Competition. Win a Jaws Poster Courtesy of Park Circus

Competition - Win A Jaws Poster Last week we brought you the awesome news that Jaws is to be shown on the big screen across the UK from July 12th thanks to the cool folks over at ParkCircus.Com .  Well they've contacted The Bearded Trio and asked us if we would like a load of Jaws posters to give away?  Absolutely we would! The poster has the classic Jaws scene but with a pretty neat running paint effect.  The words "Back in Cinemas Summer 2019" are in the middle of the poster to give them a unique touch which will appeal to collectors everywhere. As mentioned, Jaws is returning to cinemas in July thanks to ParkCircus.Com and we're not talking the odd cinema here or there but an absolute boat load (see what I did there?)  You can find where your nearest cinema will be screening Jaws by clicking here (Click "show more" half way down to see the full list of cinemas.)
