Redemption charity auction

[watervole]

Redemption approaches once more!

Whaddya mean, it's still seven months away?  That's hardly any time at all.

You know the con must be getting close, because I'm on the scrounge for donations for the charity auction.

Root though those dusty cupboards, reclaim your shelf space!  Dig out all those photos from shows that are no longer your favourites.

Did that have Clive Anderson as a president? I think he mentioned it a lot in an episode of "QI"?

I have a load of DVDs, a load of mint-condition scifi subject magazines, t-shirts, etc. I'll let you know details of the items and you can decide which are good for the auction and which can go to the stall.

Fantastic! T-shirts are often popular and DVDs always sell. (IF you don't mind the idea of them being cut up, I might use a few of the magazines towards a door-decorating work shop)

I have the full set of Blake's Seven videos that tlingel kindly donated to me before he sadly passed away.
I had planned to donate these to the auction in the hope that we might raise a few pounds for a stroke charity, or whatever is deemed appropriate.
Let me know.

They'll sell better in the dealer's room. I'll get Richard to sell them as complete seasons. (I can give the money to the con charity or pass it to you for the stroke charity if you prefer) They won't fetch a lot, but there might be someone there who hasn't seen Blakes 7 and wants to give it a try. (Or a fan looking to convert a friend)
