Well done for raising such a great total. We enjoy so many ballet and opera productions and look forward to seeing the renovations.
When do you commence assembling prizes. I might donate a piece of sculpture if that interests you. Depends on work flow & your cut-off time!
I congratulate all draw winners.
My only comment to those who wish to
remain anonymous is that if all winners
selected that option, the draw would be
meaningless. In all likelihood it would not achieve its objective.
I am in favour of disclosure of the names of all winners for the sake of the draw's success.
Yes, a bit of a spoil sport if all you do is say you're 'anonymous'. It would make the drawing meaningless. It's not the Lottery, and surely those who won a cashmere wrap or something similar as not going to get hounded as being rich!!
Congratulations to all the winners.
However to respond to the previous post, the success of the draw is not dependant upon the choice to remain anonymous or not. The two things are not correlated.
The freedom to swing your stick ends where the noses of the anonymous winners begin. They chose anonymity and we should all respect that.
Congratulations to all that won a prize! Look forward to next year's Grand Draw!
