Howdy all!
We have an exciting new project that I am happy to formally announce in partnership with some incredibly talented UK Silver Pourers .
@StBeesSilver @RiverbankSilver @SilverAngel @LiquidMetalsUK @AtomicSilver @GeordieStacker and myself are going to be creating a collaboration Silver Bar to raffle off to raise funds for The Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. @ChrisSilver Has approved this to be managed and run via The Silver Forum, a big thanks for that!
We are looking at adding additional UK pourers too - any new confirmations will be shared out here on this thread in due course. 
The Red Cross Appeal is a very worthy cause right now and one that will bring a lot of much needed aid to a lot of people. 
https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-crisis-appeal
Check them out and please feel free to donate outside of this raffle too!
Now, we are working out all of the particulars and this thread serves as STAGE 1
STAGE 1 - Adding Weight - 1 week 
Each UK Silver Pourer is donating 1 ozt of silver but we are open for anyone else to donate additional oz's of silver to make more bars and bigger bars. 
The plan is to get up to 50 ozt (this is a decent weight to be posting in one go around the country) and have 5 or 6 bars of 8 to 10 ozt each.
So, if you would like to donate an oz of silver then you can do so one of two ways:
1) Please DM me (Backyard Bullion) and I will give you my PO Box address where you can physically send your silver. 999 fine silver only please and preferably coin form 
Option 1 is only available to UK based members. 
2) Purchase an ozt of silver directly from me to be added to the pot. I will be sourcing silver coins from the forum to add these to the pot, a good guide right now is about £23 per oz.
Option 2 will be best for NON UK members to donate silver - no long shipping or Import tax issues. 
At the end of Sunday 20th March I will know how much Silver we are working with and I can pour some big boy bars for us all to stamp!
STAGE 2 - Hallmarking - 1 Week
We plan to have a big feature laser hallmark applied to these bars. As big as we can get that fits well and shows off the wonders of UK Hallmarking
STAGE 3 - Stamping - 1 to 2 Weeks
After Hallmarking is done we can all add our logos and stamping flavour to the bar(s).
We have 6 pourers confirmed right now, that might increase so getting it posted around the country might take a week or two.
STAGE 4 - Raffle
The exact date of the raffle closing and draw will depend somewhat on the timescales from the above. 
We plan to have tickets cost £5 each with as many entries as you like per person. Entries will be payable to me (Backyard Bullion) with ALL proceeds going to the Red Cross Appeal after the raffle closes. 
Multiple bars means multiple winners so the more silver we can raise in week 1 the better. 
MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW IN DUE COURSE
This is all an evolving project plan but because of the time it will take to get these bars made we wanted to start the ball rolling right now. 
I will be sharing more information about the raffle tickets in due course. 
What YOU need to do right now
If you would like to get involved by donating an ozt of silver (or more that one single oz!) please let us all know by sharing here or DM'ing me for details of how to donate or send silver. 
 

The 3 oz are my favourite size!

Hi @BackyardBullion
Great-looking bars as always!
I will take my usual 2 numbers again, please.
Thanks,
