Admin should seriously be reconsidering that! the way I saw it was that if it's for Fund Members only, Fund Members can surely agree amongst themselves to suspend that rule for Fund fundraising, just as they can agree amongst themselves with anything else to do with The Fund, whether others approve or not. It's our money, we should be free to do with it as we see fit. It worked out anyway in the past, cos it just forced me to find a more enterprising way to raise even more than an auction would have. K.A.I's bonusball idea seemed to be a good solution - until tonight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect any of them to sign up - I just like rubbing their noses in the fact that if they were in the Fund, all sorts of good shit would come their way.

For whatever reasons they don't see the distinction between what we do with our profits, and what a tout would do with theirs, and Admin decided to go with their opinion and not mine. I forgot about that, I think the numbers in a bag by KAI would be the best option if he can get someone to pull out the number then. Simples.

William McBeath 2,154 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Kai and Courtyard Bear make sure this gets done fairly and not just sold to some one who happened to be on at the time the ticket gets posted for sale as most of us will still be wanting it.

At the end of the day, courtyard has won the ticket! If he wants to sell it on to whoever he wants then that's up to him! if doing it by the way of donation to the fund then even better, that's an extra £50 into the fund!

Bobby Hume 12,989 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If Courtyard Bear's number have been drawn (48) .... and (43) seems to be his also, that was drawn ... then I suggest that one way could be for the remaining numbers 11 - 19 - 22 - 42 - 49 to be put in the hat and the winner is drawn from those numbers by K.A.I .... saving him the added hassle of a total re-draw. The other way I suppose would be for number 49 to be the winner as it was the closest to the bonus ball. Either way it will help by eliminating someone who never entered the auction coming in and just buying the ticket .... fairer all round to all the guys who participated in this great thread started by K.A.I for such a good cause. PS :- just seen Scottyc06's post above .... and of course agree that it is after all Courtyard Bear's call on what to do with his ticket .....

Aye I'm not bothered with him doing that but I meant if he just sells it on to any random member when lots of us have already took part and would be willing to bid in an auction or some other raffle. Would end up raising even more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do we get another £50 into the fund but another RM member gets the benefit of the ticket! That's what I was thinking tbh. No way am I comfortable auctioning a ticket for over face value, even if it's for a great cause. The best way since Courtyard Bear can't make it and was the winner would be to offer it the people who bought a bonus ball to buy it for face value (£50) and that's another £50 into the fund for the wee man. I've spoke to CB on PM and he wants me just to pick a name from a bit of paper and offer them the ticket - what I'll do is my Gran is due in to see me at 4pm I'll just ask her off the bat to pick a number between 1 and 59 and whatever number she says, that person will get the chance to buy the ticket for face value. I think that's fair, I wouldn't offer it in the ticket section as it's only right that the guys who paid into this fund get's first dibs on it. I'm assuming no-ones got a problem with that, I can be trusted - it's with CB's blessing and since he's technically the winner it's his call I suppose?

geneva_ger 9,331 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Good shout. Maybe get her to pick several numbers in case folk can't afford the 50. You can then pass it down the line of chosen numbers. Another 50 sovs on the way for the wee man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's my plan as there's a couple of people not interested in going and just wanted to support the fund. It would help if anyone that's reading and doesn't want to be considered could say too so save some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I can't go but would give 50 and hand the ticket over to someone who promises to sing their heart out for 90 mins (+4 for when Danny Wilson heads the winner). C'mon Gran, do your stuff.

ElBufalo20 7,875 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Why didn't @Courtyard Bear just say thanks for the ticket accept ticket and give it to someone you know?? Rather than cause all this hassle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been easy for him to take the ticket, sell it to a mate and pocket the £50 - which he would have been more than entitled to do, he wouldn't have been doing anything wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just a point, should it not be minus what they have already paid into the raffle, whoever wins it this time.
