Also, well done to all the sponsors. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long, but was nice to put some faces to names

Your memory is fine hodgo and thanks for all your efforts.
The fuel cards arrived yesterday and I've already activated them.

While we're in gratitude mode, lets all give a big hand to johntins for suggesting the whole crowd funding notion, V8 Ian for sparking interest and glueing it all together, collaborating with Hodgo on the raffle and all the background work, Hodgo for setting up the bank accountant mechanism for the raffle, all the prize donators and all those who put their hands in their pockets and pulled out the funds.
Asside from the raffle their was the go fund me campaign which saw generous contributions from AULRO members. In particular tact and the mysterious NQ AULRO, not to mention the skilful goading by Ancient Mariner.

All of these people need a very warm hug and a big pat on the back.

OH.and I forgot yo mention Inc for allowing it all to happen in this forum.

Thank for letting me know you received then Fuel cards are great prize as they can be used any where in Aust. and if you traveling for holidays etc they make it a less costly for the family. The first time I ever used fuel cards I was laughed at but they have been a great success in fund raising The next best was a $1000 prepaid card on Woolworths the women had no trouble buying them.

Sorry for the confusion hodgo......it might have been a case of timing. I certainly didn't intend to take the glory away from the actual organisors.

when johntins started the whole crowd fund thing I sent him a PM suggesting a raffle or auction and that I had a prize or two to kick start whatever was organized. johntins replied saying he sent a PM to incisor requesting approval to run a raffle....than a raffle post popped up some days later so I put two and two together but never seeked conformation just figured you and ian and John must have been chatting......

than I was speaking to ranga about my PM and suggestion..
