Congrats Chris!
Wonderful to be recognised.
Equally wonderful was the initiative, and to all the good members here that also helped to contribute.
Fantastic effort all round 馃憤馃榾

Back in November 1991 I won the plaque for most ticket sales to the March of Dimes Bachelor Auction. Then the next year I married the woman who bought me at the bachelor auction. So, I won twice!

You also won last year's Movember raffle too, no? Lucky guy!

@tyrantlizardrex, are you running a raffle again this year, and perhaps taking prize donations? I've developed a self-proclaimed competency in making pocket watch lanyards. I'd love to add one in as a 2nd, 3rd or Xplace prize in your raffle. I could send it to the lucky winner directly if that makes things easier.

Plans are afoot @DaveK!

That's super generous of you (and fricking cool!), but to keep things simple I'm going to stick to one big prize... the 2019 Movember Chronoris.

And a great big target of 拢15k 馃榾

Damn! Score...and perfect. Next prize must be a VP-of-Movember at Oris 馃榾

It's handsome as heck - worn it to a couple of Movember events, will probably wear it to a couple more before I raffle it off... if I'm lucky Oris will be up for making this an annual thing... we will see! 馃榾

Hey gang,

This Sunday (just before the Time 4A Pint Virtual GTG), I'll be heading out for a 26.2km ride on my small wheeled, 2 geared, Brompton folding bike, to raise money for Movember, as part of the 2.6 challenge - and I'd love your support.

As those of you who've met me know, I am not a slender gent, but since we've been stuck at home, I've been getting out for rides to try and ease the boredom, and the pressure on my waistline - if I can raise some cash to support the work in mental health, prostate, and testicular cancer that my moustachioed friends undertake, all the better.

Obviously, putting your hand in your pocket is not compulsory - I know we all have different situations, but if you have a couple of quid to spare, it would be most appreciated.

Phew! That was hard work!

So yesterday I covered 37.1km in 2 hours and 2 minutes - which on a 2 speed folding bicycle was hard work.

Huge thanks to everyone who has popped some cash in the pot, in ongoing support of the Movember Foundations mission to Stop Men Dying Too Young - you are all wonderful.

Grabbed some snaps of the silly orange bike in front of some landmarks on my route - enjoy!

Good Job!

I never got a real receipt from JustGiving for the donation of 拢30, and just wondering if it might be tax deductible? (I saved a screenshot)
