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

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. :-k :-k

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

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.

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.

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! :P
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.

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