, cheers op.

mossyd

got my mail in just before 12 .. little hope being rested on this one..

But, has to be said, fair play to them!

Ste.phen

I was banking on the number of being awake that early being a low number

I'd assume winners would be offered a choice of sizes though? Only checked my emails at 11 so probably didn't get.

Probably won't know. Just checked terms and conditions and it mentions nothing about notification. Only to allow 28 days for delivery...

Thephantomsmask

Just got an email saying I wasn't quick enough:( did anyone manage to win one?

I gave them a size when I put it in.

It's not blank, they wrote it in white text, or forgot the black background! Basically said comiserations and to watch your inbox as more competitions were on the way. Wouldn't mind a few more competitions like that.

Oh yeah, highlighted it and could read it!!
They also sent me another email too with readable text.

So close, yet so far

Super Sidious

Just got the comiserations email... i think its slightly stupid that they send the email at 10am on a shaggin sat. morning!

Considering most of their customers are hanging in bed saying "il never drink again" or "What happend last nite"

jaffa20

I didn't get anything. No news is good new

DJ_Spider

Don't you think it's strange that pretty much everyone who replied didn't get one? Oh and now watch your spam increase! I got an email from a company a while ago I signed up to thier newsletter, when I opened the email it was for pills! Someone had cloned the companies email address.

But might be wrong, I didn't send off a mail as I have only just seen this thread! (note to self, subscribe to bargain alerts!)

In fairness to their advertising team ,they've spent a lot on the poker chips in the past .Personally I don't mind the odd bit of spam from them .
