Hey there boys n girls
Right firstly I have to wholeheartedly apologize about the huge delay in getting it together with this prize giveaway, but life has been pretty hectic & rather rough for me of late with a forced house move on the cards that I am going through coupled with both my PC's going down within days of each other & the members list being on one of them, it has also taken some time to find something I deem worthy for the giveaway & then get it graded.
Luckily I finally got there.
Right bit of a shocker, but I managed to get hold of Deborah via email & it went back & forth for a while with her/him?? saying they would return all the donations to me to forward back to you guys, sadly as anticipated that never happened, but I let the emails run till she no longer replied & it was obvious that the offers of return of the gifts were nothing more than outright lies, sorry guys, both me Dennis & Matt have done everything we can do legally to try to get the donations back to you but its never going to happen from what I can tell.
It really is a sad state of affairs after all the effort you all put in to making something good happen for what we considered to be a fellow member in need of a pick me up, just bear in mind we did the right thing & you should all feel good about yourselves regardless of the outcome & I would urge you all to not let this affect future happenings, its just a bummer we all got rooked.
I was holding the remainder of the funds that were donated for the Deborah collection until we heard back from her & saw some photos of what we hoped to be a smiling face with some great SW goodness , sadly I am sure we all know by now, we would be waiting till hell froze over for those photos & a genuine thank to turn up.
So after some funds came out of what we had to pay for the shipping of the laptop that was donated to the member that sent it FOC & at their own expense the remainder sat in my account & has been doing for far to long.
I discussed at length with both Dennis & Matt what should be done & after much consideration we decided it would be best to try to do the best we can with the funds & decided a quality MOC bought with the funds should be given away at random to one of the donators in a little giveaway.
I managed to eventually get what I consider a value for money quality MOC that I hope will appeal to all, I then got it in to Steve @ UKG for grading, Steve then really put the icing on the cake by kindly grading the MOC FOC as a little extra for those who so kindly donated.
This is the card that is available -
Postage anywhere in the world will be sorted, I will make sure its very well packed for its journey on to you & hope the lucky winner will get some pleasure out of this, as I hope you all will.
One small thing I ask is that if you are the winner & you don't want the MOC, that you re feed the numbers in to the random number generator & put another number/winner up,so it goes somewhere that it will be appreciated & deserved rather than it just been flipped.
I have put the 48 names in to the random number generator & will announce the winner at 9pm GMT on Saturday.
I know its not what we had all hoped for, but I do hope this little offering will help to sweeten the bitter aftertaste we have all had from this.
