Qwirky I know.....
The $5- note was provided by KingBilly at the Nymboida NSW meet in 2013. Brett signed the note and up it went for auction. "GEOFFA" from VIC won the very first auction, and then kindly proceeded to set it up as a perpetual item.
The second year, at the QLD Rainbow Beach National Meet in 2015, JK, after some vicious and determined (alcohol induced) bidding, took the honour.
This year, at the VIC Mansfield National Meet, I was lucky enough, as a Queenslander, after some VERY vicious bidding, name calling, threats, and other things, took the honour and now have my name on the award.
For those that haven't seen it, I have attached a photo of what it looks like. Proudly hanging in my Games room.
Needless to say, that we now have had 2 Qld'ers ;D and 1 Victorian that have held the award.
Maybe some of the other states, for the 2019 meet, should consider how they are going to get a name, forever, onto the board. ;D

Anyhow will have it at Rawnsley on Easter Friday plus Steve's scotch for the auction.
Oh and by the way the famous 5 has been rather busy "breeding" and making more!!!
Post by: MarkVS on April 09, 2019, 07:41:17 AM
Thanks for picking up matey......
I am not sure how the 'other' $5 note got into the Games room to start the breeding process off....
It was in Vic for a brief year, but has been in QLD for the rest...be nice to make it a hat trick...(or if nothing else, keep Scotty and Speewa out of it ;D)
Really hating not going. >:(
Mark & Kerry

I'm new to all of this, but it seems only fitting that it go to a local. As it is in our backyard.
So I've saved all my pocket money, cashed in my cans and bottles, had to do 2 trips :-[ ( no I don't have a drinking problem. )
So it wont have to far travel staying in south aus :cup: :cup:

If its anything like at Mansfield you better do some more trips with Speewas cans prior to the auction. Last count was pretty high when the hammer fell, I was almost in bug trouble from the better half ;D

It's all for a good cause. Will have to consult with the financial officer/boss to see what my limits are ;D, I can get a bit carried away sometimes after a few beers :cheers:

I'm might have to do some serious drinking over the next week then. To make sure I can be in the mix.

Good luck to all the bidders. Who would have thought a five dollar note could have raised so much money for such a worthy cause.
