Wonder why ;)?

Please read the amendments to the raffle, in order to comply with all regulations we have had to add in a question, which being part of a cricket forum we would hope you can all answer! Please no answers on topic :D
The procedure remaining unchanged though, just pm us an answer and preferred number and we'll confirm all and give payment details.
And finally good luck to all and please back the raffle, it sohuld provide a great xmas eve atmosphere! and giving a chance to win a decent prizes at minimal prices, if its well backed then competitions of different sorts may be looked upon more favourably in the future by prospective runners :)
Thanks for your time.

I would've preferred 'Lesbians, borrowed weekly'
-
Question:
if santa were to bring us either prize number 1 or 2, would we be able to choose the weight/specification of the bat we want?
many thanks
-
The bats can be chosen from any of the ones we have in stock at the current time, or, if we have nothing that floats your boat, then we can have another made up for you, with your choice of weight and profile, we urge you to choose a profile from the current cf range, as these are the profiles charlie can produce best, however if something different is wanted, as long as it isnt outrageous then i am sure charlie will be able to help you out in those respects!
-
Not sure if this was answers in the previous thread, what happens if you don't sell all the numbers, there must be a 'break even' point.
Like you said before, it's not a profit making excersise but all this obviously cost a fair amount of bunce.

The raffle will go ahead no matter how many tickets are sold. If it has to be subsidised then so be it, this is why we are hoping the members can help us to sell them all :)

What will be the plan if not all tickets are sold, and one of the unsold numbers is drawn??
-
it will roll over to the next lotto draw :)
but lets not think like that, we will sell them all with your guys help ;)
-
Interested in getting a ticket. The bats which you were trying to sell earlier are they the actual ones which we can win?
-
If we still have them, then yes, you can pick one of the bats we already have in stock, or else we can get Charlie to make one up for you
-

OK thanks, will take a ticket off your hands when I get onto a computer.
-
...you could even come and handpick one Tom!
-
Where is Charlie French based? I don't need any more bats but for a tenner, I can't say no!
We should have raffles more often IMO.

Not sure it will be allowed! this is very much a one off for the members i think, as the ruling was that its not allowed.
But if its well supported, which so far its looking great so keep up the good work guys!! then you never know what the higher powers may say or do in the future :)
-
Tom, CF is based near Nottingham, but the current S&J CF stock is located in Preston
-
If the bats look anything like 'Bat No 1' from the sales post, then I can't see why 49 tickets won't be sold!
Sent you a PM Johnny.
-

Is 'handbag' a euphemism?
-
Is 'handbag' a euphemism?
Its the bag the wife/gf carries around with her purse and everything else in it including the kitchen sink... and their husbands/bf's nuts... usually has about $100 worth of coins floating around in the bottom of it too
