The Greatest Outdoor Living Sales gold winners to be presented at spoga+gafa
 
Five gold winners of The Greatest Outdoor Living Sales Awards will have the added prize of receiving their prizes at this year's spoga+gafa exhibition in Cologne, Germany.

One person from each of the five winners will be treated to travel to and from Cologne plus one night's accommodation as The Greatest Awards really celebrate going on tour this year.

spoga+gafa runs from Sunday 30th August to Tuesday 1st September, and is the ideal time to have a European summer break and take in some business opportunities as well.

As well as garden furniture and BBQs spoga+gafa covers plants, garden sundries, machines, tools, garden equipment and sheds. In total the show will occupy 12 halls.
