Hi hun

Thanks so much  :hug: :hug: :hug:

We have had loads of wonderful volunteers so we have enough for the work butt thank so much for the lovely offer  :hug: :hug:

Just by joining in by either auctioning the smallest item or by bidding on something will help so much.  Each and every little bit really helps the needy cats  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I can help if needed, but I'm away for the last weekend of the auction from 30th Nov to 3rd Dec so not sure if that's a problem

 :wow:  you wonderful peeps you  :hug: :hug: :hug:

Bloomin marvellous you're :da best
:thankyou:

Basically while the auction is running we get loads of auction threads each with an auction item on that peeps are fightin  :sneaky: :evillaugh: bidding on and to make sure all the items are seen we jiggle them in the evenings so that the ones on the bottom of the list get pushed to top and to post the winning bidder so far each eve so that's the main job in the two weeks.  It can take an hour or two to bump the threads once the threads get going and we normally hit about 300 of them in 2nd week!  :wow: 

so would ideally like 3 teams of 2 wonderful auction staff. Each team will take turns each evening to do the work. So out of 14 nights when the auction is on for each team would be needed 4 times.  Then right at the end on 2nd Dec at 8pm we post the winners etc post on each thread.

Each team member and any other auction helpers will be given special Auction staff membership and access to an auction staff chattin thread. And will all be handsomely rewarded (ok their cats will) at the end  ;D

In the next week we will get the teams sorted and when each teem does which evening work. 

oooooooo how blommin exciting  :narna dance: :chicken:

 :hug: :hug:

Tan

I'm having more surgery on 5/12/12 so will be desperate for stuff to keep me busy for the following week. Not sure if this would be too late, though?

Hello every buddy :)

Well it's almost ere our annual auction fundraiser and for it to run smoothly we do quite a bit of background work.

We need helpers in the evenings for 3 or 4 evenings a week for the two weeks the auction runs  to bump up auction threads and then right at the end help with wining posts etc

If ya would like to help us that would be bloomin marvellous and auction staff will be rewarded ..... Well ok their cats will :D hee hee

Post ya name in this thread and I will contact ya

Thanks so much

Hugs
