I stopped comping for a little while after life just seemed to get in the way, but I found I really missed the communication from friends and people I had met through the comping world.
I have taken up comping again and in the space of a week I have won:-
A microwave (one very happy monkey with the win)
A free Pizza
Plus a 60 minute Areo plane flying experience
Not only is it great to win, but its also nice to have that communication with people whom have the same interest.
