    I reckon that we're almost out of tickets!

    Never feel that I can enter one of these raffles myself, just because one of my dogs will be drawing the winning ball (and I *could* train them to pick my number!).

    But if someone were to donate their prize ro me ...
    if I am lucky enough to win it Tony, I will share it with you, 6 months each out of the year, as I don't gig, and therefor dont rely on a certain 'set-up' that wouldnt be an issue for me.
    Hope you are well bye the way.

    You have indeed. The draw is now CLOSED!!! thats 100 tickets sold and £1000 raised from the raffle. £600 raised from the two direct sales and some donations from elsewhere have yielded  another £319.



    So the grand total is £1919 which is a fantastic amount and means £960 for each of the two charities.

    Thanks so much to everyone that has contributed. It genuinely means a massive amount to me and I couldn't do it without you guys...

    with regards to the draw I've decided that there will now be 3 prizes

    1st place = Custom Veteran
    2nd Prize = A pedal I've built for fun
    3rd Prize = A Thorpyfx Barefoot Button and Tshirt




    so the odds of winning something have just been 1/3rd.

    Before you write my name on the two pieces of paper - would you mind handling some nice sausages?

    Thats why I put the numbered balls into a water pool!  That should hide any scent on the balls.

    Quick update, I have now allocated a draw number to every entry, I'm just waiting for Raul and Moray to email me with their Fretboard usernames. Once done I shall pass this information to @TTony for the independent draw to take place. I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for you guys!!

    Again, this fundraising wouldn't happen without your extraordinary generosity so to those that bought the pedals outright and those that generously bought raffle tickets, I am forever in your debt.

    as for the fund situation, we sit pretty at £1929 total.

    I am currently tapping up some people at my old job so that I can take the total to a cool £2k, £1000 for each hospitals SCBU.

    I've contacted the respective charitable funds and will be transferring them as soon as we can make arrangements.

    Regrettably, for *exactly* that reason, I never feel that I can enter the prize draw raffles here @m_c
    :(
