- Before people arrive — add the things people can bid on (section 3), and set how much money has already come in from the raffle (section 2).
- When the doors open — make sure the big button at the top says bidding is open.
- Through the evening — type a message in section 1 every so often so the board keeps moving. Keep the raffle total in section 2 up to date.
- When the film ends — tap the big button to close the bidding.
- Collecting the money — work down section 4. Tick each person off as they pay.
Nothing here can break the website. If you change something by mistake, just change it back.
1 Put a message on the board
It scrolls across the top of the screen so everyone sees it.
Messages already up there
2 Money raised outside the auction
Raffle tickets, the bar, buckets on the door. This gets added to the big total on the board, so the number everyone sees is the real one.
The GoFundMe total
The board reads the figure straight off the GoFundMe page every ten minutes and shows it separately from tonight's money.
3 Things people can bid on
Tap Change this on anything you want to edit.
4 Who owes what
The person winning each thing, and how to reach them. Tick the box once they have paid. Their details are never shown on the public board.
5 Messages from the room
People who have signed up can post a message of support. It appears on the board and scrolls across the top. Tap Take it down on anything you would rather not show — it disappears from the screen straight away.

Everyone who has signed up — and how to help someone who has forgotten their password
People sign up with an email and a password so all their bids stay together. If someone is locked out, tap Let them pick a new password — the next time they sign in with that email, whatever they type becomes their new password. You never need to know or invent one for them.
Someone bid by mistake? Tap here to undo a bid
Removing the top bid puts the person below back in front. You can put it back again afterwards.
Wording, target and closing time — you probably set these once and leave them
After the evening, the bidders’ names and phone numbers should be deleted — they are personal information. Ask Claude to run the clear-down for you once everyone has paid.
