Fundraising details further down. Anyone wishing to donate without taking part in the auction please feel free to go ahead 
Classic Poker Chips made these chips for a mainstream movie being produced now:

They made us put in all sorts of controls so we couldnt make extra chips and had to sign non-disclosure papers.
They will definitely be in view in the film – close up – so much so we had to replicate as close as possible the original chips used there (also made by Burt Co on H mold)
In exchange for providing the chips at cost we are supposed to get a credit on the film, and I was allowed to keep 3 sets only (I have only this one spare set which they agreed I could auction for charity in this way).

My annual outright call for donations.
This fundraiser is significant to our team in particular. Our 2013 team captain (and rugby club MC) David Kurk was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year.
It's Movember and time to make a difference.
Men’s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for mens health including prostate and testicular cancer.
I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn’t important, every little contribution helps Movember to continue its funding of world class programmes. If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit Movember's Program Overview page.
To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• This year 40,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in the UK
• 47% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under 35 years and over 90% occur in men under 55 years
If you’d like to help change these statistics, please donate to me by:
