On Thursday 12th March, I have 5 VIP RCCGB SAW preview ride spaces to give away!  This will take place between 2.00pm-3.00pm. So if you can make it next Thursday and want to be in with a chance, just e-mail me the answer to this easy question: Which actor starred in both SAW and Leathal Weapon? E-mail me at andy@rccgb.co.uk, putting "VIP SAW" as the subject and don't forget to include your name and membership number. Competition closes Sunday 8th March.

I hope thats not a saw-point for anyone!   The ride is pretty good - longer than Speed and Rage (more like Mystery Mine at Dollywood).  The themeing is outsanding (although I think you'll appreciate it more if you've seen the movies).  There are loads of effects and surprises. The merchandise is good too - in the Saw Store! Please don't give him any hassle, I needed one person at very short notice and you had all ribbed him so much, so I called him to see if he was free! I'm sure he'd have posted himself but his laptop died!   _________________ Andy Hine is also known as NEV! RCCGB - THE Club for trips!
