CyclingForRekko Lottery. The Little Story of Our Prizes.

By Kasia. on | Leave a comment

Hey Everyone!

Of course I am writing just before my bed time, between sipping lemsip and coughing. Spring is comign, let’s get ill!

Today I wanted to mention about the event we created for CyclingForRekko. We just started a big, hopefully international lottery with some cool prizes. How it works? You make a donation – £2.00. That is a cost of the lottery ticket. You put your name clearly with the donation, don’t be shy, we need to know who you are! Then you’re going to get a number! And then you can win one of our prizes!

We decided to collect our prizes asking for support independent stores in Manchester. So I went to Mancunian Temple of those, Affleck’s Palace and by far we managed to get a promise from little Clothes Store (we need to come back there) and a handmade bracelet from The Bracelet Store. Basically, I found out that you just need to ask and there are people out there who want to help!

The greatest support we received from The Empire Exchange, amazing second-hand shop, a true mine of vinyls, books, comic books, dvds, everything you want really… Paul gave us a special voucher for our prizes. Of course it’s impossible to pick the right ones!

By far we have a bracelet:

ColdPlay Viva La Vida Or Death and all His Friends Piano/vocal/Guitar musical score. For those who love music!

There will be more to come! I need at least more long visits at Empire Exchange to pick something hopefully appealing.

The lottery runs till nearly 19th May, so you have plenty of time to join!

Here is the link on fb to the event:

We count on you!

Now, off to bed!

Good Night!

Ma sopratutto abbiamo raccolto 430euro.
