I have just been informed by Frank that the frogman team went for £250! Bloody Hell, lads... Well done! Roy Castle will be smiling down on us from Heaven for that one!

Had nothing to do with alcohol that one, clearly, nor over enthusiastic friends assisting/egging on the bidding ;)

Now I've recovered from camping, just a note to say thanks to the organizers for a great event. And thanks to everyone who played my son and those ridiculously generous people who out bid him and then gave him the items anyway. It's a testament to all those groups that meant he was playing the cyanide version in the car on the way home.

As an interested third party, where the auction items featured anywhere online or was it only available for those on the day? Only in the past there has been online bidding available and I easily found the auction items. If they where online I couldn't see them anywhere.

More visibility > more bidder > more money for charity?

The Not Manchester Mayhem one had internet bids so I assume it was an option for Thrudball too

It wasn't AFAIK. I'm going to help out with communication for next year so will make sure it's a thing.

I had enough competition winning that frog team without the addition of internet bids in the mix ;)
Hopefully auction items will make it online for next year though, I only had an afternoon to work out which items I was throwing my money at, rather than a couple of weeks to get very excited...

Can we NOT do most Thrudlike next year. Having such an "Event" at 11:30pm when people have been drinking heavily is a recipe for nudity, loudness and threats to venue. Personally l found the drinking round particularly dangerous as the two people who made the biggest spectacle of themselves went from very drunk to totally out of it as a result of 4 units of alcohol in under 3 minutes.

From conversations I had others feel the same.
