All,
I just wanted to say thank you again and also, can you keep an eye on your inboxes as a number of you have very kindly sent me messages and i would like to respond. It's the least i can do to show you my appreciation.
Best wishes to you all, this place is like a family.
I'm truly lucky to know you all.
Hi Ben,
Just to let you know the money has been sent rather than clog up your in box.
Si.
So sorry to hear this Ben, I'll take a ticket but can only do Paypal if that's OK?
If not perhaps a kind member will help out?
Cheers,

Likewise, very sad news.
Please pM me your PP and I’ll add my donation, ticket or no ticket is fine.
All the best to you and your family.
If someone could pass me BT details please, I'll contribute. I don't want a ticket.
All,
I just wanted to say how overwhelmed i've been at the response on here. I have no words at this time to express my thanks for all the kind messages and generosity shown.
If you have messaged me and i haven't responded yet then please bear with me, i am working my way through messages and trying to keep track as well as free up space by moving messages around.
My best wishes to you and your families.
Ben
All the best to you Ben. I’m sure none of us is expecting individual replies, you have got much more important things to do at the moment.
Bump
Sad news - my condolences. I'll join in if I may.
Condolences for your loss!
May I donate via PayPal? No ticket needed...

All,
I just wanted to say thank you, had an unbelievable response to this not only with members taking part in the raffle but also offering donations and kind words and thoughts at this time. It has really taken me aback. And i hope to repay this kindness in some way one day. But no idea how.
I will post the usernames of those who i have down as taking part in the raffle tomorrow as i have tried to keep track of who has PM'd me. If you are down on that list no need to PM me but if i have got your username wrong / missed you off the list etc please PM me so i can adjust it. I will then get the list to Mr Platts on Sunday and he will do the draw.
Although there is the odd spat on here at times this place is like a family and i am humbled to be part of it.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Ben

Sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my older sister when she was just 46 so I know how rotten it is.
Please put me down for a ticket and let me have your PP details.

So sorry to hear this. I would like to contribute, but don't want a ticket. If you PM me your PayPal details I will sort something out.
My condolences - I would like to contribute please.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Please let me know how to contribute. No ticket required.
Just seen this, not fussed for the raffle but very happy to put £10 in as well if it helps, just PM me.
Condolences to you and your family.
I’m so pleased that this has had such a large response for you.
There isn’t much anyone can say in this circumstance, but I’m always proud to be part of the forum when this type of spirit is shown to help others.
It's just a matter of time...
Hi
Sincere condolences and sympathies for your loss. Hope you and your family are bearing up.
Very happy to contribute to this. If I'm too late for a ticket that's ok.
Really heart-warming to see the support on this forum.
Let me know how to make the payment.
Stay strong.
Going to close this now and thank everyone. I have no words how much this means to me and my family.
Will get the list to Mr Platts and draw will be done later at his convenience.
Best regards,
Ben
Hi Ben, l would like to make a contribution but don't need a ticket for the raffle, when you have the time please pass on your details.
My condolences and sympathy to you and your family.
Bob.
All,
Good morning to you all.
The results are as follows,
1. Papa Hotel - PRS 22 SBIII
2. Hugh Trimble - Mr Chef's Chrono
I will PM the two winners about address details and also Mr Chef to arrange dispatch of the runner up prize.
I am truly grateful to you all for your kindness shown and extreme generosity, it is greatly appreciated at this time. There was a large number of tickets purchased for this raffle as well as some extremely kind donations, this has raised in excess of £1200!
I'm not sure how i will ever repay you all.
Thank you.
Ben
Congratulations to the winners, but more importantly congratulations to the forum for coming together!
It goes to show sometimes the impossible is possible.
Wow! Thank you so much to Ben for this raffle. It's tinged with sadness under the circumstances, Ben's brother was the same age as me and so it's touched me a bit, especially during this crazy time in the world.
I've fancied the IWC version of this for a while but could never bring myself to spring for it. Consequently the Speedbird has always been on my radar and with it coming into my possession in this way, it will be a keeper. Thanks again to Ben and deepest condolences for your loss.
Congratulations Messrs Hotel & Trimble.
Congrats to the winners and well done to all involved.
Congratulations to the winners - despite the very sad circumstances
Congratulations to the winners. Well done everyone. And sincere condolences to Ben and family.
Congrats to watch winners. The community is the real winner, what an absolutely fantastic place this is when we pull together.
Thinking of Ben and his family circle as they go through this difficult time in their lives.
