Raid that piggy bank and bring along some gold coins as well for the fun games between rounds.

This event is going to have a “regifting” theme where you pass on an unwanted gift at the door towards the winners prize and in return, you receive a ticket in the draw for the fabulous lucky door prize filled with the best of Wyndham’s products and services.
