yorks5stringer Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) This new Black Extreme Jazz-type Bass with hard case was very generously donated by "Rhino" and Beat-It Music of Baildon to the Yorkshire Bassbash, held on June 29th. The view of those present was that we should raffle it for £5.00 per ticket on this site as it exposes it to more potential purchasers and therefore we should be able to raise more money for the musically-related charities we wish to support. The winner drawn will get to choose which one of the following Charities the money raised goes to: MBF, Orpheus, Youth Music, Drake Music and Nordorff Robbins. The closing date for buying tickets will be 8.15 pm on Saturday 12th July, the winning ticket will be drawn by Ernie (the fastest milkman in the West Yorkshire) at that time. Remember this is for Charity and it is a great little package too. We have raised £40 so far from the Bash, help us take it to a more meaningful sum!

Thunderthumbs Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Just thinking along the lines of trying to make more money.... How about getting £5 each from members, and sticking it all in a Paypal account or the like, and then having a raffle for it? Surely more people would happily spend a fiver, and with any luck raise more money than one person buying it? Only my twopeneth. Regards, Pete.

Toasted Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Yeah - that works well. If 20 people will go into a £5 raffle then we raise £100.
Thunderthumbs Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Well I'm definitely up for the £5 into a raffle if yorks5stringer's happy to go with that idea.

However if at least 20 b'chatters pledge on here they will buy a £5 Raffle ticket then I'll set it up. It's over to you folks............

I'm not sure if I can set up a new Paypal account for myself (anyone ever done a new one)? If this is the case I'll pm my current PP account details and confidential subject heading to all those who buy a ticket! Edited July 2, 2008 by yorks5stringer
