Competitions

The details of the competitions that take place at Cestria Community Housing are listed below.

Garden Competition

Is Your Garden Blooming Marvellous?

Then why not enter Cestria's 2010 Garden Competition?

Over 50 of our tenants entered the garden competition last year and although not everyone could win a prize, everyone enjoyed the experience, especially the exciting Presentation Ceremony at Beamish Golf Club where the winners are announced and everyone enjoys a delicious buffet lunch. Transport to Beamish Golf Club is also arranged free of charge. To ensure everyone who wants to attend the Presentation Ceremony is able to, we can also arrange assistance for tenants that have mobility issues.

If you are interested in being part of this competition, click here to complete the online application form, or you can look out for the application form in the forthcoming Cestria Courier and send your entry to Mary Brennan, or you can simply call Mary on 0191 3851931 and she will take your details over the telephone.

Annual Tenant Satisfaction Survey

Cestria operates a prize draw for anyone sending in their completed Annual Tenant Satisfaction survey. Winners are chose at random by the Chief Executive, Ian Broughton, the Chair, Paul Tinnion and the Vice-chair, Vera Codling. In 2008 tenants decided that the £400 prize money should be split equally eight ways with each winner receiving £50.

The lucky winners this year were:

• Mrs C & Mr J Shotton
• Mrs E Davison
• Mrs J Barnes
• Mrs M E Shields
• Ms L M Manuel
• Miss G Starkie
• Mrs M Armstrong
• Ms A O'Shaughnessy

Good luck to everyone entering next year!

Quarterly satisfaction survey prize draw

Cestria has began operating a quarterly prize draw for anyone sending in their completed satisfaction surveys. All of the entries will be put together and the winners will be chosen at random. The lucky winners will each receive a £10 voucher so get posting, remember anyone who sends a survey back is in with a chance of winning!
