Charity......

[Garlick]

So, how much did we raise last weekend?

£2,856

Thank you so much to everyone who bought a ticket, a car, stuck their hand up in the auction or who simply chucked us a few quid for the pot.

We'll get the cash in the bank and straight off to Cancer Research.

The good news is that Nubbin and Tuscan Rat (c/o JamieB) have allowed us to sell the famous SEAT doors to add to the charity pot. We'll do this either through a forum auction or the PH classifieds, so thanks to those guys we 'aint finished yet

Thanks again for your generosity

[JamieBeeston]

Well done all..

Every £ helps!

Good job!

I'm glad to hear the money is going to a worthwhile cause. The drunk auction was great, though my lass kept putting her hand over my mouth as she thought I may have tried to take part in the drunken bidding!

I still think we need to find some way of getting back to the Ted days where we were nudging £5,000.

Just thinking back to 2004, I won a motorbike in the raffle and someone paid £500 for a framed pic of my vehicle on EuroHoon and then Jamie-style promptly gave it to me.

</a>


Those were the days and with arguably more members there is no reason why we shouldn't hit those figures again

I would gladly donate some of our products to the raffle , but somehow fitting a 2m high bird table or a 4m high Dovecote into someone's sports car may prove tricky

[Garlick]

I'm up for upping the amount/ quality of the 'prizes' if we can

Don't forget that this year we were approx 70 people down from the days of £5k charity donations, so not a bad haul at all.

But yes I agree, let's try and better it next year- I still think we did bloody well though.

We'll gladly take the bird table too.....

• %@*!

Just changed ONE pic on my profile and it buggered up the whole lot ... then I lost the lot. Just taken me 20 mins to reload 'em all! annnd relax


And trust me Paul, you'd need a big vehicle for one of the bird tables ... like a Jeep with the back seats down

well done everyone and to a charity clost to my heart too

128/130 IIRC- the BTaP file is at home

Burriana - I remember that night... there's a photo of me and RG counting about 4 grands worth of cash... but it all counts for a worthy cause

I reckon we'll get £200 or so each for these doors to a BTCC nutter somewhere, so we'll be over the £3k mark...maybe even £3.5k with a bit of luck.

Just tell Jamie the final bid price and he's probably double it.

Everyone


Good sum & few of the high bidders weren't in attendance ( & I don't include myself;) )& i doubt the economic mood helped....


& well done Gaymie from what i hear

Pity your not as generous at London bars

Indeed

That sum wasn't bad considering no-one had their Nuts waxed

[Garlick]

Oh, I thought we all had to do that before BTaP?

[ali_kat]

But we need proof before we put pur hands in our wallets

MEL, sadly missed this year.

Range Rover and a pink steering wheel cover spring to mind.

[burriana]

However, it might be £425 down from what I hear, as someone who shall remain nameless got a text yesterday asking to pay up, when they weren't even at the auction
