Anyone interested? For those who don't remember, or weren't there, the old Ducatisti forum used to run a Secret Santa each year. It was quite good fun & some of the prezzies were cool. I got an Indian Running Duck for someone one year. It died. Last year I received a very nice Ducati cappuccino cup, which I use every morning. Some members got very ace stuf indeed, and conversley, some got utter tat! As it appears that Paivi (who used to do all the necessary pairing up & notifications & stuff) has gone AWOL, I will do the Admin this year. If you want to join in I need, by Personal Message (not in this thread), by 9PM Thursday 29th November 2012: Participants forum name, real name & delivery address. I will, at some point on FRIDAY 30th NOVEMBER 2012: get the Little Monsters to draw, from an Arai RX7GP, names (traditionally known as victims). I will then inform said victims, by PM, on the same day, who they are buying for, this will probably not be who they are due to receive a gift from. There is a reason for the relatively short lead time, which I'm acutely aware doesn't give us a great deal of time to get a large amount of members joining in, the reason is that this is an international forum, and the Secret Santa is open to all members, irrespective of location, so bear in mind that Royal Mail's last Airmail posting dates for overseas are: [TABLE="width: 724"] [TR] [TD]Wednesday 5 December[/TD] [TD="class: secondcolumn"]Asia, Australia, Far East (including Japan), New Zealand[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Friday 7 December[/TD] [TD="class: secondcolumn"]Africa, Caribbean, Central America, Middle East and South America[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Monday 10 December[/TD] [TD]Canada, Eastern Europe and USA[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Wednesday 12 December[/TD] [TD]Western Europe[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Last posting dates for UK packets are: [TABLE="width: 724"] [TR] [TD]Thursday 13 December[/TD] [TD]Standard Parcels[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Tuesday 18 December[/TD] [TD]Second Class and Recorded Signed For[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Thursday 20 December[/TD] [TD]First Class and Recorded Signed For[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Non-UK participants please be aware of your own countries last Airmail posting dates to various destinations. I know that this doesn't give us a lot of time to do the joining in & doing the shopping thing, but Paivi usually started this thing off a couple of weeks earlier than I have this year, I was kind of hoping someone else would take on the task, but there you go. Some things to bear in mind: Suggested value for your gift: Around £10, plus postage. You can spend more if you want, (and if I am your victim that would be very cool indeed... :wink: ) but no moaning if your return gift is some horrendous piece of cheap shite: 'tis better to give than receive blah, blah, bah humbug. There is a Secret Santa Wish List thread: http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f18/secret-santa-wish-list-thread-6207 , post on there, NOT HERE, what you would possibly like. Don't be surprised when you don't get that Panigale, Pikes Peak or bottle of 50 year old single malt though.... If you choose to participate, then don't bother to send a gift, this is Bad Form, and will attract Bad Karma. I will harass you by PM until you see the error of your ways & send a prezzie to your victim. Proof of postage might well be a good defence here, it only costs a few pence more to send something Recorded Delivery.... It's all meant to be fun, so lets enjoy it! REMEMBER, I NEED YOUR ENTRIES BY THURSDAY 29TH NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Late entries might be entertained, but don't be disappointed if I can't accommodate you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
