Title: Advent Calendar 2 – limited addition.
Post by: Highlander on November 09, 2015, 22:20:26 PM
OK – advent calendar 2 is launched.

Now how to put this as politely as possible and in a such a way so as not cause offence.

Regular contributors have already filled the first calendar and I am, as always extremely grateful for that.  Indeed mercury and bewva  have already said that they are “up” for calendar 2 and I suspect there may be others.

But before I accept more of these good people’s generosity can I respectfully ask members who haven’t taken part before to consider choosing a day. There are only 25 after all.

May I also ask those who have been kind enough to take part already on calendar 1 and who may want to take a day in calendar 2 to hang fire for awhile until we see how we go with “new” participants.

And because I would hate to see scunner suffering another 4 hour bus journey, the number a member picks in calendar 2 will be that day in December.

Come on CBF and particularly the regular posters who have a lot ot say, but when it come to H's Charity they are completely silent....  It is for the kids and it is for Christmas. ...
Title: Re: Advent Calendar 2 – limited addition.
Post by: Highlander on November 14, 2015, 21:40:48 PM
jacqui - it is for the kids and it is Christmas but it is still a personal choice.

As stoop mentioned in another thread he and his good lady chose their charities carefully due to limited funds.

And yet after watching Children In Need last night they found another few quid to donate to that wonderful cause.

That was a personal choice they made and one which I know you and I would respect totally and applaud.

Obviously I hope that we can find 17 people (other that the "usual suspects" - what an awful term) to participate but they have to decide.

Thanks for your continued support.  :)

Thank you so much echogirl1.

Can I just point out that echogirl1 has already taken two numbers on the first calendar and now her dog is even willing to help under privileged kids who have very little.

Just saying  :-[ :-[ :-[.

Hi John. Could I have numbers 14 and 24 please. Apologies as I havent been online recently I didnt see the posts regarding advent calendar 1 so I guess Ive missed instructions re. cost per number etc. Sorry to be a pain but could you just give me a quick reminder. Many thanks..and many thanks again for all the organisation!  :)
Title: Re: Advent Calendar 2 – limited addition.
Post by: Highlander on November 23, 2015, 20:25:53 PM
Absolutely no need for an apology lisarobb - I am very grateful to you  :). Here's the information you asked for

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.

Thanks again

Not quite I was number 18 on the first calendar. But you can leave it as it is if whoever had number 9 doesn't mind
Title: Re: Advent Calendar 2 – limited addition.
Post by: Highlander on November 26, 2015, 12:00:19 PM
Fran

You chose number 18 which had been randomly allocated to the ninth of December.

Perhaps it would have been easier (but less fun ?) just to let people chose their day as we did with the second calendar.

Thanks again for taking part.  :)
