After a full check and double check of all monies in I have just made the final balancing payment for the raffle.
£585 donated tonight brings it to £3300 as a grand total.
And here is my bank statement for all the donations, totalling £3300 (actually, the donations total £3270 but we had a £30 donation accidentally made directly to the RedCross that I included in the £3300 grand total)

Hope I'm not too late to enter, @BackyardBullion, but I have just sent you a donation. It's just for 1 ticket, but all the small bits help, doesn't it?

UPDATE - 25th March 2022
OK, we have the bars back from the assay office!
So, they will be winging their way around the country over the next few weeks and we will then be in a position to name a date for the draw to happen.
In the meantime I want to get the entries rolling in so that every few days we can make a nice big donation to The Red Cross
All the information about the charity can be found here:
https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-crisis-appeal
ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED
Prizes
8.96 ozt Ripple Bar
9.49 ozt Ripple Bar
9.96 ozt Ripple Bar
9.74 ozt Ripple Bar
9.68 ozt Ripple Bar
Total: 47.83
1x 1oz silver coin (to be determined at a later date)
1x 1oz silver coin (to be determined at a later date)
1x 1oz silver coin (to be determined at a later date)
1x 1oz silver coin (to be determined at a later date)
ONE PRIZE PER PERSON MAXIMUM
We are going to limit one prize per person to get as many winners as possible.
Winners will not have to pay for any postage/shipping
Winners will, however, be responsible for any import charges for delivery to their home country.
DRAW DATES
At this time we do not have a specific time for entries to close by and the draw date to happen.
My best estimate is that we will be able to draw the winners in week commencing 11th April 2022.
As soon as we have firm dates set for this we will communicate out here on the forum.
But I felt it would be a good idea to get the entries rolling in so that we can make donations every other day to The Red Cross sooner rather than later.
LIVE DRAWING THE RESULTS
I will be hosting a livestream on YouTube to draw the results using a random number generator. Exact details of this selection process will be shared in due course.
If anyone has any questions or anything else they want to know about this please feel free to ask here or PM me!
Thanks all!

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.

Because these Black Flag series coins do sell quickly, then it might be handy to know when you have to start paying attention.

I have contacted the Perth Mint via their contact form on their website about this last week, but sadly no response yet...
At least it isn't being mentioned in their upcoming coin releases section, so I'm guessing it won't be anytime soon.
