The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
Wubert, in the end there were so many participants that I had to put the 2019 guesses onto a separate page.
Aduk, in response to your OT question earlier, yes, day 1 of 5 will be walking from the Lagos de Covadonga to the refugio de Ario.
Rev.
Sorry, meant Soolsker is the winner, but RNLI is the charity either way.
I've been meaning to post an update on the FOIL sweepstake now that it's getting close, and it becoming a topic of conversation has prompted me so here goes.
Firstly DC is correct about the date winner - clearly ChiselHurst, so anyone involved in the FOIL date sweepstake please donate £5 to RNLI.
As for the FOIL price sweepstake I have a bit of a problem. I was planning on posting who was the winner on the day of the FOIL RNS. If we're correct in our calculations and FOIL will happen around the 1st June then I'll be out of internet range (walking in the Picos de Europa if you must know) for a week, so you'll have to sort it out amongst yourselves who is the winner. Just to say that the rules I decided on were that it would be the closing price on the LSE website (meaning the 'share price' as shown above) on the day the RNS drops and that the guess takes in the whole pence (so the price now is 53.55 so a guess of 53 would win rather than 54). What happens if it's between 2 guesses we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!

'This rope business Has just about wiped out everyone on the sweepstake , not many left i would have thought.'
Correct, just 4 horses left in the running.

One thing that all these mishaps and delays of Foil shows (though strictly there hasn't been a delay since the co guidance is still 1H2019) is what a genius deal the Spirit farm in was.
Imagine waiting all this time for Foil if we knew we couldn't progress any drills until we had the cashflow for them!
ADUK, just logged in to see what's happening regarding our boat and seem to have stumbled into a very weird episode of the vicar of Dibley, which includes guitarists from 10CC, taking drugs and making a mess in an Oxford church.
Sounds like far too much fun to me.
That said I spend August Bank holidays slumming it at Leeds Fest as a Festival Angel, so what do I know!
Anyway, back to that boat of ours, doesn't seem to have moved much.
Rev.
Casa, I would tend to agree that this may be how the co will proceed (unless of course they get a fantastic offer for the whole lot), but I would also suggest that once/if one field has been sold then Mr Market will assign a similar value (with a percentage discount for uncertainty) to the remaining blocks, thus lifting the share price considerably even after the first special dividend.
Reverandy,
"Wow, ADUK, referencing Billy Graham and Jerry Garcia in the same post. Not bad going."
ADUK
I fear a misunderstanding. I was referencing Bill Graham, the (Jewish) concert promoter, not Billy Graham, the Christian Evangelist.
Oops, sorry, though the quote you gave - "the Dead aren't just the best at what they do, they're the only ones".- does sound like it could have come from a Christian evangelist.
Ah well, back to my monk's cell to keep quiet and read about shipwatchers and oilmen!
Rev.
Wow, ADUK, referencing Billy Graham and Jerry Garcia in the same post. Not bad going.
(sorry for O/T but I just felt the need to respond.)
Rev
Hi Biff,
Yes, closing price on the day of the FOIL RNS.

As we get closer to FOIL (which going by predictions on this BB could be anywhere between 1 week and 2 months away) I thought I'd offer some clarifications on the FOIL date and SP sweepstakes. For the newbies here these sweepstakes closed in the summer, so no new guesses are allowed, sorry.
1. The share price will be the one shown on the LSE website as shown above at 5pm on the day the FOIL RNS lands.
2. If nobody has the correct price it will go to the nearest price (so anything under 64p goes to NorthCBubble), though hoping it will be well above that by then (fingers crossed)
3. The date will be the date quoted in the RNS saying FOIL was achieved on X date. If the RNS shows no date then I will be approaching the company for a date.
I'll post the possible dates and prices in the next couple of posts.
Cheers.
Rev.
Having just finished my midnight mass sermon and waiting to head off to church I thought I'd just wish everyone on this BB a very blessed Christmas and may all go well with you in the new year.
Rev.
Absolutely BNB, I meant to say that if the sp is below 64p then that answer wins, not that I'm announcing the winner now. I agree, we have about a month at least before Foil and plenty can happen in that time.
Rev.
Much as I would love some more money for the church coffers I suggest that the lowest guess wins (writing this quickly on my phone so don't know who the lowest guess was but seem to remember it being around the 64p Mark)

If this carries on much longer the winners of the sweepstakes will be Soolsker (28th May 2019) and NorthCBubble (64p)! Not that I truly believe that (though NCB may well win the SP one). Anyway, I'm fine with a bit of a wait, not planning on selling til well after Foil in any case.
All the same. I'm going to post all the various sweepstake guesses in following posts so we can have a laugh at how overly optimistic we all were instead of griping at the delays.
P.S. Happy to Learn, if I'm allowed to say this, you're in my prayers.
