Raffle to try something fairly AWESOME!!!
« on: July 18, 2012 »
Here's an idea but you will all need to react pretty quickly to it if it's going to happen:

Groupon are offering a deal to try the new water activity of JetLeving:



It normally costs £119 (Reduced from £250) which may put a lot of people off but, what if we ran a Raffle and had 24 entrants (£5 Each) or 12 entrants (£10 Each) and a 1:24 or 1:12 chance of winning a go at this.

The deal ends in 2 days and 14 hours from the time of posting this thread so if you are 100% certain you want me to organise this raffle and will cough up the £5 or £10 (Depending on numbers) then say "Aye" below and promise to pay your money.

Please state clearly when you reply whether you would be happy to pay £5 for a 1:24 chance of winning or £10 for a 1:12 chance of winning or both. Once enough responses are received to go for either 1:12 or 1:24 I will purchase the deal via Groupon.

Put simply:

For the raffle you can spend £5 or £10. For £5 you get one chance to win, for £10 you get 2 chances to win. Basically 24 names go in the hat, one is pulled out. If you spent £10 your name goes in twice, if you spent £5 your name goes in once.


Hopefully I have explained this well enough for it to work.  PM me if you have any questions.

If we get enough interest then I will arrange the collection of your raffle money by PM. To help get the entrant numbers we need I will accept more than one entrant from each member should they have friends or family interested in having a punt, but they must register their interest via an NI-Wild Member who will be responsible for paying their entrance fee.
