Wow, I have just had Newbury Rugby Club agree that they will give me one of their function rooms for free for the charity auction.... so it's 3rd March 2005 and I have plenty of time now to get lots of things organised for the event!! I am really pleased that they are going to help us!! :O)

That's great news! Have you got a friendly auctioneer lined up?. I know some will help out for charity events.

perhaps the person who said she was involved in British Snooker could get you some signed cues ?

Gwyneth.... consider yourself booked if you think you can help.... I wouldn't have a clue where to start!! :O) I will make sure there is a PA system for you to use as hopefully the place will be packed!! Paul.... who's involved with the snooker? Anything would be fantastic!! :O)

Sorry. I can cope with standing in front of a class at primary school, but adults?- they're scary!!

Fair comment babe.... I am going to see if i can line up someone from the rugby world but i doubt it will be anyone famous!! :O)

can't remember, have a look on Sylvia's SNOOKER thread

Try asking real life auctioneers. You need someone with a bit of know-how to be able to know when to nudge the people for just a bit more money. Perhaps you could get a local?celebrity (rugby or otherwise)to put in a guest performance and maybe sign autographs towards the cause.

Paul.... found it and have emailed the person in question asking if she knew who i could write to to get anything signed!! :O) Gwyneth.... you are absolutely right babe, and maybe I will have to start hunting for one!! :O)

Ok have contacted loads of Theatres with the hope of getting tickets.... who else can i/should i contact?

Thanks to Jan in York.... she has kindly offered to get a cue signed for the auction!! Yeay.... we are going to make hundreds and hundreds of £'s if it all comes off!! :O)

How about contacting local restaurants - a meal for 2 could be a good prize and some good advertising for the restaurant. Also bowling alley, rugby club, football club etc for free tickets. Jack x

Thanks jackie, that's a brilliant idea.... there are a few new ones in Newbury too so could be good to contact them!! :O)

Diana My Susie wants to know if your Susie will be accompanying you to the auction and lend you support. Wendy :O))

Di get the Tele on board. I am sure one of the Progs would love the attraction and it would do your efforts good. Great event One for the Diary Rose

Do you know anyone who could get you a couple of complimentary raace tickets? Ann Glos
