Quote for pi55y on the CBF Pin badges “And yes the 3C's would be delighted to act as distributors for the badges at our charity shop on Calis prom if people are able to pick them up from there”.
As usual the 3C’s step forward unconditionally and offer their help with an initiative.
But I think we could all agree that they give more than enough of their time already.
So, may I suggest we give them a helping hand and raise enough money to provide them with a free supply of CBF pin badges for them to sell so that they can put all of the proceeds into their wonderful work.
Sweepstakes appear to be quite popular so I’ve set one up for the US Open Golf Tournament.
The Qualifying Rounds are taking place at present but 52 players have pre-qualified and I have randomly allocated a number to each of those.
If you are kind enough, all you have to do is chose a number(s) and donate £ 2.00 for each. There will, of course, be a prize for the winner.
I was extremely grateful that we managed to find donors for 40 horses in the recent Grand National Sweepstake.
Can we go one better and get 52 for this sweepstake – knowing the generosity of Forum members I think we can. I certainly hope so.
Thank you

-
I'll have three numbers please - any three.
-
Thank you for getting us off to a great start bluwise
The present Mrs H picked 24, 38 and 51 for you.
And being first to pick you have been rewarded with 3 good golfers.
Will reveal their names later.
-
Great stuff - I'll let the 'armchair golfer' in the lounge know.
-
2 for me please H.
-
Thanks Jim - Brenda picked 15 and 42 for you.
One hot favourite and a decent outsider.
-
Three for me please.. Ta ;D :-*
-
Great to see our regulars supporting the kids again.
How about some of you who have never got involved joining in? It's funny, so many people tell me how much they enjoy CBF or how it really helped them. If you enjoy CBF or have received good (FREE) advice, why not go mad and spend two quid. You only live once.
Thanks.
-
Brenda selected 35 (your age :)), 40 (my age ;) ) and 52 for you jacqui.
All very good Europeans.
Thanks so much for taking part yet again ;D
-
Thanks "H" and the lovely Brenda. I like 35, in fact I stuck at that age a long time ago. Do we pay again through Keith's Paypal Account?? ;D
-
Yes please pay via
keith @ calis-beach.co.uk at Paypal
Thanks
-
Perhaps that we should say that if anyone does not use paypal that will not prevent you from entering.
We will readily find a way of parting you with your money :).
So if you don't have paypal just pick some numbers and we will work out a payment method.
-
Can Brenda pick 4 good uns for me please H if that's not being greedy.
-
Not greedy bewva. Generous as usual.
The lovely lady picked 2, 21, 33 and 43 for you
All no hopers, sorry ;)
-
Well that's us to a decent start with par for the course participants. We have completed the first 3 holes and are safely on the fourth fairway.
Who wants to take the next shot. Here's the scorecard to date so you can see what numbers are still available.

I will PM an address as I need to pay for the badges here in the UK. Many thanks!
-
7 and 37 are all your sunlover. Thank you so much. ;D
2 decent Americans who will have home advantage.
-
There's been a misunderstanding - not everyone, just a few members.
THIS IS NOT BADGES FOR SALE
This is a sweepstake trying to raise up to £100 for 3Cs so they get their badges to sell without having to pay up to£100 for them.
We will be selling the badges at a later date, they don't exist yet.
£2 buys you a sweepstake place. If you win, you get twenty quid. The rest goes to pay for the badges 3C will then sell to raise charity cash.
-
It was probably my Scottish accent but I seem to have confused some people.
If you have promised to participate to date you have agreed to pay £ 2.00 for a golfer in a sweepstake. You have not promised to buy a badge.
The proceeds of the sweepstake will be used to purchase badges which will be supplied free to the Charity for them to sell and thus raise money for the children.
I apologise if that wasn’t clear and if anyone misunderstood and wants to withdraw from the sweepstake then just let me know.
Of course I would hope that doesn’t happen and that as well as taking part in the sweepstake you buy a badge.

Ah you mean like explained in the first post. ;)
-
There's further bad news.
The prize is more likely to be in the region of £ 20.00 with the majority of the money going to the kids.
It's my sweepstake and I'm a lot, lot tighter than scunner ! :) ;)
-
Oops there appears to be an echo in here tonight. :-[
And it was going so well ;D ;D ;D
-
Ah you mean like explained in the first post. ;)
We thought so :)
-
OK - may have to call that bogey hole :).
Back to business then. Who wants some numbers - there are still big names available.
-
Can I have the winner please H? Err, sorry a number please H. ;) :)
Will pay via paypal.

Received your message too, no problem :)

I'll have a couple please and attempt to pay by the dreaded Paypal.

-
Paypal seems to be playing up! Will try later or tomorrow. if unsuccessful will pay the 3C's.
-
I will take random 2 of whatever is left please
-
Paypal seems to be playing up! Will try later or tomorrow. if unsuccessful will pay the 3C's.
I can give you an address in UK for cheques or a UK bank account for an online transfer if either would help. Paying 3Cs sounds like a good option but I need the money here not over there, to pay for the badges that we will give to 3Cs for nothing :)
-
I'll have a couple please and attempt to pay by the dreaded Paypal.
I'll give you first and last Colwyn - 3 & 45. Thank you.
-

Does it matter? If you are looking for the lucky number it is too late; I've got it.
-
Ooh you lucky thing! I'll give the 3Cs 10 quid if you'll sign it over to me! ;D
-
Assuming lizdev takes number 6, there is a choice of 14, 19, 29, 34

Geoff & I
Sorry badger but they are all gone but I have sent a PM.
Thanks anyway :)
-
I got a feeling this year that a qualifier will win. How many of those are there?
-
All paid up via paypal :D
-
I have 20 bags of nothing (bag not included) for £2 each for those that missed out. keith @ calis-beach.co.uk is the Paypal reference :D
-
Quite a few Colwyn :) and well spotted.
I had thought of that and our winner will be the highest placed of the 52.
Hope that is ok with everyone.
-
All paid up via paypal :D
Thank you Suzzo, received safely with thanks. I'll keep you a bag of nothing (bag not included) too ;)
-
H, just thought you could sell the qualifiers H - it would be a better deal than Scunner's bagless nothingness ... probably.
-
You caught me in mid post colwyn the last line of which was going to read
Colwyn of course makes a very valid point re qualifiers and we may yet come back and try and "sell" the entire filed of 156 :)
-
So Colwyn, what do you think about my buying your lucky number for £10?
Cheers Scunner. The postage will be pretty cheap on that at least. ;D
-
You would probably fritter the prize money away on nonsense; whereas I would definitely devote it to Efes.
-

INCREDIBLE
We launched this sweepstake at 17:40 last night and by 14:06 this afternoon all of the 52 available numbers had been taken.
Thank you so much for all those who took part. You will have helped to make photographs like this possible
(http://s14.postimg.org/8qhg0a6vh/bozalan.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/8qhg0a6vh/)
By the way it was scunner's suggestion. I was just happy to run it.
-
You would probably fritter it away on nonsense; whereas I would definitely devote it to Efes.
OK you win. A much more worthy use of the winnings than the food I was going to put on my kids' table... Hehehe!
Brilliantly well done again H and Scunner.
-
Brilliant stuff.
This means that a large quantity of CBF badges will be sent to the 3Cs shop in Calis for them to sell to people over there. They will not need to pay for them, you guys have already paid on their behalf.
So they sell at £3 per badge and the profit to put into local children's causes is £3 per badge.
I'd call that pretty impressive - thanks again to the members of Calis Beach Forum. Thank you to everyone who entered our (John's) sweepstake.
-
No probs will pay £4.00 into paypal pot anyway.
8) :-*
-
Here is the list as we stand. I hope you are happy with your golfer :)
(http://s21.postimg.org/5ozdmi8nn/US_SWEEP2.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/5ozdmi8nn/)
I also hope it's correct ;)
-
Sorry i missed this so I will donate £5 to the 3Cs shop end of may when I am over http://calis-beach.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif
H i have written 100 lines "must not miss Highlanders games"
-
Never 'erd of 'em but am happy that you took the time (yet again) to raise money :-*
-
No probs will pay £4.00 into paypal pot anyway.
8) :-*
Thanks for the badge money badge :D
It arrived safely.
-
All 52 slots sold out in way less than 24 hours by the way :)
-
Wowwwwww that was quick!
Thank you everybody who has taken part in H's latest competition and also Keith for allowing it. Obviously a huge thanks to H himself who is the master of ideas.
We at the 3C's are getting really excited about getting our supply of badges :) (makes a change from badgers - another story ;). ) It will also be a chance for us to put faces to names when members drop into the shop to buy them.
-
