I actually got a phone call to say they were ringing from the club did I want to purchase ticket over phone with all the same details that you have stated.

Was told the funds raised were going to pay off Linen House Centre.Not great timing with Christmas coming up.

I'd say so.

I told them call me back in the new year and I may buy one.

I didn't even see the scratchie attachment (which it is) because it came through to me with 8 attachments... after opening the first 3, which were all the insignia of "people action results", I didn't bother opening the rest.
Only after Matrix (who is a good bloke, I've met him) said there was a scratchy thing did I actually click on all the attachments, and sure enough, the last one was about a scratchy thing.

Why all the first 7 attachments... I dunno.

Cheers, Matrix. Next time I'm in Melbourne (whenever that wil be), if you are there, I'll buy you a beer with part of my winnings.
