Paul,

re raffle prizes, I would recommend using freecycle. I have just got an 
HP all in one printer (PSC 1510) in perfect working order with which I 
am going to upgrade my existing PSC 1410, for nothing. In return, I have 
put up my very old HP 720c with spare cartridges, for someone else to 
have. I have often seen old PC's, monitors and other items, offered, on 
our West Devon freecycle.

If you used freecycle to get your prizes, any money made would be pure 
profit. Since this is just to be ploughed back into the lug, I think 
this is well justified.

If you think this is a possibility, I could start forwarding you adverts 
possible items, for you to review. As I am a member, I can always take 
care of the collection and can store in the garage until required.

Great shame about the Fun Day - we were planning to go.

regards

Viv
