Vote for Deva Victrix! - ParthianBow - 06-14-2011
Just a quick note - only those with UK phone numbers or addresses can enter this.
Those wonderful people at Deva Victrix, who recently organised the Deva (Chester) Roman Festival, have managed to reach the final stages of a UK nationwide competition run by Barclay’s Bank. Having survived the gruelling initial rounds, which saw more than 40,000 others enter, they are now in with a chance to win the £50,000 prize! Obviously, this sum would mean an immense amount to a small business, but what Deva Victrix plan to do with it is even better. They would build a replica Roman marching fort, where the festival could take place annually, and where thousands of school children could visit, to be educated about Rome, and all its wonders.
I was so impressed with Paul Harston, the main organiser of the Chester Roman Festival, and with all his colleagues, that I want to help if I can. If you’re interested, please vote for them too!
RESIDENTS OF THE UK CAN VOTE IN TWO WAYS, but please note that the closing date is 27th June 2011.
How to do it:
1) text ROMAN to 62555 (it’s your normal rate, if you get free messages it is FREE).
2) Go here and enter your email address.
Thank you for your help!
