ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Eligibility

1. This competition is open to all residents of the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man aged 18 and over, except ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ or ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Group Company employees, or their close relatives. The competition is also closed to anyone employed, or affiliated with, the venues and organisations who have provided assistance in running this competition, and their close relatives.

How to take part

2. The prize will be promoted on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Shropshire Breakfast Show from Tuesday 22nd July 2025, with the treasure hunt itself being carried out on the morning of Wednesday 23rd July 2025 (except where editorial requirements lead to a change in schedule or programme content).

3. Live on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Shropshire Breakfast Show from 8am on Wednesday 23rd July 2025, the Breakfast presenter (expected to be Adam Green) will give a clue to mystery location, somewhere in Shropshire, where a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ member of staff will be waiting. Further clues will be given out on the live radio show between 8am and 9am and on social media.

4. The first clue will be read out straight after the news at 8am – this is when the registration window opens. Three further clues will also be read out on-air between 8am and 9am. To be in with a chance of winning the tickets, listeners must find the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ member of staff and register their name and phone number with them. In return, each registered listener will be given their own unique number. There is no limit to the number of listeners who can register, though each listener may only register once. The registration window will close at exactly 09:00:00 BST, after which no further registrations will be taken. Once a listener has registered, they are free to leave. No prior registration is required.

5. Between 9am and 9.30am a random number generator will be used to select a winner. Registered listeners will be encouraged to keep their phones switched on after 9am so the lucky winner can be called live on-air, but answering the phone is not a condition of winning the prize.

6. If no entrant registers with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ member of staff by 9am on Wednesday 23rd July 2025, the prize is not won for that day. Any prizes remaining to be won may be offered in new competitions in the future, if editorially appropriate.

7. Members of the public must get to the mystery location in a safe, legal and respectful way. They must not run. They must not drive dangerously. They must not interfere with other members of the public who may also be heading to the mystery location. This message of acting calmly and safely will be expressed by the presenter on-air. The mystery location will not be dangerous. Entrants must not put themselves in harm’s way or trespass. Entrants are solely responsible for their safety when participating in the competition. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who breaches these safety guidelines or local laws, in its absolute discretion.

8. The prize will be a pair of tickets to the Flying Scotsman’s visit to the Severn Valley Railway on Friday 25th July 2025 (the tickets may be physical or an e-ticket).

9. Entrants may only enter the competition once, any additional entries will not be counted.

10. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s decision as to entrants and winners is final. No correspondence relating to the competition will be entered into.

11. Entrants agree to take part in any post-competition ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ publicity, if required.
