After the success of last year's efforts,
and in a bid to keep going in getting money pumped into one of the most
worthwhile charities ever to beat a nasty, horrific disease..
The 2017 Mrs Travisthedog Race For Life MEGA RAFFLE is GO!!!!!
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.
And as per last year, I'm running a prize raffle.
The rules are very very simple - please do follow them as I don't want you to
miss out on a ticket in the draw!
1. Make a Donation to Mrs T's Race for Life page: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/sarahs-fundraising-page-5393 we
all earn different amounts, so it's simple - you donate what you can. 50p or
£500 - don't care, just do what you feel comfortable with.
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
4. I will announce here

after Mrs T runs the Dorchester 5k (!!) but plenty of time to cover payday etc!

add your very much appreciated gift to the pot.
Please do join in everyone! It's a great bit of fun, and considering we have 7

goes to Cancer Research UK
Go!

More prizes to add.. I will update later.
Keep making your donations guys - its brilliant to see the total going up and up!!
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:
It's really amazing seeing people raise funds like this.
