THIS lucky family has won the Evening Chronicle’s fresh flower competition.
Mark Salway (49), of Great Meadow, High Crompton, will get a stunning bouquet of fresh flowers delivered to his door every month for a year after he was picked the winner from over 300 entries.
The competition run by the Chronicle and Miller’s Florist, in Huddersfield Road, Oldham, asked readers: “How many testimonials are on Miller’s website?” The answer was 19, which Mr Salway answered correctly.
His wife Joanne (47), said: “I sent in the answer on a postcard and my husband e-mailed it.
“We were really surprised when we were told we had won. We were delighted to receive our first bouquet. The lilies are absolutely stunning.
