Reply With QuoteHad an unexpected bonus payment this month, so have sent another £25 to each fundraiser for this excellent cause.
I have made a donation.
A really lovely thing to do, thank you. And a very special young man.
If you do this again I'd be very happy to add a raffle prize.
Thank you again, this is, I think, important.
All the best.

Had an unexpected bonus payment this month, so have sent another £25 to each fundraiser for this excellent cause.
I've donated £20, plus the extra £5 in Gift Aid, to Cancer Research UK's under 25 campaign (although I didn't read the instructions to give via the Just Giving page, hopefully that's not a problem).
On top of that, I've contributed £10 to Golden Geese.
Sneaking in 3 entries from me. Having bought a new watch that I didn't need/deserve this week it's only right I put something in the pot.
Good work on yet another fantastic cause Mr Smith, you really are a diamond geezer - love to the family.
Mr Curta, please add another mystery consolation prize into the mix. Good enough for Dustin Hoffman good enough for any TZUKer
After the draw, let me know the lucky winner's details and i will arrange postage.
threescoops and FK77 have both voluntarily donated directly to Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens so of course I'm adding them to the list. It makes it easier for me to keep track if the JustGiving pages are used but I massively appreciate the support and donations however they are made.
Splendid! I have slotted in at Position 7.Originally Posted by nickyboyo

I sent Lorraine a message earlier about the level of support that this has received from the community here. She's sent me this reply:
Hi Matthew, that’s fantastic news! Many thanks for supporting Gold Geese and also for your continued support in sharing and subscribing to Finn’s channel. You really did make a difference to Finn’s last few weeks and brought a smile to his face and I will always be grateful to you and cherish those moments xx

Sorry thought I had done this earlier, so donation paid and a bump up for a worthwhile cause
thanks
Brilliant stuff, everybody.
I'll close the raffle for entries at 6pm UK time so there's still time for a last minute entry or two!
I'll be travelling for the next few hours so will make any final updates when I arrive and Laura will make the draw shortly afterwards, supervised by Alison.
Laura will draw the winning tickets in reverse order to the prize list below.
The first tickets out will be for the consolation prizes, with the eighth and final ticket being for the PRS-22.

Another 2 each for me, please.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

Many thanks

What a lovely boost to find on arrival at my destination! Three quarters of an hour until close.
I'll have a quick spot of lunch whilst the girls have their tea and then we'll finalise the list.
Thanks again to all,
Matthew and Family

...and closed! Absolutely magnificent total.
It will probably be an hour fifteen minutes or so before all of the tickets are folded and well mixed and Laura makes the draw. I'll update as soon as they are in touch.

He's already got one!

Hope you don't smell of Elderberries.
Please pull out another ticket and let someone else enjoy one of Eddie's finest

Many thanks for running the raffle Herr Curta and congratulations on making so much for such a fabulous cause. Last but not least, Suds: thank you for... Whatever it turns out to be!
Another irregular winner here. Cool.

By the wonders of modern technology and poorly focussing phone cameras, I can bring you the result of the redraw...

Well done Sinnlover and well done Matthew for putting the fundraiser together, great job
Most importantly of all, I have just made the transfer of the full amount pledged to Gold Geese. I'll ask the trustees to confirm receipt and report back.
Congrats to everyone - Preacher can you PM me your name and address so I can pop your prize in the post (it might be small and well-formed but I think it is slightly too big to drop through your letter box- will someone be in to accept package?).I never win anything either! Yay!

What the final tally on the other donations? Seems like a wonderful result (again) from a bunch of watch obsessed forum dwellers :DMost importantly of all, I have just made the transfer of the full amount pledged to Gold Geese. I'll ask the trustees to confirm receipt and report back.

The total amount raised for GG and CRUKK&T including a couple of direct donations to CR is a slightly staggering £1145.
Well done TZ
For goodness sake, not only did i not win anything, but the winner of my prize contributiuon lives in Brazil!!!
Couldn't you live in Cardiff, or somewhere in the UK at least ;)
Congratulations all, Mr C, or Zoiksy, send me your details and i will pop my prize in the post
Congrats to all the winners and Matthew: thanks for organising another fundraising success!
That is a superb total, great effort one and all.

Well done everyone and congratulations to the winners.
It’s always nice to win something but I know I’m not going to hang onto this one. I believe that Laura has some overtime on the cards this morning...
Thanks for the splendid effort, Matthew et al.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Cheers for allowing a re draw DocdWell done Sinnlover and well done Matthew for putting the fundraiser together, great job
I think it’s only fair this watch gets used to raise a bit more money for the charities
I have sent a PM to Mathew.
Watch this space...
I never win anything either! And when I do, I only notice it the following day!
Heh. Happy actually to have won the G2000, comes with great karma. And even happier when some such raffle generates a healthy amount of money, showing that the forum spirit is alive and kicking.
Cheers,
Christian

The revised list is below. I think that I've been on touch with everybody that I should.
Every supporter made Gold September result in something very positive, and it extends beyond the actual funds raised for the good causes.

Most importantly, we need to know what the mystery prizes are.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Agree! :D
Yes, but then they wouldn't be a mystery would they?
I don't actually know exactly what two of them are myself, although I believe that Suds offer is car related and to do with his username...
Mine is a watch strap of choice direct from Steveo.
