Well, Guys and Girls it time again for SS. Please read the rules below before submitting your names and details, and please remember that it's a lot of fun.
Secret Santa Rules
It’s that time again folks. On the basis of the uptake and success of last year’s event I presume people are going to want to do it again.
For those new to the forum, the idea is that you enter your name into the random draw and everyone is allocated the name of another entrant. You send a hand tool gift of your choosing and receive one back from someone else. That’s it, simply really. I'm happy to administrate proceedings again and suggest we adopt the rules from last year, which are as follows;
1. If you wish to participate, PM me, your name forum handle and postal address I will not disclose this to anyone other than your allocated Santa.
2. Closing date for names to be with me is 10th November. You will be informed of your SS within a week.
3. There is no upper or lower value limit - you should give something that you would be happy to receive yourself.
4. Gifts can be shop-made, purchased, something you already own; whichever suits you best, provided it is hand tool related. Personally I think we will get most satisfaction out of this by going with shop-made items if you can, but its by no means compulsory.
5. Once I have all the names I will allocate a Santa to each of the participants in a random draw.
6. Once the list is compiled I will PM the name and address of the person you are allocated to send a gift to, back to you.
7. You are responsible for organising (and paying for) the postage of the gift to arrive in time.
8. SS gifts should be sent no later than 10th December to allow for delivery before Christmas.
9. If for whatever reason you need to drop out, let me know as soon as you can so I can try and rearrange the list.
10. Whether you choose to remain anonymous to the receiver is entirely up to you - last year some did and some didn't.
Please post any queries or things I forgot in this thread. If anyone has suggestions of things to improve or change from last year please let me know.
