OK OK, so there was a third Tornado?  Blimey, I never knew there were so many kettles! 

Calling all NGF members

The prize list has now been updated and to clarify things, 1st out gets No.1, second out gets prize No.2 etc. etc  I fully understand that members will be disappointed if they are not eighteenth out of the hat  but whatever prize you win will hopefully compensate 

If every current member bought a ticket (and we are quite a way from that yet!) you would have a 1 in 34 chance of a prize, better than your weekly lottery and we have much better prizes than that lot 

Obviously the fund raising is a necessary evil, we have all benefited, in some way, from this forum but ultimately keeping it running is down to funding. If you want NGF to continue please consider buying an extra couple of raffle tickets, say a pints worth 

It has been a pleasure dealing with the many companies who have supported this raffle with very generous donations, so please show your appreciation by visiting their websites and please mention  as it is important that they get some feedback too.

Thank you all for your support so far and long may it continue

As i'm stuck in tonight, i've donated a Bath pint for you.... £5 !!!! Or as I put it on the entry form - '5 more chances to win that mug' (No 18 !)

Thanks mate!  There's nothing wrong with the mug you cheeky sods!!!

That's convinced me. Have just bought £5 worth so here's hoping.

Forgive my confusion. I made a payment of £5 for some tickets 4th December via Paypal but didn't see any entry form, have I been a complete plank and missed this somewhere or am I ok with what I have done?

Roy, assuming the payment went through ok, Tank would have allocated your numbers at his end, there was no entry form to complete

Roy,

I'm not issuing out the ticket numbers because of the fact that members of the NGF Staff have entered the raffle.  I feel that if numbers were issued, and a member of staff won (especially if this was the nominated person chosing the winning tickets), then there could be some people who might think it's fixed.  I have no problem telling people their numbers after the raffle. 

If this causes any problems then let me know and I'll refund anyone.  I feel this is the fairest way.

Hi Lawrence and Tank

Thanks for clarifying.

I saw someone earlier in the thread mention a form, and realised I hadn't seen one so wondered if I had missed it!

Tank, the way you are approaching it makes perfect sense, after all, why shouldn't NGF staff enter too?

In any case, for me (and no doubt many others here) it is more a case of a small contribution to a Forum I have enjoyed being a member of with the chance to win something being an added bonus!

Cheers

Roy

Cheers Roy.

Pleased to announce that the Hall has just arrived safely with me and it is added to the list of prizes you can win - and yes you do have to buy tickets first 

I want to buy a fivers worth but don't have paypal account.

How do I get some tickets using an alternative means?
