    It's Here!

    The Grand National Sweepstake
    s9621.gif

    £2 a number, each number relates to a horse randomly selected by FC.
    Put your name next to the number you want, then re-post.
    Once (if) the list is full, just start another list.
    Horses will be revealed just before the Grand National starts.
    The owner of the winning horse in each list chooses a charity from Justgiving or Virginmoneygiving, then I will set up a charity page and people pay for their horse to the chosen charity.

    This is totally random, and the only winners are the chosen charities, no matter what David. says :D
    It was great fun last year, and raised over £300 for two great charities.
    If 2 people post at the same time, it is the first one to post that gets that number.
    It is all bound to go tits up with the list, so try to remember, its just for fun!!

    Thanks for updating the list DM :kisses3: I was indisposed :o I expect there will be another list for the day shift? I'm not sure I'll be around much tomorrow.....Im sure some kind soul will organise the chaos better than I can :D

    I will randomise the numbers once this list is full and the same random numbers can apply to a second list if there is one. The randomiser has a time stamp on so you know I'm not being naughty.

    I feel a bit :( that things have to get petty. We're just trying to have a bit of fun and raise some money at the same time. Can we leave the petty squabbles out of it PLEASE :)

    DM and I are 140 miles apart and are trying our best to co-ordinate things by PM :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

    I thought the list went quite smoothly :) thank you to the both of you.
