hi Hunnies
so sorry it's taken a while to get the auction news out and to sort out who is getting the funds this year. My spare time has been a bit scarce so I havent had any time to do all the sponsor work sadly.
This means the items going into the auction will mainly be items donated by members so the auction will be on a smaller basis than previous years. This years theme will be "every little counts" as any funds will help the rescue rather than none at all!
I do have lots to go up myself inlcuding a very very special "cant get anywhere" item
and I have contacted some fo the sponors that we deal with during the year so there will be some sponor stuff
Also as we have had no chance to work on the new software from last year , we will go back to the old way of just posting a thread in the auction section for each item up for auction.
I will set up the new 2015 auction section shortly (this week) with usual instruction etc.
Right on to which rescue will get the funds, This has not been an easy decision and i have lain awake worrying over this last few nights.
Basically, It is important that the Purrs members do know the rescue that their money is go to to help, so it is important that the rescue is a fairly active one on Purrs. The auction always raises more money if there is news about what furbabes are in need, how they are getting along etc so the Purrs members feel a repore with the rescue and want to help more. This is the main reason for the sucess of our auctions.
It is completely correct that the next independant rescue that is due the auction fund is Yorkshire Cat Rescue but sadly we have not heard for over a year about the babes in care and how they are getting along where other rescues have. But They are still a great rescue and care for many babes in need. Its not the hoomans we give the money for but for the cats at the end of the day.
The next rescue due on the list is Ron at Lost cats Brighton. As you all know he is really struggling at the mo.
So here is my deliema!! I could make the desicion myself and be strict but as the money is all our money , I am going to put it to the vote !!! Soooo Please can you choose in the above poll who you would like to get the aution money this year. As we are gettin close, please could you pop your vote in by Sunday 1st 10.30am. and when we reach that time, the one with the most votes gets the auction funds this year.
Bear with me while i set the poll
Thanks
