Raffle in aid of Dulwich Community Garden

[Sue]

As part of the fundraising day this Sunday 22 January (see the links below if you don't know about it) there will be a fabulous raffle!

Tickets will be available at only a pound for a strip of five - and the tickets will be separated when the raffle is drawn, so for a pound you will have five chances to win these fantastic prizes kindly donated mainly by local businesses and residents.

Prizes include a ?40 voucher to spend at The Actress, a box of goodies from SMBS and a voucher for any pair of men's, women's or children's shoes from any Central London branch of Camper Shoes.

For a full list of the prizes so far confirmed, please see the attached list!

The raffle will be drawn at 6.45pm before our headliner Wizz Jones plays.

There will also be a sealed bids auction for two even more fabulous prizes - see the separate thread!

Can we still buy tickets for the raffle if we can't make it to the event on Sunday?

[Sue]

Very sorry, we did consider that, but we thought that it would become too complicated, and also disappointing/boring for people who are there if none of them win any of the raffle prizes!

If you know someone who is going, maybe they could buy raffle tickets for you?

The only reason we're allowing sealed bids for the auction beforehand is because there is potentially a greater amount of money involved to benefit the garden.

I've just added another couple of prizes to the list attached in my original post :)

[Sue]

Why on earth has this been moved into the "For Sale" section???

[david_carnell]

Because you're selling raffle tickets?

[Sue]

Nobody's going to see it here - they're on sale in aid of a community project, which is somewhat different from somebody offloading a sofa .....

[Sue]

Just trying to get as many people as possible to see this, as apparently the thread can't be moved back to it original section :-S

Edited to add: And we'd also like to say thank you to all the very generous donors of the raffle prizes.

Moved to ED gossip/issues section as I'm being badgered to put it there. No more after this though.

[Sue]

Thanks Admin, you're a star :)

Please everybody come to the fundraising day, hear lots of great music for practically nothing, buy raffle tickets to have a chance to win lots of great prizes, AND help your new local community garden at the same time!

Win-Win all round :)

And if you'd like to read the thread which tells you about the sealed bid auction for kindly donated items worth ?940 and ?450

Here's the updated list of raffle prizes!

Only a few days to go now, folks! Hope to see lots of you at DHFC (next to Sainsbury's) THIS SUNDAY 22 January from 2pm to 9pm for seven hours of top quality music plus the chance to win some brilliant prizes!

Don't forget - tickets are only a fiver, you can come and go all day for that, and UNDER 12s ARE FREE! We won't be asking for proof of age, but as this is a fundraising day, we hope you'll be honest :))

Let's all get together and raise lots of money for this excellent local initiative - a garden that everybody in the community can be involved with and share :)

And come and support six of our top local bands/musicians plus the legendary Wizz Jones - all for a fiver or free! They are all giving their time for nothing, including Wizz, in aid of the community garden, so we hope to have a good crowd for them!

:)-D

[Sue]

The sealed auction bids for the ?940 and ?450 items will start at only ?50 - so you could be in with a chance of a real bargain if you put a bid in!

And help the community garden at the same time!

Latest updated list of fab raffle prizes now attached above!

Thanks so much everybody for your support for this community project!

:)-D

[Sue]

We do hope to see lots of you at DHFC tomorrow, in a nice warm cosy room listening to some brilliant music all day and into the evening, buying raffle tickets and cakes, and helping your new community garden at the same time!

You will be able to see the plans for the garden, and talk to some of the people involved - and volunteer to help if you feel like some outdoor exercise in 2012!

[Sue]

This is today folks!!

Do come along from 2pm onwards, don't forget Under 12s are free and adults only a fiver.

The raffle will be drawn before Wizz Jones comes on, at about 6.45pm.

:)-D
