TWENTY couples are in with a chance of winning the perfect prize as they plan to tie the knot in the near future.

The Claremont Lodge Hotel in Alloa and the Alloa & Hillfoots Advertiser teamed up to offer our readers the chance to win a fabulous wedding reception - complete with superb wedding banquet, and a fun-packed evening reception and disco.

We invited readers to nominate couples for our competition, and friends, family and some couples themselves did just that.

And now it's up to you to vote for one of our 20 couples to win this top prize.

A sparkling wine reception will greet our winners on arrival at the Claremont Lodge, followed by a three-course meal for up to 40 people.

The prize also includes a table plan and decorations, place cards, a master of ceremonies and a sparkling wine toast to the happy couple.

The evening reception will cater for 90 people, with a delicious buffet and disco included in the prize.

Over the next four weeks, we'll print a voting coupon in the Alloa & Hillfoots Advertiser, the winners will be the couple with the most votes. It's as simple as that.

So couples should encourage their friends, family and work colleagues to fill in the coupons in their favourite local newspaper each week to boost their chances of winning.

Each week, you'll find the voting coupon printed on the inside back page of the Advertiser - and that's where you'll find this week's coupon.

You can vote as many times as you like, but all votes must be on the voting coupons printed in the Advertiser. No photocopies are allowed.

The date of the wedding reception is subject to availability.

There is no cash alternative and the editor's decision is final.

Full details of our wedding reception prize package are available from the Alloa Advertiser office in Drysdale Street, Alloa, or from the Claremont Lodge Hotel.
