I will be making collections of the first set of payments monday, so can you please create a new list.

If the tickets get sold at the current rate, then im aiming to have the draw at Mini.In.The.Park.2006.

The cut off date is 31st of July.


Thanks to everyone putting in for tickets now, I will be contacting you shortly.

LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE



I was kind of hoping to have a few more tickets sold already, since so many people showed interest when i started the idea of raffling my mini. Since then, ive had my hopes up that everything would go brilliantly and that it would be "in an ideal world" situation. Unfortunatly however this doesnt seem to be the case...

Ive been thinking the past few days

"what if it breaks before the raffle"
"what if i dont reach anywhere near the right amount of tickets"
"what if i have to refund everyone, especially via paypal"
"what if i get accused of fixing the raffle, even though i wouldnt dream of it"

etc.



For this reason ive had a long hard think, and even though i really could do with the cash and everything. My only choice was to pull out now before i start taking money, or take the money and hope it doesnt go tits up like ive been warned on SXOC. Personally i dont want people to hate me for messing them around and everything and i wish i could be man enough to let it run its course.. but i cant, things always go wrong for me and i can see that this will be another one of those things.


Im really sorry to everyone who has put their names down so far, i hope you can understand how hard this was in the first place.. let alone risk it messing up and blowing up in my face.


Regards


Dave

Good on you for giving it a go though although like you say it is a risky business!!

I think you would have more luck selling tickets at a show maybe, but as you say, a big risk to sell tickets and then not sell enough!

Thanks for understanding guys.. i can understand how i got your hopes up also.

Maybe leave it for a little bit, get 12months MOT and try selling tickets on a wider time scale.
