Australian Competitions Club

To celebrate the movie release of The Iron Lady, you could win a trip for 2 to London, worth over $8,000!


This fabulous prize is all thanks to boutique hotel specialists, Mr & Mrs Smith (www.mrandmrssmith.com) and British Airways.

The Iron Lady depicts the compelling story of Britain's ex-Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.

The film stars Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep as Lady Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher. Their young selves are played by Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd.

The film is written by award-winning writer Abi Morgan, and directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!).

It's the latest political flick that sets out to personalise and humanise famous political struggles, but it is also a story of love.

The Major Prize
-Two return economy tickets to London, flying British Airways
-5 nights accommodation for 2 at The Arch London hotel, a grand Georgian hotel thanks to boutique hotel experts Mr & Mrs Smith
-Dinner at Hunter 486
-Daily breakfast for 2
