I agree with your assessment of the watch, but: hey! we aren't going to win it anyway, and there's always a fundraising opportunity with it!
Have donated £20 for two tickets. A noble cause on behalf of a great member.

I'm in for a tenner
I’m, in for one. Great gesture OP, glad you’re ok.
BTW how are people putting TZ-UK name in, is it as forename? Thought I did that but may have chosen anonymity.
Nearly at the target amount. One last push to grow the Wooster Booster!
Yes, you did both. I assume that you did not intend to make it anonymous so I have switched it to visible through the management portal.

Morning everyone - nearly over the line....
For anybody unsure how to display a username on the fundraising page, you can use the 'Add a comment' link in the e-mail you should have received shortly after making the donation. I think that support messages are only visible to the organisers but First Name and Last Name fields are shown and can reflect your username if you wish.
I believe that you can also switch between anonymity and displayed information there also.
And here's the main link again.

Indeed, the mysterious Vilhelm Kaspar tipped it over a grand.
Great cause. Donated, don't need a ticket.
How cool is that! We made it past 1k pounds! As promised in the initial post, a couple more watches will be added, details follow later.
Just donated £20 for a good cause.

Very pleased to hear you’re recovering. £50 from me.
All the best Stephen
I have now placed a raffle participant list (which I will occasionally update) in Post #2.
Please advise myself or Mr Wooster if you spot any errors, or if you have donated and do not wish to take part in the draw.
Cheers,
Matthew

I thought about what could be a good way to show appreciation for the generous donations... so here they are, the next couple of watches added to the pool.
First, a Hamtun Nanok White.
This one is also almost unworn, comes with bracelet, strap, box, papers, etc. It's still under warranty I think, btw.
I will also add a Traser Commander Titanium (bracelet inclusive):
This one's a bit more battered, had it for a long time, but it has been serviced recently (has a new movement, comes together with B&P).
The pics are yet again stolen from the net - could anybody please suggest a good choice for uploading pictures? Used to upload with Imgur, not working properly these days (it seems).
Many thanks to all,
Christian

Put me down for 2 tickets please just paid via the fundraiser page.
The Wooster Booster is on a roll now! Great stuff.
I'm trying to donate for 2 tickets but have flashing grey box syndrome
Wooster, you once sent me a free watch (years ago) and you’ve always struck me as a really decent member here. I’m sorry to only now learn of your COVID issues, but I am very glad you’re here and well!
I will donate £20 now.
PS that Hamtun looks lovely!!
PPS kudos to Mr Curta, who is already known as a ‘proper TZUK gent’ and has done me a generous favour in the past.
(donation now done)

Try turning off any adblocker you may have running (Ghostery, for example), it worked for me.I'm trying to donate for 2 tickets but have flashing grey box syndrome
Thanks Simon, I'll give it a go.
Also worth trying a different browser. E.g. Safari on iOS seems to have problems.

I know I said the watch is irrelevant but I do like a Traser so another donation from me. :)
Firefox was no go with or without Ad Blocker. Chrome did the trick so that's two from me
I wonder how much GoFundMe charities lose because of those tech issues?
Hopefully most who wish to support a good cause find a way, but the occasional compatibility problems did come as a surprise. A shame as it has some great features such as a straightforward control panel and an incredibly useful messaging system.Firefox was no go with or without Ad Blocker.

It's a bit of swings and roundabouts with these things. I've been plagued with failed donations on VMG, which is probably worse as the supporter often thinks that their payment has succeeded. I think that JustGiving is a bit more donor friendly but lacks that messaging system. Setting up and managing the page is a lot easier with GoFundMe than either of those.

I use Firefox with adblocker and had no problem.
Just added £20 but I have the flashing grey box syndrome, would you mind checking that for me Matthew? All ok I think now....
That Commander is the one for me lol....

OP, glad to hear you are recovering and avoided intensive care. Matthew, well done for helping organise this. But then, you are one of the forums fundraiser experts!
Please put me down for three tickets, donation made under David Forgrieve. Realised years ago I should have chosen a cooler username...

Bumping just in case...
Glad to hear you're well and getting over it Christian.
Great effort again.
Just put in for £20 but managed to leave the nickname off & then got locked out via too many password attempts due to my incompetence! (it's A Wilmot btw).
looks like thirty squids to me

£20 in for me, all the best
Selling myself short, you are correct.looks like thirty squids to me
I was hesitating on this, but the thought of technical problems and reacquainting myself with Netscape proved too tempting to resist.
Rather disappointingly all went without a hitch, at my end at least.
2 for me please - hope things are improving in Romania.
Not drawn until Sunday evening so still time to join the fun...
Hi, I'm in for 2 tickets please, donation made,
Many thanks for organising and good luck to all.
And another 2 for me. Used my nick this time

2 tickets for me please. Great cause.
Thanks all! I'm impressed with the generosity of the TZ-UK community in donating a cool amount of money to a hospital they will never (probably) visit...
You never know - next GTG and all that. How many stomach pumps do they have in their inventory?
And I've paid the forfeit for last night's sartorial shortcomings.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
£20.00 in from me too- as many others have said, great cause!!

I think it has more to do with your reputation than anything else.
Well done !
