Rules!
The UK Professional Hunters Tour has received various offers of prizes from its sponsors which will be included in a free prize draw which is to take place on Wednesday 25th March 2009 at the Powell-Cotton Collection,
Quex Park,
Kent. There is no purchase necessary and entries are strictly limited to one per person. Entry into the prize draw is via completion of a pre-printed entry card which can be obtained at any location of the tour on the day that we attend and this must be submitted on the day and will be included in the prize draw on 25th March 2009. Each prize is specified and the exact details of what is available can be found online at www.UKPHT.co.uk. Some prizes include dangerous and plains game safari packages and personal indemnities will be required in order to complete them. We anticipate that weapons such as knives and rifles may constitute prizes on the tour and the winner will therefore need to be of a legal age and have the correct documentation / license with which to possess such an item. There is no cash alternative to these prizes and they are not transferable in any way under any conditions.
