[QUOTE="Ian Savage, post: 583, member: 156"] [b]Comet Raffle[/b] Dave Just a comment on the Comet raffles since you mentioned it, as I organised them. There were two raffles, the first Comet was won by a South London member, for a £1, the price of a ticket! For the second raffle the winner turned down the Comet and took the cash 'alternative' so the Comet was sold off at the going rate of the day, I can't remember but you maybe right at £3000. Before anyone asks, raffling the BS was considered by the Exec. but due to gaming licence rules it would not be viable, there are limits on value of prizes and cost of tickets which directly affect the cost of the licence. That's one of the reasons, I believe, why the VMCC only raffle ‘ordinary’ bikes, no Broughs or Manxs'. Ian [/QUOTE]
