Last year we had a few outside the uk. Posted via royal mail. Its not all that much extra from memory. It was the doner that covered the postage of there prize.

Obviously if anyones postage bill is massive then im sure the winner would happily add a few quid towards delivery ?

What do people think ? 

That is fair enough with me I send out things all over the world with trades on YouTube and must admit that postage is reasonable from the UK

Count me in. 1983 + 1984 Royal Mint Silver Proof 1 pound coin,(boxed with coa's).

That's not what I meant, shipping costs is no problem at all. What I mean is, let's say, if I was to win a Nike voucher for a UK store, but living in the Netherlands, it would be useless.. Something like a redraw or something?

if someone from outside the uk wins my gift, then I'm happy to give them the cash instead otherwise it will be a £50 nike gift card.

since I am a very sporty person myself, I always want to encourage people to do more exercise, even though my girlfriend hates the idea and got very offended once when I bought her trainers 😂

then u should give away free gym membership 😂

Very nice.

On offer is four £5 unc coins comes in a lovely little coin box lol. See pics 

[dicker]

If the winner of my lot lives in the U.K. and my Liquers turn out ok, I will also include a small bottle of Blackberry / Raspberry / Blackcurrant rum as part of the prize as a bonus.

If it turns out badly I won’t include but of course will of course do my best to deliver in the “spirit” of the forum. 

Best

It is all organic and made with fruit from my garden, and high quality rum.

I make of for my shooting days, but it is also great with champagne as a mixer. 

Personally I have to dilute French champagne with some English spirit to make it palatable 😉

...or would it be possible to do a swap with another forum member?

[jonrms]

This is why I suggested a prize in one hat and a number in another. 

Then swaps could be done secret Santa type. 

 

[Bullionbilly]

Maybe it would be a good idea once the draws start to have a "swaps" page in the thread ? 

That way if you get a prize you want to swap the doner can hold off posting until you confirm a swap ? Saving postage cost  = doner to you then you to the exchange.

What do you think ? 

 

[Bullionbilly]

40 entries already ! 

Just added ME into the list aswel ( making 41 )... i'd forgot about me LOL. 🤣

The only problem with that is the delay in drawings, someone might get the season tickets or a voucher  and might be unable to swap. If that makes sense. 

1 draw a day is great but it can cause problems especially since we are soo big now

I think we should leave it as is, its a Christmas surprise gift.  If I got something I really didn’t like (i’ve never been a Man U fan...😂🤣) I could always sell or swap it onwards.  

That said I’ll go with the flow, but let’s not over complicate a simple and fantastic idea

Lets see what people think. I hear what you are saying. 

It could be changed if it proved popular to all be drawn the same day. In my opinion its better done dailey " advent style ".

All prizes can still be swapped theres no swap deadline so to speak. I cant see many items been swapped to be honest. 

@Willike are there any games in December that a winner wouldnt want to miss ?

Edit...Or do you have dates in mind for the prize , i shouldnt presume it was free in December .

It probably depends more on which games he can't attend or wants to miss
