LUCKY winners of the Worcester News CrownGate Cannons Competition have been taking advantage of their prizes.

The first prize, of an annual membership for two, was won by Michael Powell, of Grange Avenue, Ombersley, Worcester.

"After two major heart operations it could not have come at a better time, it is fantastic," he said. He also received 10 Cannons children's swimming vouchers.

The three runners-up, who won a month's membership for two, were Linda Cheese, Lynne Cox and Paul Scarrott, all from Worcester.
