Competition


Do you often find yourself sitting in the same pub/bar surrounded by the same people talking about the same things?  Is your life lacking that ‘edge’ and excitement that other people’s lives seem to have?  Do you ever dream of achieving something few people can say they have achieved?  Or travelling to places few people have ever been before?  Are you a student, young professional or someone ‘young at heart’ who has more than one friend and an afternoon to kill sometime this summer or autumn?  Then this opportunity might be just the thing for you…

GlasgowBigAd offers an off-the-wall experience to challenge your courage, sense of direction and general where-with-all.  It is…
