After several weeks of running the new Caribbean Christmas Quiz organised by CaribDirect Multi-Media the winners of the two coveted prizes have been announced. Staged at the Tropical Sun (TS) headquarters in Leytonstone East London, the grand final draw took place yesterday Friday 22nd December on a busy Christmas shopping day in a quiet room adorned with Tropical Sun products for the enjoyment of the 4th and 3rd prize winners and CaribDirect social media crew.

Before the final prize draw was conducted the winners of the 4th and 3rd prizes sponsored by Jewel Isle Rum Punch and Port Royal Patties, respectively were presented their prizes in person. Dawn Lindo-Morgan from Jamaica based in London was most pleased to accept her beautiful rum punch hamper and said, ‘I thank the organisers of this competition and think it was a very good idea’.
Margaret St John from Grenada based in London gladly took her 3rd prize and praised the initiative as ‘very interesting and fun’. The event was facilitated by Tropical Sun marketing manager Jag Singh and the TS representative presenting the prizes to the winners was Vaseva Qarau.
