Silent Auction


We're looking forward to a new way of holding an auction - in silence!

Potential bidders will each be given a number that can be noted on the bidding sheet for each item along with the amount of the bid. Bidding will commence at 12 noon, Saturday the 18th, and will close at 4.45pm on Sunday afternoon. The Clerk will assess each bid and declare the winners at 5pm, when you can claim either the object of your desire or a certificate for a later promise.


So far, we've received the following items for sale:

The outing includes breakfast, a light lunch, and tea, and is held on a Sunday, usually starting in the morning around 8.00am. Warm clothing, windproof hat, sunglasses, and gloves needed.  References available!
