We have been overwhelmed with the response to our July competition for a £40 voucher courtesy of Dorchester BID.
There can only be one winner, and from hundreds of entrants to The West Dorset Magazine’s competition it’s Michael Kent from Bothenhampton, who correctly stated that BID stands for Business Improvement District.
And now he has won the £40 voucher to be spent in any shops belonging to a Dorchester BID member – he has chosen Goulds.
Michael said: “That’s amazing to win the voucher. That’s more than I have ever won on the Lottery. ”
Phil Gordon from Dorchester BID said: “The Dorchester Business Improvement District (DBID) has been running a wide range of projects and initiatives in town since 2008. Most of these activities are geared towards supporting high street businesses, but many benefit locals and visitors alike.
“The DBID was delighted to be involved with this competition with WDM and we congratulate the winner, Michael Kent who has won a voucher for £40 to spend in a shop of his choice in Dorchester, well done Michael.”
DBID has fully funded live music every Saturday in South Street next to Newlook/Café Nero this summer and is running the Dorchester Supersleuth Competition again for children aged up to 16. This year find the flags of Olympic competing countries in Dorchester’s shop windows. Children collect stickers from the shops and can win money to spend in them.
To take part, collect your free mission sticker album from the library or Shire Hall Museum.
