Usually I try to be online at the time of the prize draw. Last Saturday I was on my way back home from collecting a Beogram 7000 in Germany, so I missed it. Sunday night might prove to be a better time.

Ironically I think the problem might be that the new date and time is a moment when most of us are free, and therefore not sitting in front of a computer on the beoworld forum.  I know in my case the reason I was able to attend the old prize draws was because I was stuck on a library computer at that time of day, so I was bound to watch.  On a weekend though I'm usually doing other things.  Plus after 1.5 years of not having won anything I've somewhat given up hoping lol.

I'm never sure of what time the draw starts.....is there a set time? Maybe if it was a little bit earlier? Just a thought!

I have to say that although I did post once during the last prize draw I don't usually..I think I get too excited and then can't think of anything interesting to post except..ME! ME! ME!!

I believe it is 9.00pm UK time, which also means that the rest of the Europe will have to stay up rather late (not to mention on Wednesdays®...). I have no problem, I'm just thinking about the poor folks who have to get up early to work :P

I don't think it's possible to please everybody - we have lots of active overseas members -  but could it perhaps be one hour earlier? Has there ever been any published demographic on where Beoworld members live?

Great idea Andy 🤒

Even if I'm not gold member it is very interesting to be with you on prize draw night, and I'm always there ...

I'm to lazy to change my Visa virtuon card, and become gold 🙁 but I will do it :)

Good idea, Andy. I think Saturday and maybe also Friday is not a good day for a draw, because lots of people have things planned on those days. I guess that is why you did not launch a Sat©-Thread?! 😎

I think it is a good idea to let the draw take place on a specific day of the week.

Whatever you do it is not easy!  I have no objection to any changes - and confess taht sometimes I miss the draw as I am away or if I need to leave early the next day I may miss the end!  Bringing it forward 1 hour would help the UK, Europe but not those in USA, Canada, the Antipodes etc (sorry if I have missed out any other areas with regualr members (Reunion, RSA?)).

I am just so taken with the whole concept of the draw (not so sure about being able to make meaningful comments!) and love the mint items that keep turning up!

Well according to the front page the next draw won't happen for about another 339 days.

So I think whatever option is chosen, it'll give plenty of time for us all to arange our schedules 😕

But only 24 days now... 🙂
