Title: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Pi55y on May 08, 2012, 22:16:10 PM: <center&>(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq221/chrissieinturkey/Promises2012-1poster.jpg)</center&>

<b&>The 3C's annual Charity Promises Auction will take place following Carnival Week on Wednesday 6 June. The auction will take place on Calis promenade outside the Nil Bar, Moussaka Restaurant and the new Bambu Restaurant (formerly Dennis the Menace) and the auction starts at 7.00 pm. All visable items up for auction will be on display from 6.00 pm in the admin area located inside the Bambu restaurant.

We already have some great promises pledged for this very popular and important fundraising event which is the premier fundraising event of our year and all proceeds from the auction go directly to help the children in the local area.

Thanks to the generosity of our "pledgers" and our bidders both the 2010 and 2011 auctions raised 9,000 TL each which went a long way to helping the kids. We would love to equal or better this total in 2012.

A list of the "promises" pledged so far follows and I will then add to this list on a regular basis as new "promises" come in. If anyone would like to pledge a "promise" or donate an item for the auction please could you e-mail me via my profile or at info@caliscarnival.com or you can ring 0536 3739520. All "promises" will be gratefully accepted.

As, in previous years, if you are unable to attend the auction and would like to bid for an item (or items :D) you will be able to make e-mail commission bids both from Turkey and the UK. Bidding instructions both for on the night at the auction and and by e-mail follow.</b&>

<b&><center&>BIDDING INSTRUCTIONS</center&>

Those attending on the night wanting to make bids will be asked to complete a form on arrival at the restaurants giving your name address and contact details. You will then be provided with a "Bidding Number" card (cost 1TL) as in UK auctions. You will also be able to pre-register and obtain a bidding card from the restaurants during the same day. You will not be able to bid unless you have a bidding card. This makes it easier both for the auctioneer and for administering the winning bids. Money will be collected on the night where possible, "Promises" issued and official receipts given. For those unable to pay on the night, payment will be required within 7 days of the close of auction or the item will be withdrawn. In these cases the "Promise" will not be issued until the payment is received.

For those bidding by e-mail, please e-mail me with your commission bid through my profile on this forum or at info@caliscarnival.com

Advise us what you are bidding on and how much you are prepared to bid up to and our auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid - just like a real auction or on e-bay. Bids will be accepted up to 12 midnight Turkish time (10.00 pm English time) on the night of Tuesday 5 June when this facility will close.

All e-mail bids received will be acknowledged within 24 hours of receipt.

If you are a winning bidder we will e-mail you the day following the auction and advise how much the item has cost you. It will not necessarily be your maximum bid. We will then advise you how to make your payment (there are different methods depending on whether you are in UK or Turkey). Payment will be required within 7 days of the auction or your bid will be void.

You will receive a copy of your "Promise" signed by the person donating by e-mail giving full contact details of how to contact them and how to claim your promise as well as a receipt for your payment once the funds have cleared through our account. A hard copy of the "Promise form" will also be sent to you in UK by the next supporter who is returning to UK. We will also arrange for any physical goods to be delivered to you as and when this can be arranged.

I hope that this clarifies the bidding system which has worked successfully for the last 5 auctions.</b&>

Jacqui - a real shame about the mammoth - I heard that they make great steaks for the bbq but would have thought they might be a bit tough after all this time :D

Title: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Liz 101 on May 31, 2012, 20:07:35 PM: Karen, if you're outbid by another online bidder, Chrissie will email you, so that you can, if you wish increase your bid. If you don't attend the auction, & are outbid by someone who does, then I'm afraid that they will win the item.

However we do give everyone 7 days to pay - this gives people a chance to hit the cashpoint after they have impulse bought :D:D:D If you are unable to make it on the night we will e-mail you to advise if you were a winning bidder or not, how much you have to pay and arrange to meet up to collect the payment if you are still in Turkey or we will give you bank account details to pay into if you have gone back to UK. Hope you find lots you like on the list - it is growing by the hour :D:D

Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Pi55y on June 06, 2012, 09:48:05 AM: We have a total of 160 promises - some really great items this year, at least 6 being sold specifically for Bozalan School project. We have a record number of online bids. There are auction catalogues prepared and bidding numbers ready. Please make sure that you register - it costs only 1TL - this covers the printing costs of the catalogues. You CANNOT bid without a bidding number so you may well miss out on a really great bargain if you have not registered.

It should be a great night and we hope to make loads of money for the kids. We hope to see as many of you there as possible.

Happy bidding - tonight is the "Real Deal" ;D

Congratulations must go to our auctioneer George who did a terrific job - he very nearly lost his voice :)

Sincere thanks to everyone who attended, everyone who donated and everyone who made this a ""special night" to remember.

A staggering result, thanks to the generosity of all our donors & buyers ;D
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Highlander on June 07, 2012, 06:54:13 AM: Staggering it most certainly is - huge congratulations to everyone concerned. I'm not sure that we fully realise just how much work has to go into this to achieve such and outstanding result.

Well done again :)
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: busybee on June 07, 2012, 07:12:30 AM: It was an absolutely amazing nite and I cant believe the genoristy of people, to think we probably topped last year by 3,000TL is awesome. Sometimes the atmosphere was just electric. Hope everyone had a good time and will enjoy their promises. A special thankyou to Murat who walked from Olu-Calis and raised an incredible 570TL for us, we even auctioned his t-shirt for 20TL :) Well done and huge thanks to all our supporters and businesses. Team give yourself a huge pat on the back THE TEAM DID GOOD. Now give yourself the day off!!!! some cant I know, cos auction related work will still be going on for the next few days.

Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Pi55y on June 07, 2012, 09:27:46 AM: An absolutely fantastic night, the best ever, and George our auctioneer did an amazing job.

Thank you everyone who supported this event and a huge thanks to the team who worked really hard not only on the night but in the weeks and days before to make this event run smoothly. As Liz has said we hope to have raisied a record iro 12,000 TL but we have to wait for all of the money to come in before we can announce the final figure. As a few items were being auctioned for Bozalan we hope to have paid for a few more desks.

Also a big thanks to Murat for his sponsored run which raised even more money for the children.

I will be e-mailing all of the commission bidders sometime today to let them know how they got on.

Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Rimms on June 07, 2012, 16:32:26 PM: Thanks all for the compliments but I have to say that the team effort that goes on behind the scenes in order to make this happen is just phenomenal, it's a bit like Formula 1 where the car would never even reach the start line, let alone win a race but for the endless hard work and dedication of the team and that is exactly the case with the 3Cs. Well, we not only won the race, but if you liken our performance last night to F1 qualifying, we came in about 3 hours ahead of the second placed driver. It really was a super result. Let me just put in perspective how fierce the competition was to win some of the fantastic lots we auctioned last night, Chris had made a list of 9 items that she wanted to bid on and had decided the maximum amount she would be prepared to pay for each item, I was a bit shocked to learn that her 'shopping list' came to 1,500 lira !!! In the end she won just one item off her list, this just shows the fantastic quality of the 'Promises' we had on offer last night.

Anyway. I think it's time to lubricate my tonsils, I turned the microphone on at 4pm yesterday and turned it off at half past midnight, so if anyone needs a Barry White sound alike voice over, then I'm your man.

Finally, thanks to everyone for the generosity that you showed last night, whether by internet bid, there in person and even those who weren't bidding but gave a donation, one man walking past handed me a 100 lira note for the charity and the effort by Murat who ran from Oludeniz to Calis was sublime. All we have to do now is start working on how next year we can top this !!!

Bored with retirement?????I don't think so

Post by: mercury on June 30, 2012, 19:49:45 PM: Its good to get feedback on the items auctioned. Good or bad because we may be able to put things right so please feel free to comment on any items that you have bought. We dont just want to sell them to you we want you to be happy with them. I am glad you are pleased with your purchases George.
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on July 01, 2012, 08:57:23 AM: Agree with Mercury, would be a great idea for people to say what they bought and how they enjoyed it. It would be interesting to read. ;)
Cannot report back on the Teeth Whitening until September thought. My son was already going to have this done before he got married, so it being in the Auction was a real bonus. The appointment is booked for two days before the wedding so he will have a brilliant smile as will my daughter-in-law (pending) because the auction was for two. Will post some pictures later on. Thanks again for all the hard work the "crew" put in to achieve such a great result in raising so much money. ;D

Title: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Rimms on July 04, 2012, 17:50:06 PM: We used the first of the 'Promises' we won last night which was a meal for two people at the Moussaka, the only question we were left with following our meal was " Why the hell is this place not packed out every night?"

The meal was lovely, Chris had the garlic mushrooms to start, it came in a sizzling platter and had onions mixed in, I went for the special roll which was like a jumbo cheese roll but stuffed with chicken and vegetables, it was delicious.

We both had steak for our main, Chris had the red wine sauce and I went for the pepper sauce, both cooked medium rare were absolutely lovely.

We couldn't fit a sweet but just to be sociable, I had a brandy and coffee.

It was a great meal and staff and service were first class, sitting there last night took me back to the seven hours we had spent outside Moussaka doing the auction last month, that was hard work but last night was pure pleasure until I started to think about how the hell are we going to top 15,000 lira next year !

Well done and thank you Moussaka for a lovely evening. Report on meal and night in the penthouse suite at Boston's to come.

We did ourselves proud at Wetherspoons in Lytham. We didn't eat there but we went through a few bob on the wetter side of getting together. Shirley has already started getting her bits together in readiness for next years auction. Hope to see you soon. Barrie.

Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Rimms on August 20, 2012, 12:39:03 PM: Hi Barrie and Shirley, great to hear from you and glad you had a great time with Chrissy & Pete and even better news that you've had Shirley out doing a few more jewellery shops! Hope to see you both soon.

Last night we took up our promise donated by Carol and Recep at Bostan's. The prize was a meal including a bottle of wine followed by an overnight stay in the Penthouse. We took the opportunity to spend the day at Bostan's and booked in at about 11.00am, after booking into the room and enjoying the lovely view over to Fethiye from the roof terrace we ventured down to the lovely pool and gardens, swim, sunbathe, a few drinks and lunch were taken in that order.

We were impressed by the choice of food on offer which is all cooked to order and many of the dishes are not seen on the menu elsewhere, we also noticed several people having the Sunday lunch which looked lovely. For dinner, I went for the pork chop cooked in cider and tarragon which was really nice and Chris equally enjoyed her Chicken with apple and brandy. There was loads of other things that tempted us on the menu and we are booked in to try the monthly curry night which happens first Tuesday of the month.

Once again, thanks for donating the promise to the charity and we both enjoyed our day thoroughly.

Post by: mercury on August 20, 2012, 18:03:13 PM: Keep the reviews comimg even if they arent favourable, We can then "forget" to ask the said place next year. We welcome all reviews of restaurants as well as gifts that you may have bought. My friend is doing "The Sun Dial day"which is an evening meal with wine and a night in the hotel with breakfast. and a dive day next week so I will report back on them. The return transfer by A2B was really good. They will be using them again so there kind donation has already earned them 2 more regular customers.

Post by: mercury on August 26, 2012, 08:30:14 AM: Review of The donation from The Sun Dial Hotel.... Dinner bed and breakfast. Our friends bought this from the Promises auction amongst other things and they were over the moon with the Sun Dial. They were given a room overlooking the pool and the whole of Fethiye and it had a lounge area and kitchenette in it... Great if you are staying more than the one night. They had all of the afternoon there and they were given the choice of anything they wanted off the menu. They said it was really excellent. A nice sleep in a quite room and then a delicious breakfast..... They will be fighting people off if this gets donated again next year. It was a superb donation. Thanks Murat.

Post by: mercury on September 01, 2012, 09:08:40 AM: A review of the Discover scuba diving day donated by Lykia World. This was taken by my friend who dont read the forum.... He has always wanted to do this but by his own admition didnt have the nerve until this came up at The Promises Auction. He was told that he could also take his wife for the day for 20 quid. So she took them up on it. Andy kindly picked them up on his way to work there at 7.a.m. He took them to the restaurant village and said they could eat and drink anything they wanted. He settled on bacon butties as he was slightly nervous. His wife had the full works.lol. !!! Andy advised her where the best pools where. how to get around and do the little bus tour. Rick was taken for his suit and given very comprehensive safety advice etc. 5 skills!! they then went diving but he wasnt happy so came back up. Andy was absolutley brilliant!! calmed him down and said if he wanted to give up that was fine but as he had come so far it would be a shame and "should we do just another 10 mins" which due to Andys skill and patience turned into one of the best 40 mins of his life.... Andy never left his side the whole time. He got a certificate and will be trying it again next time he comes over from England. It was a lifetimes ambition and had he not been at the Auction would probably never have realised it. They also got a superb lunch at the amazing restaurant and spent a lovely afternoon at Lykia before being brought home again by Andy. So a big big thank you to Lykia World and in particular Andy and I mustnt forget Lin his wife who helped set up the day with me on the phone and kept me informed of everything they would need. I believe that there was another dive day sold so if anyone knows who took it could they let us know how they got on. Also The All inclusive day at Majesty Tuana?

I'm certain that next year's Promises Auction will be well advertised here on CBF and do hope that we can meet you again :) :)

Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: mercury on September 04, 2012, 14:45:43 PM: Dont forget for anyone who has bought meals at the Promises Auction that they have to be taken before the end of THIS season. I still have 2 but as one is a romantic venue I will be saving it towards our Ruby wedding in October. The other I am waiting for until it is cooler weather. Pie and mash and a pudding with custard from pies and pasties. Roll on October.

Post by: lynne on September 16, 2012, 08:58:06 AM: Forgot to add our review - sorry! We had our meal at the Chinese Breeze and it was really, really good. I am afraid this is a restaurant that we have previously walked past and never bothered with but we were very impressed with it. We had taken our daughter with us so we paid for one extra person which was no problem at all. Highly recommended and now we will eat there again. Thanks 3Cs!
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: turkishrod on September 16, 2012, 18:59:06 PM: Some fabulous reviews here - thank you for letting us know how the promises turn out :) :)
Title: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Rimms on September 17, 2012, 14:25:36 PM: We have a massive target to achieve in next years auction, if anyone can help out with a 'promise' however big or small, it will be greatly appreciated. I think we had about 160 promises this year and so I guess you can see the size of our task in these tough times.
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: mercury on September 17, 2012, 17:52:30 PM: They are coming in already George but shhh!! All reviews are welcome even if you were disapointed but it has to be said that we havent had a bad review yet??
Title: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Rimms on September 17, 2012, 18:48:40 PM: Sorry but I think you might have got hold of the wrong end of the stick on my reply. I'm not a bit disappointed about any review, quite the contrary actually, I was just hoping to stimulate people to think about 2013 promises. Like I said, we have a big target to beat.
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: mercury on September 17, 2012, 22:12:38 PM: No George. I meant if anyone was dissapointed with a promise that they should also let us know then we can either sort it out or "side step" the same promise next year. Also we have promises already coming in for 2013 but we are keeping them secret. Wouldnt want to spoil it.
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: mercury on September 28, 2012, 23:12:46 PM: Barrie and I went to Pies and Pastries today for our "pie fix" after the hot Summer. The deal was choice of any pie meal with chips or mash mushy peas and gravy. Any hot or cold desert for afters. We chose the steak pie with chips and lemon cheesecake to follow. It was really very good. Barbara came in with us for a cup of tea. Decided to buy herself a sandwich and pinched half my cheesecake I might add!! Lisa didnt charge for any of our drinks either and she also gave Barbara her lunch for free. Not a fortune I know but a lovely gesture all the same.... She is also baking us a cake to sell at The Coffee morning at Bostans. Very happy now my tummy is full. Thanks Lisa......The lemon cheescake is delicious!!!!!!!!

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on September 28, 2012, 23:39:53 PM: A bit late, but we got the two teeth whitenings at the Auction and they were used by my son and his new wife two weeks ago before the Wedding and they were both delighted with the treatment they got and the results where "sparkling"... We look forward to the 2013 Auction as we know we will find somethings that we will want to bid on. ;) ;D
Title: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Rimms on September 29, 2012, 07:55:01 AM: Strangely enough, we saw Jacqui Harvey and her family in dentist Cagatays waiting room considering the auction was held in June and by pure coincidence we both chose to take up our treatment promise in late September.

Chris won the two dental veneers ( sometimes called ceramics) she had already had four veneers carried out by Cagatay a couple of years ago and was delighted with the result, she chose to pay for a further two to go with the two she had bid for and won in the auction.

The treatment was started and completed in just a week involving just 3 visits to the surgery and once again thee results are first class. She has now decided to have the old black fillings in a couple of back teeth removed and replaced with white, hopefully, that will complete her 'Hollywood Smile'

We have to send our thanks to Cagatay, both of his promises were not only very valuable items raising an awful lot of money for the charity but it seems both recipients are really happy with the end result.
Title: Re: Promises Auction 2012 - Wednesday 6 June
Post by: Pi55y on October 14, 2012, 08:05:14 AM: We finally got around to taking our Promise last week. Pete had been successful in bidding on the days sailing which had been "promised" by the forums's Kaptainkrunchie (Peter Jackson) who is a RYA sailing instructor with Gocek Sea School which is part of Portway Yacht Charters.

Peter and his lovely wife Marion picked us up in Calis on the Tuesday morning and we drove to Gocek where we boarded the Orla Grey, a very nice 37' Bavaria yacht. After motoring out of Gocek we put the sails up and had a lovely few hours sailing around the bays before stopping off at the small restaurant at Kucuk Sarsala bay for a delicious pide lunch and drinks which was all included in the promise. By the time we left the restaurant after a long relaxing lunch where we found we had no end of friends in common, we set back for Gocek. Unfortunately the wind had dropped by then so it was a motor back - but still very pleasant to be out on the water.

We would like to thank Peter and Marion and the Gocek Sea School for providing a fabulous promise which we thoroughly enjoyed. We understand that Portway Yacht Charters has 22 yachts and cats to charter and that the sea school provides a full range of Royal Yachting Association sailing courses leading to qualifications including the International Certificate of Competence (ICC) so if anyone wants to take up sailing we would reccomend both the competence of their instructors and their boats.
