Raffle/ Auction prizes 2009
Discussion
Paul - is there any reason in particular why there isn't a thread asking members to donate raffle prizes? We have had some superb items in the past, including mini motorbikes (which did surprise Vicki a bit when she went to bed, to find a motorbike tucked up under the duvet!) and all sorts of goodies.
Are there some corporate regs that prevent it?

Not at all sir, not at all.
We have simply been doing well from car manufacturers and advertisers and that is the only reason why we didn't open it up. All donations are welcome however, so if anyone does want to donate anything then we will (of course) gladly accept.
Items on offer this year include:
The aforementioned Jaguar XFR
A Caterham for 24 hours
Porsche driving experience at Silverstone
McLaren coffee table book signed by Ron himself
and there is plenty more where that came from

I could offer a bird table but a) I couldn't get it in the car to bring down, b) the winner probably wouldn't be able to get it in the car to take it home, and c) not many people might actually want a bird table 
Sounds like the perfect auction item for Jamie. 
You wouldn't have to bring it down - we'd simply tell Jamie it was 'out back'. Once he'd won it in the auction and donated it again the auctioneer could conveniently forget to re-auction the item so nobody has the problem of fitting it in the car to get it home.
The fact that not many people might actually want it always seems to make it much more attractive for him in the auction ....
