Y'know, you get given someones name, secretly, and you give them a gift. In this case, a kit. You don't know who has you, and the person you have doesn't know that you have them. They give someone else a gift and so forth.
Thanks my friend, but I know what it is, I've run a few myself,. In fact, those are my rules from FSM :whistle: . I was just caught off guard because is only September

:headslap: Of course they were your instructions... sorry. And the reason I put it out for September was because I didn't know how much time we would need to organize. I know it is super early, but these sorts of things are best laid early.

One thing I need to say, is we need a minimum number of people. I say 8 people at least need to sign up before it is a go ahead. We also need someone who isn't part of the group to give out the names, otherwise at least someone will know who got them.

Last time I shipped something I sold the post office made me put a return address on the box so if we use USPS we will know who sent us what since we are mostly on first name basis around here.

Well yes and no,. If there's an odd guy somebody (it's usually me) buys and receives two. Not so bad.
I just just have too much going on myself. I need to complete FSM's SS from last year. :whistle:
It doesn't matter how far out you put it up just as long as the packages are shipped after Thanksgiving (in the US)
John, no worries brother :giggles: rules is rules.
Good luck, it's a super fun GB!
BTW, since I've done a few and I'm not going to participate this year, I can do your spreadsheet.

Buy the kit from an online store. Works well for someone out of country. Lets just say Hannants knows me but has never shipped anything to my home.
