We're BACK!

That's right! The generator wheels are spinning up, the dust has been blown off some of the contacts and I'm looking for that little springy thing that goes under the main lever. You know the one? You found it over by the couch in, like, February? 

Anyhoozits! We're going to start annoying people via email, seeking returning and additional sponsors, confirming support and generally working to get the biggest pile of STUFF we can possibly lay our hands on in order to move some tickets (including raffle tickets) and raise many cashbucks for Child's Play Charity.

 

Keep watching this space for more announcements in the coming weeks and months, and keep being awesome. Yeah. You. You're rad. :)

Done & dusted

*phew*

We've come out the other side of another wildly successful CPT Aus event.

Granted, there were a few hiccups with round explanation (I shouldn't be allowed near the explainses), but if we look at our KPIs, I think we can tick them off:

  • Fill a room with awesome people - CHECK
  • Ask questions and seek answers to those questions - CHECK
  • Give out loads of prizes and auction items - CHECKITY CHECK
  • Have fun and have a good laugh (even if only aimed at me) - CHECKARINO
  • Raise money for the kids - CHECK, CHECK and CHECK again!

How much? Well, how does $6,835 sound? Sounds pretty good, eh?

That takes our three year total to $16,955.

I'm just going to take a moment to process that.

Huge and eternal thanks to all of our prize donors, venue providers, ticket buyers and assistance givers. It was a great night, and would literally not be possible without all your amazing help.

 

 

SOLD OUT!!!

So... yeah... I'm crap at coordinating all the comms things.

I'll work to be better, but if this is the only outlet from which you get information, I owe you an apology. You see, we kinda sold out of tickets in about 5 weeks. That's about two and a bit times faster than last year, and is super awesome for us! It means that we're four weeks out and we've already raised $3840 for Child's Play. 

Unfortunately, because I didn't really keep this info stream updated, it means some of you may have missed out on tickets by not knowing how quickly they were selling.  For that, I apologise.

Fear not, however! You can still be in the running to win a great prize pack with our Remote Raffle!

For just $1.30 per ticket (including booking fee), you get a chance (or chances) to have your ticket number randomly generated by our random number generated on the night. :)

So get on it, humans! Help us help the kids. 
 

TICKETS ARE ON SALE!

Head over to https://www.trybooking.com/MUFD for event info and a ticket link.

Remember that you don't need to be on a table of 8 - we have LFG tickets.

Also, you don't need to book for your entire table in one go. If you're the first, just grab an unbooked-on table and tell your friends the table number.

Get in quick, too. We now have just over twice as many page Likes as we have room for people in the venue, so don't miss out!

You wouldn't want this to happen to you, would you:

Don't look now, but the machinery is chugging away behind the scenes and you should all keep an eye on our Facebook page and other social outlets in the next few days...

On a related note, the TryBooking team really do make it easy to make new events based on previous things so you don't need to reinvent the wheel each time. :)
