Big Day Off Winner
Just before this photo was taken, Lynn Callaghan, who works with the Lennox Partnership in Clydebank Business Park, was a bit annoyed as she had to come back to work promptly from her lunch hour when everyone else got to stay out a little bit longer. She soon cheered up though, as she found out that she had won a weeks holiday for two in Santa Ponsa, Majorca from Barrhead Travel as part of The Big Day Off with Eden! Listen to Richard surprise her with the news here:
