  1. I am currently "winning" four shirts, must have been in a bad drug haze as I only wanted two!

  2. Thanks for posting and bumping up again Craig! So cool every Cure items have been bid on, and so far the level of interest is way up there..TCT are doing a fantastic job, they are a "small charity" by all accounts (around 100 people).I have been lucky to attend every year for the last 10 years, and meet some great people there.Just a bit of info on the provenance of some of the items:The tambourine is the one Roger threw into the crowd at Bestival 2011. I contacted Roger around 3 months ago with the idea of auctionning it, and told him my charity of choice was TCT, and his response was:"Funny you should mention the TCT, I won't say anymore!"..that's when i knew they were gonna play the RAH again this year!(and had to keep it quiet, which i (almost) did :)
    The program, ticket and backstage pass was kindly signed personally by Robert backstage after the show in 2006. I was privileged to meet him with the presidents of the charity at the time Dr Adrian Leon Whiteson OBE and Myrna Nita Whiteson MBE.

    There's room to go until sunday, so please BID BID BID!!!...our favourite band is doing a great job at helping this charity, and i have it on the highest authority that it is MUCH appreciated.:)Thank you! JC

    2. Oh yeah, I was just looking at the Cure only items. :)
      I didn't win anything, but considering I went to both shows, they got my money via tickets.
