SP Xtra: Editor's Blog

Hi, my name's Sammy and I'm the Editor of Simply Prizes magazine. Every week I'll be bringing you an update or two about any interesting competitions I find or any comping news. Plus I'll bring you any competitions or offers I find.

Question: In what year was Wingback founded?

Our advice: 2014

Question: What is the botanical name for barley?

Our advice: Hordeum vulgare
