Most of you will know that a certain Harley Bear has been traveling the world for the past several months (see Sticky in General Chat). He has already visited various parts of the UK, Australia, Dubai and even Oman. His further travels are likely to take perhaps another year and will include an extensive visit to to the United States. He seems to have had a great time so far, as can be seen on the Picture Board.
Meanwhile, his twin brother Charley Bear has been feeling badly left out of things and has been wondering just when it will be his turn for a bit of excitement and for a share of the glamour that Harley Bear has attracted. So to cheer him up, here is his picture to show what a handsome and attractive fellow he is (he and Harley Bear are identical twins).
And, at last, Charley Bear's moment has now come. He's going to be raffled and sent to the lucky winner, wherever in the world, to belong permanently to them. The sale of tickets starts now at and the raffle will close at midnight on Sunday 6th April, UK time. But this is most definitely not a raffle confined solely to the UK; it is open to all our members and we are anticipating an enthusiastic response worldwide.
The draw will be made immediately the raffle closes, under arrangements made by James (who is unbribable!) and the result announced in General Chat straight away. There will be two consolation prizes of wrist-sized versions of the orange and white necklace which goes with Charley Bear, as shown in the picture.
So, for details of how to get your tickets (and there's no limit to the number any one person can buy, provided they are registered RYL members) ..... CLICK HERE.
Any queries can be directed to me, either on this thread or, if preferred, by PM. And good luck!
Tony.
PS. Whoever wins him must provide a plentiful supply of hunney and hugs!

That's correct, no tickets are being physically sent out. I'll be making the draw from our electronic orders using special software which can make coffee, turn the universe on it's head and reverse time itself and or..err....make raffle draws!
I daresay something along those lines can be worked out - maybe Harley could sign it too or something along those lines (don't hold me to that though, I'll have to clear it with him first!)
Chloe, we are working initially on the basis of member names. For each ticket you buy one ticket with your member name on it will go into the draw. We do not need you to bother sending us your proper name or address, or anything else apart from payment, at this stage. But obviously we will eventually need names and current addresses of the winner and runners-up to send prizes to. We will call for these when the results are announced on 6th April.
Oh, and for anyone sending coins, please make sure they are well selloed into the envelope.
Hey, just a girl, I'll have you know that this is a proper raffle! But I'll talk to Harley and see if perhaps we might send a Certificate of Ownership to the winner, to go with Charley Bear.
