PCP - Raffle to raise funds for V-Flyer.

As those of you who have attended previous V-Flyer soirées will be aware, we try to do a bit of fund raising for the site during the event.

The V-Flyer Post Christmas Party on 27th January 2007 will be no exception. The raffle tickets will be on sale again. We already have some prizes donated and promised - thanks to Wolves27 and mavrick to name just two.

The point of this post- apart from giving a plug to the event, is to ask that if anyone has anything that will be suitable as a prize, and they would be willing to donate it, could they please get in touch. Either drop me a PM, or post in this thread. The prizes do not have to be Virgin related, and we will be grateful for all donations - large or small.

Anyone attending, can bring the spoils with them, anyone who cannot make it but wants to contribute a prize - we will sort out getting it to 'the do' somehow.

ALL the proceeds of the raffles go directly to the site, and are used to pay for running expenses, like bandwidth etc.

We are hoping it will be a great night, and anyone who has never seen Katzenjammer before, is in for a treat. They do a great show.

There are still tickets available and EVERYONE is more than welcome - click on the above link, or the ad on the left side of the page, for details.

Okay not VS related at all, but I know people were interested in these items last time!

- Copy of Vista Ultimate (top end consumer version)
- Copy of Office 2007 Ultimate
- Copy of Flight Simulator X Professional
- Classic Xbox with 4 games and 2 controllers

Will see if I can find anymore goodies in my cupboard.

Thanks,
Richard

Bottle of Jack Daniel's for the 'Metalist Collection' or whatever they call it. Anyway they only sell these special bottles in Lynchburg, TN and I shall bring one to the raffle.

I will also be able to bring a couple of bottles from the Duty free, although due to the superb new security ruling they won't be as big as the last bottles I brought but will still be worth while.

Thanks, Iain. [y]

Being a bloke, I believe size isn't too important. [:I][:I][:o)]

I happily donate dinner for four at either Marie Callender's or Perkins!

And for those who prefer the competition I'll throw in a US50 gift card for winner's choice of Macaroni Grill, Cheesecake Factory or Chili's.

I'm sure LROM or Sarah will want the Cheesecake card but you gotta win first, Richard!

What I was assuming was, given how many V-Flyers come to the States, these prizes would actually get used. But maybe not ...? I could easily offer something else potentially more useful, Nick. Please let me know if you would prefer me to underwrite another option, perhaps something in dear Blighty?

Chuck - I would certainly use the meal for 4 at Perkins on my next visit to the states in the summer (if I were lucky enough to win).

Hey I may even take others along with me too!!

Regards

Just a quick bump for this thread to thank everyone who has offered prizes, and remind you that the PCP is only a week away.

Anyone who is bringing prizes, I hope to be down mid afternoon, and will put them all on display ready for ticket sales in the evening.

Thanks again.

Nick,

I have a Beatle Limited edition print taken from an original artwork to bring to the PCP for auction.

It is individually numbered and signed by the artist and also comes with its own numbered certificate of authenticity.

It has been sitting in my loft for years and i`m sure someone will bid for it.

I shall bring it down with me on Saturday.

Was finally getting round to thinking about this - sorry. Well there's all the unwanted gifts from the December orgy of greed. But I am not sure anyone would be that interested in 2 swiveling plastic forks or a bottle of Paco Rabanne. But I will see if I can rustle something up from a certain yacht racing company.
