The business team here at the Daily Echo has teamed up with Fontwell Park Racecourse to offer a fantastic prize for readers, worth £1,000.

Fontwell Park is hosting a VIP company day out at the races on Wednesday, May 25, and you won't have to pay a penny.

The winning firm will receive a hospitality suite for ten people, with admission tickets, Buck's Fizz reception, three-course lunch, free bar, continental cheese board and afternoon tea.

All you have to do is organise your own transport to and from Fontwell Park, which is near Chichester in Sussex and is about a 50-minute drive away from Southampton.

The prize is on offer to bone fide businesses in the Daily Echo circulation area, and it would be a great chance to reward hard-working staff.

We'll also take a picture of the winning guests, which will be published in the newspaper.

Racecourse manager Phil Bell said: "We always pull out the stops for businesses in Hampshire who enjoy treating their staff, who find a day at the races a genuine morale-booster."

The winning entry will be pulled out of a hat after the entry deadline of Friday, April 15. Any entries received after that date will be excluded.

Just send us your contact details on a postcard or sealed envelope, marked in the top far corner FONTWELL PARK RACECOURSE, to Ron Wain, Business Editor, Southern Daily Echo, Newspaper House, Test Lane, Redbridge, Southampton, SO16 9JX.

Only one entry per business allowed, please. Normal Daily Echo rules apply.
