Win a limited edition watch worth £54.99

Northern Soul is offering one lucky reader the chance to win a limited edition watch – the must-have gift for any Mancunian this Christmas – to celebrate the launch of The Manchester Collection from Socio Watch Co.

The winner can choose from one of three special designs that focus on the City’s football teams (The Kippax and The Stretford) and Manchester’s music heritage (The Whitworth), making ideal gifts for anyone with a passion for football or the 80s indie music scene. With only 300 available in each design, they are set to become collector’s items and a must-have for any football or music-loving Mancunian.

Money from the sale of the watches is going to the SOCIO Fund in partnership with the Lord Mayor of Manchester’s charity We Love MCR to support arts and entrepreneurship programmes in schools, breakfast clubs for young people and sports initiatives to help children from disadvantaged communities in Manchester.

These watches are only available on line at www.sociomcr.com and priced at £54.99. A total of £5 from every purchase goes direct to the We Love MCR charity.

To be in with a chance of winning, simply sign up to the Northern Soul newsletter (details of how to do this are on the right hand side of the page) and send an email to helennugent@northernsoul.me.uk with the title ‘Watch’.
