As you may have seen from @Travisthedog 's other thread - Mrs T is running Race For Life. Us Fretboarders made a big contribution to her efforts last year and we raised a stack of cash.

2. PM me to let me know that you have donated, and I will add you to the raffle list
3. One of my hairy pooches will select the winners

Please do join in everyone! It's a great bit of fun, and considering we have 7 prizes already it's worth having a punt! And don't forget - every single penny goes to Cancer Research UK

A lovely idea as always, I'd like to put it out there now though that if I don't win the Dano as I fully expect to, I'll be so upset

Wow, came home to a load of PMs today!

More prizes to add.. I will update later. 

Keep making your donations guys - its brilliant to see the total going up and up!!

Bridgehouse

Well well well.

It's getting serious now. 

11 prizes in the list and they are corkers!


But, it's time for a ££ UNLOCK. @Seating has very kindly offered 2 guitars to the list. Yes. TWO guitars:

- An Epiphone Slash LP in a Hard Case. This isn't one of the cheapo ones but one of the original ones that went for 700 quid or so
- A Jooky Strat (http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/86087/)

Now, this is an immensely generous offer and I really want to make sure @Travisthedog gets maximum donation potential before offering these up. So, here's what we will do - If Mrs T's donation page gets up to £700 (with a big fat contribution from you good folk) then I will add these two great prizes into the draw as well. 

If we don't get up to this, then @Seating will sell them and donate the cash directly to the page (hope I understood you correctly, chap!!) 

Here's the Epi Slash:

What a guy!

This is brilliant, what a great place fb really is.

Wow, that's amazing, I feel like I should have donated more. The reason I didn't is because I usually give smaller amounts to lots of different charities rather than a big amount to a few. 

It's really amazing seeing people raise funds like this. 

Travisthedog

Once again you guys leave us speechless - @Seating thank you, thank you so much.

Updated to add a Biyang Baby Boom Time Machine AD-10 delay very kindly donated by FRockStar!!
