Just received the following from Sempre_ItaliaThe first bit is a quote from my post in Uncovered as I had to explain that the book was not in the raffle. (I had previously said it was)Could somebody please explain what the heck this is all about??????? "Oooh I forgot to say that the Ligabue signed book is NOT in our raffle afterall, I am sorry if I have mislead anybody it seems that that it is being raffled separately - I haven't any details really as am completely confused by the notion of an additional raffle???? Ho hum.." Moxie Hi, I told David a month ago that this was a one off raffle as he asked then if it were to be included in your raffle. I heard no more about your's and arranged with Sarah got her to carry mine out at the barbe. At the moment I have contacted a couple of places specifically geared towards Ligabue fans. One is The Italian Institute where 150 turned up that morning. Only a few staff and myself managed to get an autograph, which means if I can do an outside raffle with them at least as participants - well.I also have approached Ligabue management ..... If these fail then The Italian Bookshop??? And so on. However please feel free to tell your pal, Karen, I'll settle for £1000 for it and a share in the new Italia Uncovered website!!! lolTake care I'll let you know what transpires.Sally sempre_italia

But this is the first email I received from SI and thought it was all in one ??? Don't worry about it - will see how many tickets she sells! Hi Sarah Do you think then we should combine the members here and your barbe guests in the raffle and hold it at your house on the 21st June??? Is £/€2 a reasonable entry fee???. People donate online then pm us for entry notification. I was also thinking it would be nice to throw in a copy of The Appeal song bought from an actual shop. A presto Sally

Ok ... not worried, just irritated (again) thought she wasn't supposed to hassle people with the PM system anymore though...grrrr.Cutting and pasting bits of Uncovered posts??? Strange!I still haven't a clue what she is going on about - Have promised Angie I'll let her deal with anything that comes up with Sally Sempre_Italia so am effectively gagged. 

I am as confused as the rest of you, and have spent the last 20mins re reading posts, and trying to understand whats going on, had asked Sal to hold on re her announcements on this community, but was ticked off for that!. Moxie & Sarah, will talk later when I have thought about it. Dont think it is viable to hold 2 raffles at once at the BBQ and it propbably isnt what we envisaged anyway, perhaps it would be better for Sal to conduct her own raffle as I think it detracts from what we are doing, and is silly to have 2 going at once on this community, tho I fear that may become the case, what a nuisance.Ax

It was not me! I only asked the question "is the autograph going into our raffle". I did not receive a straight reply. The woman be mad! Mad! MAD Oi tell ee!
