Hi,
Not a big deal but I won third prize on Day 7 of the festival with a 11lb 9oz Ling. I duly logged and registered it with my details etc but I had to leave before the end of the weighing session due to a long journey.
I still have my ticket but have not had any contact or my prize money?
Why is this?
