Oli Postcards , by raindogs on Jun 14, 2013 13:33:11 GMT 1, From Oli Bennet Secret Cards website: The sale will take place at Westminster School, Central London on 21st June 2013. If you wish to attend the sale please email us - olipostcards@btinternet.com to be put on the guest list. Please note that places are limited are the night of the sale. The cost of the cards this year is ยฃ40.
As last year we will be holding a raffle for the top 30 places in the queue so that whether you are able to attend the sale or not you will still have a chance of buying the cards you would like to buy. Raffle tickets are ยฃ1 each and you can buy a maximum of 20. The raffle will go live on 15 June 2013 and you must purchase your tickets before 6pm on 18 June 2013. The draw will be made that night. Winners will have 24 hours to return a form setting out their choices and to make their payment. They will be notified on 20 June what they have purchased. All remaining cards not sold in the raffle will be sold on the night of the sale. Any remaining cards after the evening sale will be advertised for sale on this site on a first come first served basis.
I read that, it's still unclear to me how the raffle will work? it says that there'll be a raffle for the first 30 people in the queue the 21st plus a raffle for people who can't attend the show and bought tickets before 6pm on the 18th? I guess I'll just buy 20 tickets and see what happens, it's for a good cause after all. Living in Italy I can't attend the sale in London. Last year I took 20 tickets and was lucky enough to win the raffle and have the chance to choose my preferred postcard without moving from home. It's for a good cause and so either way (win or lose) I will be happy!

Oli Postcards , by rsj on Jun 15, 2013 0:10:50 GMT 1, Like others I'm too a bit confused regarding the raffle... So there is a raffle for the top 30 places in the queue. Those picked will have the chance to pick which cards they like BEFORE the show. So, then, how do they prioritise the requests among those 30? Will priority be given to those who turn up to queue, or by the order they return the request form after the draw or...?

Oli Postcards , by pezlow on Jun 15, 2013 6:46:31 GMT 1, Hi all.
It's really quite straightforward. You enter the raffle. There will be a draw at 6pm on the 18th. You are told on the evening of the 18th whether you have won. You get sent a form for you to complete setting out your 40 top choices. We allocate the cards in order to people who have won the raffle in accordance with the position that people were drawn in the raffle and what their choices are. Last time virtually every raffle winner (and we drew 50) got cards which were in their top 10. You can buy a maximum of 2 cards in the raffle.
You have 24 hours to select your cards, return the form and pay for your choices. All remaining unsold cards will be for sale first come first served on the day of the sale.
The raffle is now live. You can donate by going to:
www.justgiving.com/olipostcards2013
You can buy up to 20 raffle tickets at ยฃ1 each. Thanks

Am I correct in assuming that by making a ยฃ20 donation to the justgiving page I will be automatically entered into the raffle for the cards? I cant make it that day so I don't need to join the raffle for the queue. Then if my name gets drawn once I have a chance to buy one of my top 50 cards for ยฃ20? Thanks

For some reason Justgiving no longer provide us with the email address of the payee, even if you tick the box that says you are happy to share that. IF YOU DON'T EMAIL US YOU WON'T BE IN THE RAFFLE. Many many thanks

You don't have to be there on the night, you can be based wherever in the world, we will send the cards to you. Sorry if it's confusing hope that helps

More cards loaded onto the site. With the exception of a possible few last minute entries that should be it. Do check the site every so often to see if we've uploaded any more.
I really think it's a strong year this year, I won't reveal my personal favourites because there are so many cards that I love.
