Crafty Secret Santa 2013

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
names will be given out on the 25th of November, and its not just Austria mate. As explained by PM the changes in the postal system in the uk mean that whoever gets an international giftee would be saddled with a huge postage bill. Therefore this is being limited to people who have a uk postal address. If you want to then have it shipped to you at your own cost feel free. It just didn't seem fair to make some unlucky people have to pay a lot more in postage than others.
If anyone has an issue with this please feel free to PM me about it.
Thanks
Dave

as an aside there are STILL people who havent send me their postal address, PLEASE can you send these asap as it cuts down on the likelihood of people being withdrawn last minute.
Anyone who's address is not with me by the 25th will be removed from the draw.
Thanks again folks

Well in that case I will have to step out as well.
Bummer though was very much looking forward to it.
Perhaps a europe version?

A quick look at the Royal Mail website provided the following info:
A 'Small Packet' (Maximum size is length, width and depth combined - 90cm. Greatest single dimension - 60cm.) weighing say, 500g, RM Airmail to EU would cost £4.95.
A 'Small Parcel' the same weight and meeting the same size limits would cost £3.00 by RM 1st Class.
Less than 2 quid more for Europe - hardly going to break the bank is it?
I, for one would have no objection to an overseas giftee for my Crafty Secret Santa.

It's just pricey for the sender living outside the UK to send it to the UK too. No objection from me to send mine to any of our "Johnny Foreigners" either, though I shall be in the UK from 17th Dec.
I'll put my hand up here and admit it was me that raised this - given someone signed up located in South Africa (mark stotesbury). However I didn't want to single anyone out. Europe isn't so bad (especially as belabear made me such a great gift last year).
Ok, well I'll retire out then. I can't afford the £10 in postage to SA if it happened by chance at the moment.
I'd be willing to swap with you if you were given a giftee on the other side of the globe.
On the other hand, you could send something lighter.

Why don't we simply have an extra note on the list - "willing to post to EU"
MM, should stay in and be assured a uk participant.
Simples.
