Huge, huge thanks to all who donated prizes, we struggled to get everything on the prize table Also huge thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets or took part in the Whisky Experience. The total amount raised is £434.45 (not sure where the 45p came from) and we will be donating to Prostate Cancer UK, the charity chosen by Richard for his recent lycra fest. The donation will be made via the Just Giving page for Richard's event.

Once again many many thanks to all

cheers

As for merchandise, she will be emailing me confirmation, but in a nutshell, she is sending me a box of merchandise that will include pens, wallets, cuddly toys and other bits and bobs.

Plus, a BIG prize by way of apology:

She is sending me two tickets to the Goodwood Festival at the end of June, including lunch.

She asks if I would like these personally, but I'd rather these were put up for the raffle, or perhaps better still due to the value, that these are auctioned with the proceeds going to the charity of course.

She also told me that she had been trying all day to try to arrange a loan of a D4 S8 for the meet weekend, but had been unable to get one for the dates required. She did however say that she would be happy to make arrangements, through your local Audi Centres, for any of our members to take extended test drives from the end of June onwards.

All in all, a much better outcome to this, and I'm really really pleased with the gesture

Finally, I have also promised to send her photos from the event, can I assume you would all be happy to consent to these being used by them for PR if required?

So, as most of you know by now, the box of cheap tat from Audi turned up and formed part of the raffle on Saturday night.

However, and despite chase up emails to this lady Kelly, I have heard NOTHING more about the promised Goodwood tickets, so I'd just like to say sorry for leading you all up the garden path with those.

Needless to say I will be going on the attack via email and Audi UK's facebook page.

Please feel free to join in.

The email address for Audi UK's managing director is andre.konsbruck@audi.co.uk and/or you can post your comments on the thread on their Facebook page at Audi UK Facebook page

Do you know what, i had a call yesterday from Audi UK replying to the snotogramme i sent last week. The matey said "I'm just replying regarding your email and i just wanted to say that we have donated some things including 2 tickets to Goodwood" i said i know and thank you very much it was massive success and there will be some photo's coming your way as requested. He seemed supprised that it had happened already.
I didn't realise they had failed miserably or i'd have let him know. I feel violated.

The other thing Sarg is you want to tell them you’re getting threats of a lynching now as everyone thinks you’ve pocketed them as it was confirmed yesterday they have been sent. Thats just not fair

Talk about flippin' Murphy's Law

They just turned up in the post, postmarked yesterday.

I'm speaking with the event organisers now to come up with a way of distributing them now the raffle is over, any ideas gratefully received.

I sent off a letter to Mr Konsbruck earlier today regarding the tickets and the loan of a S8/A8, and this is what he said:

'I believe there is a big misunderstanding and unfortunately Mr Sargent forgot to tell you that he has been advised that the VIP tickets would not be physically available for your charity event for the simple reason that Goodwood only issued the festival tickets this week. The tickets have been sent out on 9th of June as promised.

With regard to the S8, Mr Sargent asked specifically for a S8 for the weekend which was unfortunately not available. When we later started to discuss an A8, also this model was not available any more on short notice, but has been offered for a test drive at a later stage.

I am therefore a bit irritated about the whole commotion and I wonder what will now happen with the VIP tickets.'
