PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING RULES IN DETAIL BEFORE MAKING ANY DONATION PAYMENT.
Rule 1 - Each ticket costs £50 and is paid
in the form of a donation directly via the St Raphael’s Hospice Just Giving
Page, which can be found at the bottom of this blog. No money will pass through
David Walker’s hands and as such, no refunds can be given.
Rule 3 - The competition will open at 9am on Monday 11th November 2024 and will remain in place until 12 midnight on Friday 28th February 2025. However, David Walker reserves the right to bring things to a close earlier if all 150 tickets are sold before this time.
Rule 4 - Gift Aid can be added to your donation and David Walker asks that you include this to help increase the fundraising for St Raphael’s Hospice. However, it is not a mandatory requirement, and you are under no obligation to do so.
Rule 5 - Once you have made your donation, you MUST email David Walker on the following email address confirming that you have read and understood the rules, and that a payment has been made. He will then verify your payment and allocate ticket number(s) which will be emailed back to you. If your email does not state that the rules have been read and understood, then your ticket number(s) cannot be allocated. Failure to do this will result in you not receiving your ticket(s) and will be deemed as just a kind donation made to the cause. The email address to use is davidwalkerfj@gmail.com
Rule 6 - The draw will take place by means of all entrant’s names and corresponding numbers placed into a container and one name will be picked at random. David Walker aims to have this filmed with the footage placed online for everyone in the public domain via social media to see, so you must be comfortable with people seeing your name. The winner will then also receive a direct email confirming their win.
The final two rules refer to the winner receiving the prize. The reason of which can be best demonstrated by the following three photographs.
Rule 7 - Due to the sheer size and weight of the prize, the winner of the competition (or their designated representative) will need to be able to go to Dorset to collect the items in person. The collection is located approximately 8 miles in a straight line north from Bournemouth near to the town of Ferndown. NO ITEMS WILL BE DESPATCHED BY COURIER - THIS IS A COLLECTION ONLY PRIZE! As you can see, I've tried to wrap as many items up in protective bubble wrap, but not everything is covered. It would be advisable for the person making the collection to bring some protective items with them as well, to aid in the safe transit of all the items. David Walker cannot accept responsibility for any items which become damaged once they leave his premises, and it is down to the person making the collection that they are happy to transit the items before leaving. Please do not book your own courier such as Parcelforce or any of the many other delivery companies out there, as the items will not be handed over to a commercial operator.
Rule 8 - The winner will then have 30 days once their name and ticket number has been chosen to collect the items. If this doesn’t happen, then they will automatically forfeit their win, and a second draw will take place whereby a different winner will be announced. Should this happen, then the second winner will also have one calendar month to collect the items and so on, until the full prize has been claimed.
On behalf of Laura and myself, I'd like to wish you good luck, and hope that you will enjoy and cherish her beloved collection as much as she did. It gave her many years of happiness and joy whenever she received another piece to add to the pile. David on the other hand just rolled his eyes into his forehead and whenever asked if he like the latest piece, simply replied... yes dear!

Full disclosure. The competition prize is to win Laura's personal collection of Marmite memorabilia as seen in the images above. Some items are duplicated and these items are included within the prize. I've tried to be as open, transparent and honest as I possibly can - but I'm only human. So if you happen to spot any errors either on this blog, or when you come to make the collection if you are the winner, then understand no maliciousness was ever intended and that I've tried to describe as much as possible for you to see in advance before any monies have been paid. Thank you.
