one for me and one for my colleague ?
I will be most greatful if you.do as I am not of the well heeled
Also its for two good causes
Please give it some thought

The Caps have been sent from Singapore this morning so Scotia should have shortly...

Still await caps, I check every day

Debbie has confirmed they arrived in SA
So money on for Monday

Dave,can we have a list of the winning bidders..
They deserve a pat on the back..

Harris bought one for Flash Harry for 1926 after a wee arguement,but flash says donate it too sham auction,and he will bid the same...

Easy paid R2500 for another (the highest bid)

and andre paid over R10000 + for the other 5,but he made them in individual bids

Scotia made up the difference to R15000

all money has been paid and were just waiting on the caps,but have word they have arrived in SAF

So basically the cap Harris bought is going to end up being worth nearly R4000

Well done guys..

Just an update on the caps. I have had confirmation that they arrived in SA on 7 October (sent from Singapore on 25 Sept). With the current postal situation, I'm not sure how long it will take for these to be delivered. I have however got Joao to sign a second set which is ready and waiting to be couriered on Wednesday 16 October in the event of the other parcel not arriving. I will do this by express courier and they will be in South Africa by Friday.
I apologize for the delay but this is out of my hands and I hope that you will all have your signed caps by the end of this coming week.
Thanks again for your generosity and Joao has also expressed his thanks to everyone.
It's his last day riding in Singapore so let's hope he leaves in a blaze of glory.

Cheers Debbie we have to take our hat off to you or should we say CAPS
All the best to Joao today!

Another money on shot beaten, will try again in the morning!

I've realised that we can't rely on the South African postal service so have couriered another set of caps to South Africa (did this yesterday) and they have assured me that it will be no more than 3 working days but hopefully less.
If anyone can help Dave get the two caps on auction in Port Elizabeth down there in time, please let him know - we need someone's help on this.
