Each of them won a Tablet and have been offered training on using their new Tablet by Denis Kelly, Inishowen Development Partnership.

 

Speaking to both winners, they never used a tablet before but were looking forward to learning.  John’s grand-daughter Kelly Bonner entered each day on behalf of her grandfather.  John quoted “I enjoyed having to guess the clues each day and I would ring Kelly up with the answers for her to email on my behalf”. Anna spoke about never using a Tablet but had a son living abroad and was looking forward to learning how to skype him with her new device.

 

Congratulations to both John and Anna and thanks  to Greg Hughes, Highland Radio for delivering the clues each day, Inishowen Development Partnership and Denis Kelly IDP for providing the prizes and training for both winners.
