Slingshot 292 Giveaway Winners.

We had a great response to our Slingshot 292 giveaway with lots of entries from around the world.  Unfortunately, there could only be five winners, and who they would be came down to the dice gods.

The lucky winners were:

Angelo Gentile
Neil Patterson
Erik Strahler
Martin Stephenson
Jake Tattersdill

Our postmaster John G-L has already put the prizes in the mail, so they should be arriving on the winners' doorsteps very soon.

Thanks to everyone who took part, and we'll look forward to doing something similar again in future.
