Advent Calendar 2015 - the days are numbered.
« on: November 07, 2015, 18:58:16 PM »


It’s that time of the year again. Members have kindly made this a success in 2013 and 2014 and I’m hoping it will be so in 2015.

If you haven’t played before here’s how it works.

I have randomly allocated a number to the 25 days from the first to the twenty-fifth of December.

You choose a number and I put your name against the date.

Behind each door of the calendar is a monetary amount – 10 x £ 5’s, 10 x £10’s, 4 x £ 15’s and 1 x £ 20.

By choosing a number you agree to donate the amount behind the door.

I will open a door each day starting on the first to reveal the amount behind the door and the name of the person who was allocated that day.

(There is no obligation but if you have benefited from advice freely given and/or enjoyed reading the Forum please consider taking part).

PS If we fill one calendar, fear not. We will open another.  :)

Why do you have to allocate a random number to each door? You can simply keep them as 1 to 25 and randomly allocate the values for each...

Oh dear :(….because….and I so do hope I get this right..... :-[

People are good enough to pick a number.

I don’t want to just say thank you and leaving it at that.

By randomly allocating numbers, I am, hopefully, saying thank you, and in return, offering a bit of fun (small as it might be) in asking contributors to wait to find out which day is theirs.
