That's it - now add your thoughts....

We are just handling the Forum aspects here - not sure how the order fulfillment actually happens. It is though a site that needs developing on that's for sure.

Some have complained that there are not enough details on the merchandise - which would certainly be a criticism of my own - but I've discovered that leaving you mouse over some of the gifts seems to give a few more details. For myself I'm irresistibly drawn to the Searcy's book - but I'm feeling frugal so will start saving my RB Pointes I suppose.

How on earth could you think such a thing? RB need all the money they can get and we should all be supporting initiatives like this to the hilt I think.

I think they've missed a trick by not including Arbroath Smokies in the offers. I was up there a couple of weeks ago for my spring consignment.

Like Jim, I have been unable to get through on the 'Borrow a Dancer' line; I had been thinking that it would be nice to have that Ivan Putrov for a few days, as he looks to be quite a strong lad and might be able to help me with relaying the patio for the summer.

For those sceptics, I can heartily recommend 'Searcy's Book of Amazing Sandwiches'. I received a signed copy for Christmas and its Makarova low-fat turkey on ciabatta with Stretton pickle & Macmillan relish is just to die for.... (yum!)

On the subject of dying, your funeral service looks great too!

If you don't want Kobborg you can always pass him on to me...I'm sure I can think of something for him to do!!!!

But I still can't help feeling cynical about all this....

I have added a note to the RoyalBalletGifts.com page so its clear what it is.

Some of you may have missed the message "For a description of any item just let your mouse hover over it" - So rather then click on an item (and whiz here) you just leave your mouse over an item and you get a few words about it. For "Searcy's Book of Amazing Sandwiches" the elaborating text is 'Recreate the taste of the Floral Hall at home with Searcy's comprehensive instructions on sandwich making. Now with free Kettle Chip guide.' Sadly they are not all that good!

Thanks to everybody for their suggestions - it looks like there is money in a 'Borrow a Dancer' scheme!

Finally a note for next year... if you think you have spotted an April fool, best to go along with it or ask the following day - talking about it on the thread on the day may give the game away.
