We wanted to give you a super treat in this issue of DeskDemon Express, as a little tonic for the troops. So we were delighted when our colleagues Millennium & Copthorne Hotels offered us this terrific prize - a free weekend break for two at one of their 17 beautiful hotels in the UK (excluding London).

The prize is for two adults sharing a twin or double room, and includes full breakfast on both mornings. Most of the hotels have full leisure facilities including indoor pools, and all are ideally placed for sightseeing, shopping and leisure attractions.

Your only problem will be deciding where to go! How about nipping away for retail therapy at the new Bull Ring centre and staying at the super Copthorne Hotel Birmingham? Or what about taking in the sea air and enjoying the top facilities at the Copthorne Hotel Plymouth?

If you're into landmark venues in the UK what about checking out the brand new Millennium Centre in Cardiff, and staying at the lake-side Copthorne Hotel there? Or, be one of the first to see the just-opened music centre in Gateshead, The Sage, which you could visit from your base at the Copthorne Hotel Newcastle.

Of course, if you're going to mix a little business in with your pleasure, you could always check out the hotel's conference and banqueting facilities while you're there. Millennium & Copthorne hotels have a superb range of business facilities to cater for events of various sizes, from exclusive board meetings to company meetings.

To enter, simply complete the entry form below and send it to us by no later than 28 February 2005. One lucky reader will be picked at random and will win a super weekend break for themselves and a partner.

If we've whetted your appetite for a weekend away in a luxury 4 star hotel and you don't win this time, call 0845 30 20005 for a copy of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels latest leisure brochure.
