Winners Announced - Cancer Charities Raffle - TWO Urban Chronographs + Harrison books

[Mr Curta]

Update - I'm adding a mystery bespoke third place prize in recognition of the tremendous support.

The prizes will be awarded in the following order as Laura draws the tickets on Saturday at 6pm (BST):

1. 'Build Your Own' Urban Chronograph
2. 'Build Your Own' Urban Chronograph
3. * Mystery Bespoke Third Prize *
4. 'Harrison' by Jonathan Betts
5. 'Harrison' by Jonathan Betts
6. 'Harrison' by Jonathan Betts


We were overwhelmed by the response to Laura's first TZ-UK fundraising raffle in support of two of the charities that have supported us through Laura’s battle with cancer. Now it’s time for another. If you like the look of one of these, or would just like to do something to help seriously ill children, please read on…




Children with Cancer UK fund research into safe and effective treatments for the many unique childhood cancers. Without this Laura might not be with us today. They also support a large number of welfare projects that provide immensely valuable practical support to young cancer patients and their families. Make-A-Wish needs little introduction. They gave Laura something to focus on and look forward to during her months of gruelling treatment.


To take part, please post in this thread and make a discretionary donation^[1] of £5 per entry^[2] to Laura’s new fundraising page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Some...ial/Lauraswish

Please include your TZ-UK user name in the comments if it's not obvious. I’ll maintain a list of the participants here and will let this run until 24 June to maximise the fundraising potential. Laura will personally draw the winner.


The two winners will each receive a Unique Coupon Code worth US$295 for a 'Build Your Own' Urban Chronograph from Undone along with all of the necessary details to place the order. These now retail at US$295 - US$335 depending on printing options. The case, dial, hands, strap and personal printing (if wanted) are all fully customisable and there are a great number of possibilities with options including 4 case finishes, 23 dial designs, 3 handsets styles in 9 colours and 27 straps. The configurator with all of the options can be found here: https://www.undone.watch/watch/custo.../urban-vintage

If there are any additional costs for personalisation or postage, I will cover them. The coupon is transferrable, so the winner is completely free to sell it on or give it away. If this is not your kind of thing, I bet you know someone who would enjoy it.

The founder of Undone is the well respected Michael Young. There is a thread with some nice photographs and comments here: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...hael-Young-(HK) and a recent review on ABTW here: http://www.ablogtowatch.com/undone-u...-watch-review/

There are three consolation prizes of brand new copies of the excellent little Jonathan Betts book on John Harrison.

Alex

[Possu]

Send the money to UK member and he/she can do the donation with GIft Aid?

I don't think it's quite worth the effort and it would be bending the rules a bit too much to my liking.

[subchris]

Another £10 with gift aid !!

Cheers!
Chris

[Mr Curta]

We are delighted by the response and support for this, very generous donations already. If I somehow miss you from the list please let me know.

[Crazytrain]

I'm in for three. Don't know what I'm in with a shot of winning as the photo's are blocked by the works IT police - but that's not really important. Sounds interesting and I'm always happy to contribute to a charity that is close to my heart.

Thanks, that's a really heartening attitude on a day when the news is pretty grim.

[Firesam]

In for 3 as well Matthew, keep up the great work you are doing.
All the very best to Laura.

[Mr Curta]

A nudge up from Page 2, and to add that the coupon is fully transferrable so the winner is completely free to sell it on or give it away.

If this is not your kind of thing, I bet you know someone who would enjoy it. My kids have had a lot of fun playing with the configurator. There are a lot of options, it is easy to miss the various sub-menus under Dial, Hands and Strap.

[mjgerrard]

Best wishes from me - £15 donated.

[Possu]

A saturday night bump with one more ticket for me please.

[Mr Curta]

A saturday night bump with one more ticket for me please.

Thanks, Antti you are a real gent.

For those enjoying an evening out, for the price of your next drink or two you can make a real difference to a child going through a very tough time.
Salud!

[Mr Curta]

Visitors to Laura's fundraiser page might spot an extremely generous donation by one of our members. We are very moved and very grateful.

In the light of the fantastic total raised so far, I'm adding a second 'Build Your Own' Urban Chronograph to the prize pot, so every ticket has double the chance of winning.

Thanks again,

Matthew

[seikopath]

Big up the Dave

[mjgerrard]

[W44NNE]

£15 + gift aid donated from me. Thank you

[Mr Curta]

Great stuff all, thanks again for the support.

I'm heading off now for a few days and internet will definitely be hit-and-miss, but I'll update this thread whenever I get a chance. I'll be back before the weekend, all being well, to organise Laura making the draw.

Cheers, Matthew

[Carlton-Browne]

Put me down for two please.

[sweets]

3 for me please. Great cause

EDIT - of course I meant 6, somehow I had in my head they were £10 each, not £5. Kindly corrected by Matthew

[knw101]

£30 donated. Great cause and best wishes!

[Mr Curta]

Thanks very much for the latest contributions, I believe that the list is fully up to date and there are tantalizingly close to 100 tickets going into the hat. Only a couple of days left now.

Cheers, Matthew

[seikopath]
