As you will likely know if you already signed up, Wonkie held a draw for all eligible email subscribers on Monday, 31 October 2011. It was our largest prize yet – a 16MB iPad… quite a way up from our initial media player, t-shirt and Wonkie pen awards when we first started off three years back! As an added bonus for subscribers, we also gave away 2 media players and 3 Wonkie pens for the runners up!

The winners have already been notified, and we will update this post as soon as we receive their permission to publish their names.

Wonkie would also like to take this opportunity to update readers on progress – to date, Wonkie has captured over 13,000 confirmed, opt-in subscribers (and another 6,000 unconfirmed ones!) Wonkie’s presence on facebook has also been steadily growing over the last year and now Wonkie now has over 5,000 facebook fans.

As always, Wonkie is most grateful for your support and thanks you! To recognise some of Wonkie’s top contributors (Peace, Mzu, a-maize-ingly-corny, Garth, Piedpyper, Madoba, Rio and a few more come immediately to mind) Wonkie is planning to give out some special awards – stay tuned to this post for updates!
