Am I being unreasonable?

I thought I might enter your lovely holiday competition but when I checked the T&C's it appears that the holiday is not available in July & Aug which is the school holidays!

When else could you like to take your grandson on holiday?

The competition photograph shows children playing on the beach - they're obviously not at school. So disappointing.

Come on Gransnet and Haven think of the children (and their Nana).

Am I wrong? - OR - Am I being unreasonable in my expectations?

sad A very sad sad

Errm, doesn't apply to me, but some may have pre-school age grandchildren?

I suppose Haven aren't going to give away holidays during the periods when they know they can sell them, and when the holidays are more expensive.

Do you only log onto Gransnet for the competitions, lizliz? You could always join in with the discussions etc. and find out what other grans think about what's reasonable or not...just a thought.

Ana's right you know! There's a lot more to Gransnet than competitions!

Lots of people seem to win the competitions who never post on Gransnet. I think they must just be professional compers!

I agree Ana - I get quite cross about people only coming onto gn to enter the competitions!

Yes, I too am surprised at the number of names I do not recognise. I suppose people have the right to enter the comps and not post but they are missing a lot.

Yes some of us spend hours every day on here and don't win competitions, there again I wouldn't enter one to win a holiday with Haven ... not my thing.

I have won some good prizes on GN so shouldn't really comment about other people winning but I'm not sure anyone should complain about a free holiday when ever it might be.

Welcome LizLiz. 're your question, I don't think you can expect competition prizes on here to only be for grandparents who have grandchildren grin. I don't have grandchildren but I am a Grand Parent.

The prize is a short break, either midweek or weekend. You could choose the weekend break and leave on Sunday evening if necessary?

Have you told GNHQ about your opinion? They can do more about such things than we can.
