It is almost Pentecost, which reminds me that the Hosts and Grandees have been busy running these boards for us for nowt for a year so...

These boards run smoothly thanks to the efforts of a relatively small group of volunteers. Every so often there is a thread where shipmates can sign up to send a token of their appreciation to the hosts on behalf of all shipmates. Traditionally that was chocolate but in this there is no reason to be traditional!

Hosts and Admins opt-in, and will add any important info, e.g. allergies, plus what country they're in.

Post here to offer tribute. Give an idea of where you are based and please say if you are able to send to a different country. Sorry, but you can't specify a particular person to send to. I would be grateful if one or two shipmates would offer to be reserve senders.

There is no guarantee I will be able to allocate a recipient to you, as this depends on numbers of people participating. Post here by 31st May to join in.

I will PM the recipients the name of their suggested sender, and then post a list of matches on the thread. All senders please PM their recipient, asking for their address. I do not gather addresses of hosts so won't be able to help with this.

Would H&As please post here when they receive their goodies, so I know who still has to receive. Around the end of July, I will check the thread to see what is happening with recipients who have not received. Then I will make a final allocation using any unallocated senders including the reserves. The thread should be finished by the end of August.

Suggested price guideline: region of £5-10/US$7.50-15 or the local equivalent.

Now I have said that, let the fun commence!

Well, I missed last year through a combination of both being away and unobservant when I got back, so this year I'm opting in early. I live in the UK and will be very happy with any type of chocolate, but if pushed for a preference it would be Green and Black's, either milk or dark - or both!

Thanks, Jengie!

I'll opt in. I'm UK-based, happy to be surprised and to try something different*. The only things I don't currently like are white chocolate, hard toffees and fudge. Otherwise, I'd be very happy with anything that anyone was generous enough to send.

* With the exception of Marmite chocolate and Guinness chocolate.

Thank you Jengie.I love dark chocolate, very dark, no allergies.

Unfortunately, I suspect our customs may still be confiscating such stuff downunder.

On second thoughts, I will pull out.. Even if it was some other small thought than chocolate, our postal delivery makes it not worth the hassle involved. Deliveries have been cut in number, but even worse is that much stuff mailed to here disappears before arriving. I lost a gift ordered at Christmas for a grandchild when it fell off the back of a truck *in an entirely different postal areas. After weeks of complaints from me and the retailer, the address it arrived at was discovered and courier was severely reprimanded.

Thanks anyway for doing this.

* don't know if that is just an Aussie piece of slang. Goods bought and paid for disappear between despatch and delivery.

I'm in Japan, but by the time goodies get distributed I'll be back in the UK. I'll eat pretty much anything (though, if someone finds natto I'll draw the line at that), but in relation to chocolate like dark and without lots of bits in it - plain and simple, not nutty or fruity.

Nope. I was. He signed up late and there were only just enough sendees so he got me. I always allocate myself last.

Sorry this is taking longer than I intended. I am finding I can only work on it at weekends.

Most senders are notified but I need to check with one host that who I have allocated is ok. So please be patient with me.

I bought it - good

I got a box to post it in - well done

I gathered a bit of packing stuff - excellent

I wrote down Smudgie's address - good girl

Then I ate half of the chocolates - oooops, fail!!

But fear not, Smudgie, they have been replaced and will be posted tomorrow [Angel]
