SUMMER BALL AUCTION OF PROMISES

19 June 2024

We are delighted to unveil the Summer Ball Auction of Promises raising money for Nick Apperley’s three MND Charities.
Many thanks to Neena and Stefan Atkinson for sourcing and cataloguing the 40 promises and of course to all the very generous people who donated. Lots 1 to 30 will be a silent auction, but for lots 31 to 40 we shall be having a live auction run by our gavel holder in residence Andy Gardner.
Those attending the evening will have plenty of opportunity to get your bids in, either on our silent auction bidding sheets or by yelling at Andy for the live lots (we really don’t think subtle nods will work if you want your bids to succeed!).
For those unable to attend, please send your full and final bids on any of our 40 lots to tonymhill@hotmail.com BY NO LATER THAN NOON ON SATURDAY 22ND JUNE and we shall make sure that the highest of the remote bids for each lot are entered.
The Summer Ball Team
