Thanks, Emps. You're a star!

[Emperor]

No worries.

Bidding is going well so far:

Leigh Gallagher - £100
Frazer Irving - £35 (with Al Ewing and the author of the book in the bidding war)
Al Ewing - £150 (including Paul Cornell trying to sneak in there!!)
Sharky - £50
Wayne - got a bit confusing but the 3 highest bids are £30, 35 and 40

Which is already pretty damn impressive. Fingers crossed the extra attention brings a few more bids in.

[HOO-HAA]

Emp, thanks for the promotion!

I think us boarders did very well, all in. £440 if my maths ain't failing me. Everyone invloved, whether through bidding, pimping or donating their time or energy, should feel very proud indeed.

[HOO-HAA]

The results are in! Over £11K raised so far, so HUGE congratulations to all involved!
