POSTSCRIPT - Fantastic Result - CLIC Sargent and Samaritans Charity Raffle
Charity Raffle for CLIC Sargent and Samaritans
Newmark 71 Reissue, Newmark 6BB Chronograph, Rodina Automatic and a Splendid Strap Package
This fundraiser is for two charities devoted to helping people who are going through the toughest of times. Donations to the VMG fundraising page will be split equally between the two charities. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Som...cial/Listening
Up for grabs are a pair of Ewan’s finest which are very well respected in these parts, punching well above their weight. Once again some generous members have added to the prize pot, and as usual you can expect for some other consolation prizes to appear as we go along.
CLIC Sargent fights tirelessly to stop cancer destroying young lives and were instrumental in supporting us through the toughest days of Laura’s treatment. CLIC continue to encourage her rehabilitation through listening and reacting to her input to their Children’s Advisory Group.
Samaritans vision is simply that fewer people die by suicide. Volunteers work around the clock to listen to and support those in crisis. Over five million calls are answered annually. They run 201 local branches and carry out community outreach work and national awareness campaigns to try to prevent people from reaching breaking point. Funds donated to Samaritans Central Office will be used all over the UK.

Jeremy67 has kindly donated a lovely Rodina Automatic which certainly has something of the Bauhaus about it.
38mm diameter but wears large. Pretty good condition with a few small scuffs on the case and bezel, and an unmarked crystal. It has a display back so you can see the Seagull ST1701 movement with "Shanghai striping". Comes on a fairly well worn Timefactors Darlena strap. Original box and unworn strap included, which Jeremy assures me is far too nasty to wear.
