The "500th Member" Give-a-way Begins.

[Triggersmob]

It's time to launch the "500th member" give-a-way.
At this stage we have 404 members, so this should run for awhile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RULES & FORMAT

1. Open to all registered members of ACF with a minimum of at least 20 posts.
2. Contestants are required to contribute at least one coin, banknote or medal as their entry donation.
3. There is no minimum preset value or grade to your entry donation, it is left entirely up to each participant (must be in a collectible condition though, roadkill is not acceptable). Coins/banknotes/medals from Australia or foreign are all welcome.
4. Participants are required to announce by posting here, the coin/banknote/medal they are donating and if possible post a scan or photo of their entry donation.
5. All coins are to be sent to Kathryn,(The Purple Penny), where they will be held until the draw takes place. You must include your forum member name so we know who the items are from. Also include $1 to help with the cost of postage to the winner.
Send all entries to...
ACF c/o Kathryn Harris
PO Box 28
Dernancourt
SA 5075
6. The contest closes when the milestone of 500 members is reached. Kathryn and or Mark will then make the draw from a list of all participating members and the winner will receive all the coins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will keep a list of all participants on here, so have fun and let the contest begin.
96 to go.

As I will be the holder of the contributions and potentially be overseeing the draw of the winner I'll have to step aside from entering this competition. I look forward to some goodies in the mail!

[markn]

So I will just make a donation also.

Received today the first package of booty thanks to Triggersmob. I'm going to get a little shoebox and add everyone's contributions as they arrive!

Package has included the extra $1 contribution for postage to the winner and AP didn't stamp the stamps!!!!!!!

[JeffH]

Here is my entry.

Ready to post tomorrow. Can I suggest that if I win (unlikely but you never know), my entry be sent to the 500th member as a surprise "welcome" package.

[ausjack]

When it gets to 499 can I sign up again :blush2:

[Triggersmob]

When it gets to 499 can I sign up again :blush2:

Yes, anytime before we reach 500.

Can I suggest that if I win (unlikely but you never know), my entry be sent to the 500th member as a surprise "welcome" package.

Nice idea Jeff, but asking for their address, might give it away?

[JeffH]

When it gets to 499 can I sign up again :blush2:

"You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!" Don Henley, and Glenn Frey

As far as I can see you haven't yet checked in so, not actually possible to do it again.
