COMP :: Halloween SKF Fundraiser!

[Masta]

Hello Guys, I will be starting a SKF fundraiser so we can contribute a little money to the forum as a whole.

The fundraiser will consist of raffle which will be drawn at a later date.

Ticket Price: $5 per ticket

Draw Date: 31st October! Halloween

Donators will get 2 free tickets! And are also obviously allowed to buy more :) CAP HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED! UNLIMITED TICKETS! However, you can only win 1 prize! :)

There will be a separate pack made for the person who buys highest amount of tickets

Right now the highest tickets sold: 53 This will be updated everytime highest amount is changed

The person who buys highest ticket also has the chance of winning one of the prizes excluding the Door prize which he/her gets as a result of having most tickets. Eg, He/She Automatically gets the door prize for highest tickets, But goes into the draw to win another pack!

To buy tickets PM with amount of tickets and I will give you details to my account to pay.

The Draw:All tickets sold will be passed onto Dean to be fairly drawn :)

The Deadline for donations is Thursday 24th October! And packs will be made from then on!

Right now can we just place items into the pot so we have an idea. Just if you have a little to contribute that would be heaps great! I will update this OP as we get more items into the winner's prize pool.

Money can be paid to my account where I will keep all funds separate and will be sent as a contribution ON BEHALF on the whole forum.

For Donators: I will be happy to cover some postage costs for your item to be posted to the winner.

Feel free to ask questions about this, I hope I have made this clear for all. Also I will not be participating just as an act of fairness!

Thanks Marcus! Every little bit counts :)

[Squiggle]

Awesome idea dude, I'm sure I have something in my box of tricks I can add to the pot, hmmmmmmm what can I find :encouragement: Will let you know soon :victorious:

[Garnelchen]

What a great idea! :encouragement:

How do I buy tickets?

[fishmosy]

I'll donate some native shrimp. 6 zebras from my breeding colony and 12 riffle shrimp.

Pic of riffles to come.

[newbreed]

I'll donate 2x NAG Glass Plant Pots as one prize!!

I will donate at least 6 dark chocolate shrimp from my breeding group of Chocolates with Black and Blue genes I will post the actual shrimp pictures over the weekend when I pick out some nice ones. I too have had heaps of help from this forum so happy to join in.

Query:

Is this going to be one big prize, every item on its own, or multiple prize packs?

[Masta]

I think this will become one big prize pack. Let me know what you guys think and want

[ineke]

Perhaps wait a couple of days and see how many donations you get???

[Squiggle]

Sounds like a plan, not sure how many people would have enough room for three types of shrimp, maybe 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc, depending on how many types of shrimp. ie. Caridina, Neocaridina etc.

I'll try & get some pics later in the weekend, just a bit busy with the betta show at the moment :victorious:

[Masta]

Valid point squiggle. I shall separate them as soon as all donations are in. So shall be good, I have already got a few tickets already! Come on Guys, Buy them tickets :)

[Squiggle]

I think it might be a good idea for me to look after the panda & send it directly to the winner :encouragement:

[Masta]

yes, donaters will post their item to the winner of that item! :)

[CNgo2006]

Sorry if this sounds negative but I'm sure others are wondering the same but how will the ticket be drawn? I remember with Marcus's comp he sent the winning numbers to Dean first so there wouldn't be any hassles later with questions etc...

I remember this one time when major problems arose when a close "acquaintance" won the prize, the person who set it up received some negative remarks etc. as he was the sole person overlooking the comp, needless to say those type of comps ceased to run afterwards.

I am sure SKF won't have that problem but to save the dramas I think precautions and proper planning of these types of comps should be of priority. Please don't be offended by what I have said just stating one of life's truths.

Hi Chi, I have already asked dean, just waiting for confirmation, that's why I haven't wrote anything about it. I am going to send Dean the list with all the tickets people have purchased and from then he will draw it himself

And with that list, will be the total amount of money, since 1 ticket is $5, etc we can work out exactly how much money is paid. And from then it will be donated to the forum! Hope that is clear for everyone!

Cool...I always have to be the bad guy and ask the difficult questions but you know it is for the good of the forum and the person who sets up the comps....No dramas = no stress

[Squiggle]

Very valid point Chi, since with a raffle the winning numbers can't be given to anyone before the tickets have been sold or drawn, how about James sends all the tickets once sold to Dean & he draws the winners? Also James would keep the list of who has what ticket numbers, this way nobody has any chance of drawing a fabourable winner, any thoughts?

That was my plan Squiggle :) I have already asked Dean if he would kindly take the honours of drawing the winners :)
