Please don’t leave it too late, the remaining tickets will go on sale at the hospital next week.

Just clicked on purchase, but hadn’t realised that I would be required to register an account with GalaBid!

Richard D wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 6:52 pm Sorry to bore you guys and girls but tickets are selling faster than I thought, only 750 left. Tomorrow the tickets will be offered to the wider community. Don’t miss out, a £1 buys you a ticket and the same chance as anyone else to walk away with a beautiful watch.

I'd assumed they were available to 'the wider community' i.e. the Hospital and general public already.


Guy

I’ve advertised to the wider local community but unfortunately the NHS has been slow in response. Everything has to go through a chain of command and frankly a raffle is the least of their priorities. Hence, I’m going to showcase the watch next week in our coffee shop and sell off the remaining tickets.

Registering simply means we will have your contact details to notify and send the watch to. The data will not be used for marketing. Any future raffle means that you just need to login to buy a ticket or, enter an auction.

….and in the time I took to respond to the above another ticket was bought. Only 262 left.

As sales have exceeded all my expectations, I have asked that once the remaining 178 tickets have been purchased the draw be brought forward.

With so few remaining it’s time to chance your luck with a £1 ticket.

Big thank you and good luck.

Just doubled my chances with another purchase! It’s a great cause, so why not?

Thank you so much.

I've grabbed another few tickets too - great to see this has gone so well Richard!

100 tickets left now!
Great cause Richard and am happy to have donated to them anyway but obviously getting a CW for it will be the cherry on top!
Well done everyone that's set this up and supported this!

Yes final 100 to go. Without Mike, my team and your generosity none of this would have been possible. I’m looking forward to contacting the holder of the winning ticket. Good luck to you all.

Just be mindful of the time difference when you contact me, Richard.

It’s weird that you want Richard to notify you that I’ve won, but different strokes for different folks.
