Team Bullheart £1 Raffles…

oooh Peanut M&Ms!!!

I am in for 5 tickets. 🙂

Carlos idea is a good one, though i would prefer the allocation of prizes as the first drawn get ‘best prize’ tat being the BMX or guided holiday.

Then with prizes of similar value, stems, grips, gloves ect. give the winner the choice.

I thought that the idea of a raffle is that you get what ever your number comes out against. As in pretty random.

So I quite like Carlos’ idea for keeping it a surprise.

Potdog is right. So is Carlos.

Hmm… ok.

So picture the scene – you’re watching the raffle draw, LIVE on your compooter screen… I draw out your name first! HAIRYCHESTED! First ticket…I draw out your prize! Peanut M&Ms! Yay.

Surely, you’d prefer first drawn, first choice? You know, like those raffles where they have a load of stuff on a table, last thing is always a box of Ferrero Rochers. First drawn gets to go up to the table and pick the DVD player…

Help me out guys!

I think that’s the way you should do it, might take a little longer to get all the prizes given out, but hey, this is about raising money for charity – and means people that have donated are more likely to be happy should they win something too!

It’s not what prefer, it’s what is more in line with the raffle soul – pull a name from one hat, pull a prize from the second hat. Next!
BTW If I won Peanut M&M’s I could listen to offers, couldn’t I? Even if the BMX winner insisted on swapping 😉

I guess I’ll flip a coin 😉

pull a name from one hat, pull a prize from the second hat. Next!

correct.

or you grade the prizes.
1st ticket pulled, Holiday
2nd ticket pulled, Bmx
3rd ticket pulled etc
etc

Most raffles have a “star” prize to lure you into buying donating.

we’re not buying to win prizes, we’re donating to charity, prizes (if any) are a bonus

You are… others might expect more! 🙂 I’ll email everyone…

Yay! nbt bought me some tickets on Friday, I only want the chocolate.

So you’re happy for random prize selection, bunnyhop?

Don’t care really just wanted to donate.

That’s a lie, I want the chocolate, bribes anyone?

Any more prizes donated Dez?

This[/url] is the current list.
Not heard from Mr Bikemonger as yet…

It’s looking good guys. Can you let me know when you have decided on the draw date Dez as I have a note on my Faceache page to try and tempt a few more donations 🙂

I reckon I shall go for Wednesday 15th. Early evening.
Hoping all the entrants will be able to connect to the web for a live webcam of the draw. Exciting huh?! 😉

wed 15th is good for me. So is carlos’ idea of drawing one ticket for a prize, then a ticket to see who’s won it.

lemme know if you need to test streaming video. are you going to have live chat so we can all scream “FIX!!!!!” when you win the bmx ? 🙂

15th Good here too.

The M&M’s are PEANUT BUTTER not the regular ones. Much nicer than the regular ones and not available in the UK

I think freecaster have arranged the live feed, so be assured we won’t miss the fix stitch up draw.

I think freecaster have arranged the live feed

Huh! That would presume that a magazine or other body had actually taken notice of this charity event and was promoting it…
No, I was just going to use UStream.com . Tested it the other day and it seems simple enough.

I’m in, £5 into the pot.

Well done Dez for organising this and to Mark for being an inspiration to us all

Be a bit careful about publicising this too widely. There may be an issue with Gift Aid and the raffle.

Thanks. I’ll check on that with Bullheart.

£5 donated

If you cant be there for the live web draw do you still get your prize if you are drawn out? Meant to be going to a private view of my old uni on the wednesday early evening 🙂

Yes, of course. Live draw is only an attempt to add to the excitement 🙂

I was a joke! 🙄

seeing how shite freecaster is when more than 6 people try to get online at the same time to view an event.

Thought it might be a joke (It, not you, a joke, of course 🙂 )

Important: To any future raffle entries – Please DO NOT select Gift Aid.

thanks,
Dez

Hi Dez – If people happen to donate money to the charity and you happen to run an unrelated free of charge raffle then there is no conflict and GiftAid is fine.

Unless you can prove that the donation to charity is directly linked to the raffle ticket you should be fine.

If I make a donation but don’t send you an email then I don’t enter the raffle. therefor the donation and raffle are not explicitly linked.

Long winded waffle to say GiftAid should be fine and bump BTW

Last post 7 hours ago ? 😯

7 HOURS AGO ?!

Won’t someone think of the children!

Wasn’t convinced until the peanut butter M+Ms entered the equation…I’m in

^^^ 😀 ^^^

This thread goes bump in the day as well as the night!

I’ve just sold some STi levers and am going to donate the proceeds to Sarcoma Trust. And what do I stand to win? Nowt!

Tried to donate but got a message to say the site was busy & my payment was being queued. Will email as soon as I have a confirmation of payment. I fancy BMXing in Tenerife 😀

Ok, will keep an eye out for your email.
thanks.
