On December 21, this year’s Isle of Man Post Office Christmas competition winner Paula Procter and three others enjoyed their prize of a festive night out in Douglas.

The Post Office received around 200 entries in this year's competition and was delighted when winning ticket holder Paula accepted her prize. The evening began with a pre-show meal for four at the Sefton Hotel followed by tickets to this year's Christmas pantomime ‘Sleeping Beauty’ by Production Company and Isle of Man Post Office competition sponsors Parker & Snell. This was followed by an exclusive backstage meet the cast session before the return taxi home from the Gaiety.

Commenting on the evening, Paula Procter said: "I was delighted to be the winner of this year's Post Office Christmas competition. We all enjoyed a great night out and going back stage to meet the pantomime cast really was the icing on the cake for the girls! Super competition."

She continues: “We had a brilliant evening and want to thank the Post Office for such a fantastic prize!”
