Title: Grand National Sweepstake 2018
Post by: Highlander on March 09, 2018, 19:21:13 PM
It's that time of the year again folks  :))

We are now in our sixth year with this and it's always been a success so I'm hope it will be again in 2018.

For new members the way it works is that I will randomly allocate each of the 40 runners with a number.

Members who want to participate simply pick the number(s) between 1 and 40 they want. I then publish the list of the runners and the CBF member whose number corresponds to them just before the race which is on Saturday 14 April.

The price of a horse again this year is £ 7.00 (unless you want to make it something different    ;)) and the winner will receive a prize to the value of £ 20.00. Monies raised goes to the wonderful Calis Children's Charity. Ever the optimist, hopefully all the horses will be "sold" and if that's the case we can repeat the process with jockeys

It's not too early to pick your number - so book early to avoid disappointment.

Please help the children if you can.    :)

Very nearly there with only 4 numbers left.

16 28 29 and 31

I know existing contributors may be willing to take another number (as indeed some already have) to finish things off but I really would appreciate it if new contributors would join in.

Every the optimist I have to believe that there must be at least 4 other members who enjoy this forum and/or enjoy holidaying in Calis who are willing to give just a little back to help kids who have very, very little.

Sadly, we still have 4 non runners.

So, is you enjoy reading and/or posting on the forum, have received invaluable free advice from members, love Calis and the local people and you haven't already chosen a number, please considering doing so. I believe it to be for a very worthy cause.

Sorry to report that Real Encore (kevin3) and Walk in the Mill (mickinblack) have been withdrawn.

Strange because Walk in The Mill was only entered yesterday. ???

       John

       I don't want this win to change my life.                  So could you please send it to the 3cs, and change someone else's.      :)  :)  :)

Thanks kevin3 - given your generous track record, I was sure that would be your response but forgive me for feeling duty bound to ask.

It, along with all the donations will change someone else's   :)  :)

Time to rap things up for another year then....

Once again thanks to scunner for providing the CBF platform for this event.

Congratulations to our winner kevin3 (who, not surprisingly, but very kindly donated his winnings).

The real winners are of course the children.

As with previous years, the amazing generosity of CBF members once again amazed me as they again gave more than was asked of them.

The total you CBF'ers have raised this year is £ 399.00 !

On behalf of the kids a massive thank you to everyone who took part.

PS I should say that I hope to persuade new participants to come forward for the next fund raiser and YES, there will be one.   :)

Carry on like this John and the 3Cs committee will actually know who you are  ;)

A great total, your dedication is admirable - I just wish more members would join the regular contributors and get involved in your fund raising events. Putting a fiver back into somewhere that gives people so much pleasure year after year to help kids with so little surely wouldn't be missed...

swindsor, incir, stuart T, mercury, marina, scunner, cenk, pi55y:

Your compliments are naturally greatly appreciated.  :)

It is all done in memory of Rachel who didn’t have the opportunity to help kids as a newly qualified Childline Councillor. I know she will be looking down and if she has a smile on her face and is thinking “Well done dad” that’ll do me.

Thank you so much to all of the CBF members who take part in the fundraisers that John organises on behalf of the 3C's. Your generosity, both financial and giving your time, has huge impact on what we can achieve in helping local children. Also, I know that as a committee, and myself personally haven't been as attentive to CBF as we should have been, but do appreciate everything that you have helped us with. My thanks once again
