COMPETITION WINNER

Congratulations to Carol Lang-Jones, February competition winner of a set of Continental Road Tyres. She was the first to spot 'a metre matters' billboard.
On a return trip from the airport (as a passenger) Carol saw the Facebook callout just seconds before seeing the billboard.
