    That's a good idea, set a price and stick with it like.

    Prohibitive Dublin bars rules and reg's are a pain though :/

    OK.

    I'll donate two bottles of champers from O Brien's.

    I like this one:http://www.obrienswine.ie/groups.aspx?productid=20466&groupid=4

    Will someone take 50 quid from me by Paypal and do the necessary?
    RoundyMooney, you've just gone up in my estimation by picking out a very good champagne.

    [shill]Bauchet rates up there with some of the better known houses at a fraction of the price[/shill]

    Some call me dipso, but I prefer to be tarred with having a discerning palate.

    ;)

    It's great value tbh.

    Still hoping someone can assist with this. I can buy them here but getting them up to Dubland will be a pain.

    You're a gentleman.

    Can you PM me an a/c (number & name) and a sortcode, and I'll send it on in the morning before I leave (heading for the leaba now)?

    Again, thanks, I owe you a pint.

    I won't be attending(going to France that morning), I was hoping to drop it over to you or another Boardsie in the next few days, if that would suit? I'll drop over Roundy's bottles and a bottle of white that I'll be contributing myself. I can give it to Agent Smith either if that suits as I'm sure he'll be attending, but I'll 100% have it in the hands of either yourself or someone who'll definitely be there by mid-week.

    Here's one that Roundy might be able to help with. How about until the raffle takes place, The Santa Strike Force get first call on anything put on the Freebies section of adverts.ie. Every now and then someone sticks up a half decent telly or something. A quick spit shine and then they could be raffled off as new :D

    Regarding ticket prices, well lets add up the prizes first

    Two bottles of Champagne
    1 bottle of white wine
    free disco/karaoke
    A bottle of sparkling wine
    I believe aidan_walsh said he'd stick a one year sub for boards in the kitty too
    Two bottles of wine from Eoin_S

    Possible prizes that have to get the go ahead but can easily be provided by Boards
    legal letters
    Mod for a day on your forum of choice
    1 "Get unbanned for free" card
    The ability to approve a forum suggestion of your choice
    A custom avatar (or a few, depending on how many the admins would allow)
    A custom user title (same as above, the number is up to the admins)

    It's worth thinking about.

    Off the top of my head, we'd need the donater to agree (which of course should be optional). As most of the stuff comes up in Dublin, a nominated person to receive the goods (possibly someone else to store them), as well as the person donating to mention in the ad that that person, on behalf of SSF gets first dibs.

    A sticky on the category would be a good way to get the message across, and the person nominated would need to be online daily in order to confirm acceptance.

    Perhaps a bit late to implement now for this event, but something along the lines of a charity auction a couple of times a year in conjunction with boards beers may be a runner.

    It certainly has potential I think. I'll help in any way I can :)

    Wait until you've a good idea of the amount of people that are coming, and a reasonably target that you'd like to generate for charity.

    I.e if 50 are coming and you want to get €200 for charity, charge €4 a ticket etc. Also depends on the number of prizes.

    Sounds like a boards.ie Jim'll Fix It.. or at very least the magic door on bosco.

    As for the raffle I'm sure I can donate an assortment of monkeys from my collection for this.
