As most of you know a much respected member of the KT / AG has just recently lost his wife.

I know many of you have got to know Chris and Maureen over the last few years and have become good friends,

Chris I would like you to know that we all feel for your loss, you know that a lot of people will be here for you any time you need them,

I hope you don’t mind if this months YDC is dedicated to Maureen.

I think I speak for a majority on here when I say that I would like us all to put our differences to one side for this YDC, let us all work together to raise as much money as we can.

This month YDC will be in memory of Maureen, all money that will be raised will be donated to Marie Curie at Hampstead.

Please can you list as much as you can and bid as much as you can afford. Ask your friends to bid, if you’re in touch with any older members please ask them to participate.

This is for Maureen





Special thanks goes to Jay for putting this suggestion forward and to Becks for allowing Marie curie as her nominated charity

Hi everyone,
I'd like to donate items to this very worthy cause.
Can you give me, and possibly other newcomers, a brief rundown on when / how to do it?
Many Thanks

3) Your auction must be hosted on eBid.co.uk and it must NOT break eBids rules.

4) You MUST list your item between midnight Friday and midnight Sunday.
Even ONE MINUTE too early or too late will mean that your auction will NOT be accepted in YDC.

5) Your auction MUST be for charity (or a good cause) and you MUST add the following to your description:

This auction is an entry in YDC, money raised will go to.....(Add the name of the charity/good cause here )

A brilliant idea!, IMHO this is exactly what the YDC is meant for.

Good luck everyone, let's hope that this month breaks all YDC records.

YDC >>>>>>> 6.00pm 24th August

4) You MUST list your item between midnight Friday and midnight Sunday. Even ONE MINUTE too early or too late will mean that your auction will NOT be accepted in YDC.

Which is correct for the start time, 6pm or midnight?
And is that midnight during the night of Thursday into Friday or Friday into Saturday?

17th August 2007, 10:50 PM
Laff did'nt notice that post jay done


On Monday i will post the YDC times and rules.


Times have changed

So there is no confusion now.

LISTING WILL START AT 6.00pm FRIDAY EVENING

All listings must be submitted by 12.00 midnight on Sunday

Just a Thought.....

Can we ask "the boys" to blanket email all UK members about this special auction? Not everyone reads the forums.....

Hello Yvonne


I dont think there is would be nice if the boys announced it each month on the home page, then people that dont come into the forums or buyers would be see it.

If it's a bulk editor to change/insert stuff in your own auctions, Damian suggested this one.

Otherwise, I'm with Shezz. The YDC should get front page advertising.

Yes.

You could use the 'my notices' function. I will do this on my auctions in the run up to ydc start :0)
