IWD - Playing Kit Silent Auction

[dcdulwich]

Last day to put a bid in today. No clue how much it will take to win a kit so will probably (hopefully) bid too much and help raise a decent amount. Well done to everyone involved and fingers crossed...

How will it be announced?
Will you do it live and interactive on Twitter, like the draw for the FA Trophy?
Or will you do it secretly in a darkened room and have it leak out two hours later via The Gosport Chronicle, like the draw for the FA Trophy...?

Hopeful that I'll be able to publish the winners on Trust / club websites early afternoon tomorrow, I'll also message people with the winning bids direct either by email or text

 

[Scolly]

We received an amazing 70 bids for the silent auction. I will be contacting the winners this afternoon.

Thanks to everyone who took part!

Have all the winners been contacted now? I was hoping to receive one of the lucky texts and know of one who has been told already.

 

[Steven S]

Agreed. I was with a guy who bid way more than he should have. Upon handing in his form, he asked if he needed to bid more in order to be confident of winning and was duly laughed at.

I believe that person was me and Scolly has just messaged me so it was well worth it. All for a great cause and will be the envy of most when I wear it proudly at games going forward.

Also noticed a message above saying that No 11 was a medium so works out even better for me being a short ass.

They have now.

Thanks to everyone who submitted bid, commiserations to those who didn't win this time around. News regarding the remaining (subs) kits will be posted at a later date.

Sobbing uncontrollably at failed bid.
On a bright note though, seems like a decent amount must have been raised. Any chance of a ballpark figure for the total?

Not sure if the individual figures are being revealing or total but No.11 was purchased for £220, No.6 for £100. Guessing it's okay to say now that it's all over with and revealed.

Would assume around £1200-£1500

 

[EDC]

I thought they'd go for more than those amounts. Wish I'd bid now.

 

[MrFab_JP]

Gutted! Had a punt at £100 for number 6 myself.
All for a good cause, and hopefully a good amount raised Looking forward to tomorrow night.

 

[scousedom]

Very well done to everyone who won. Am fairly devastated to have missed out having bid over £100, but very glad to know that so much has been raised for the cause.
