National Charity Auction - LOTS LISTED IN THIS POST
*OPEN TO ALL* you don’t need to be attending the National - you can also send me advance bids by PM. Advance bidding will work like eBay; you will only pay an increment over the next highest bid. We will endeavour to keep this thread updated with latest bid levels. At the live auction the auctioneer will take 'bids off the wall' until the advance bid is exceeded (of course, it may not be).
If you are attending the auction you do not need to send me advance bids!
This will be a live auction, held after dinner at the Anchorage Hotel (9.00PM ish) on Saturday 16th June.
*THIS IS NOT A RAFFLE* the donations are too valuable!
I remember a few years ago at the Croft National we auctioned off a few pretty tasty lots which had been donated by some very generous people and companies. It seemed to generate much more cash than the raffle and was much more interesting to be involved in.
So this year we’re doing an auction again. The charity will be The Alex Cripps fund https://www.thebrain...ex-cripps-fund/ in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity.
You can also donate via Alex's Just Giving page https://www.justgivi.../AlexCrippsFund
Alex is CocoPops wife and mother to their two young girls and her journey has been documented by Lee in his “Brain Cancer Sucks†thread http://www.vx220.org...n-cancer-sucks/ . When Lee asked me if we could make Alex’s Fund the beneficiary of auction proceeds, how could I refuse?
So, starting yesterday evening, The Batman and I set to work trying to get items donated for the auction. In just 24hrs the response has been fantastic and we’ve had some fabulous donations from our generous supporters with the promise of plenty more to come.
Below is a list of what we’ve got so far, but please, let’s not stop here.
There are many companies (and individuals) who have benefited commercially from our little community; you know who you are! Don’t be shy...please drop me or The Batman a PM with your donation to the auction.
People aren’t stupid and will know if you haven’t donated anything 
The auction will be held on Saturday evening after the track day at the Anchorage Hotel.
**********************************************************
If you’re not attending the National don’t despair, we will be accepting advance bids (by PM to me). I promise that if your bid is too low, I will beat it. 
**********************************************************
All winning bids will be posted here for full transparency. Payment will be to me or Cocopops via cash, bank transfer or paypal. We will hold the money until the donor has fulfilled their obligations at which point we will transfer to via Just Giving (include gift aid) to Alex’s fund with the lot number noted in the comment.
